YOUTUBE LIVE: 4X4 CHRISTMAS CARDS
Happy Wednesday! If you missed the Live where we made these cards, you can check it out here: Let’s Connect & Create: 4×4 Cards.
For the first card I used the Cottage Wreaths Bundle which is included in the Gingham Cottage Suite Collection as is the Patterned Paper: Gingham Cottage 12″ X 12″ Designer Series Paper.
For the card base and for stamping I use Basic White 8 1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock and Basic White 8 1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock.
The wreath is stamped in Garden Green (stamped off once) and Soft Suede inks. I chose Daffodil Delight ink for the bow and Soft Sueda again for the sentiment.
Next I embellished the card with three of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

The second card uses one of my favorite bundles for Christmas: Merriest Moments Photopolymer Stamp Set.
The poinsettias are stamped in Poppy Parade and for the centers I used Petal Pink.
Next I cut a panel from Basic White cardstock and embossed it with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.
I used the Gingham Cottage DSP again, this time in Smoky Slate, cut at an angle.
For the sentiment I stamped “Joy” from the Handmade Wishes stamp set in Garden Green onto Parakeet Party Cardstock and then cut the tag with the Mini Pocket Envelope dies.
To finish off the card I used the white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack and a few Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins.

Card Base: 4×4
Embossed Panel: 3.75×3.75
DSP: 2.5×3.75 (cut on the diagonal
For the last card I went with several angled layers using Basic White Cardstock, Snowflake Specialty Vellum and patterned paper from the Santa Express 12×12 DSP.
The Basic White piece is embossed with the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders.
Next I stamped the outline and sentiments in Versamark, added silver embossing powder. and set it with a heat tool. The sentiment is a combination of “Love” from the Handmade Wishes stamp set and “From our home to yours” from the Sweet Gingerbread stamp set.
I finished off the card with Silver Threaded Twine and Iridescent Rhinestones.
To adhere the label over the twine, double the dimensionals on the back to create enough height between the label and the twine.
