Garden Walk Merry Christmas Card. Smart Stampin International Hops. November 2023

 Good Afternoon Everyone.

Today over on Instagram I'm taking part in the Smart Stampin International Hop. A wonderful group of Stampin Up Demonstrators will be sharing creative inspirations on our Christmas theme!

I have used the Garden Walk Suite and this fabulous Poinsettia Paper to create a simple, yet striking Christmas Card.

Measurements

Pretty Peacock Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

1pc - scrap

Poppy Parade Card Stock

2pc - scrap

Garden Walk DSP

1pc - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

-------------------------------------------------------

Take the Pretty Peacock card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base. Add the Basic White piece to the inside.

Place the DSP into your trimmer and cut off 1" from either side (i found that the easiest way for getting the measurements right)

Flip the two 1" over so that you have the simple plainer pattern either side of the floral poinsettia imagery.

Glue all three of these strips onto the card front, butting the joining edges together.

On a scrap of Basic White stamp the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink and cut out using the Modern Oval punch. Also cut two of these shapes in Poppy Parade card. Layer these two pieces up behind the sentiment pieces, making sure you have nice even colour to either side.

Place this centrally towards the bottom of the card front.

Cut a length of the Calypso Coral trim and colour it in using your Pretty Peacock blends. Leave it to dry otherwise you may get some colour transfer. Once dry, tie in a bow and add below the sentiment.

Finally add a few of the blooming pearls around the raised sentiment label.
