Project Recipe:

Card Basics:
Cardbase (Real Red) 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", folded in half along the long side. Your card will open on the right and the "hinge" will be on the left.Accent Paper: 4" x 2" (Green & white dots -Brights 6"x6" Paper Pack)
Whisper White strip: 4" x 1 1/4"
Silver Glimmer paper: 4" x 1/4"
Focal feature: Whisper White & Silver Glimmer each approx 2" x 2" -
Stamp the mistletoe using Memento ink if you are going to use Blends to color. I used Stazon Jet Black and used my Marvelous Markers.
Punch an accent in the bottom right corner.
-
Stamp the bell on a scrap piece of Whisper White using the same black ink. Color with the same markers.
Use 1 3/8" scallop circle punch.
For accent silver use 1 1/2" circle punch.
-
Layer the pretty paper piece onto your card base at approx 1 to 1 1/4" from the top.
Attach the white stamp piece just below the pretty paper.
Cover the seam between the two papers with the Silver Glimmer strip.
-
Layer the punch white circle over the punch silver Glimmer Paper. Best to use Glue Dots to attach onto the top of the Glimmer Paper.
Use a Stampin' Dimensional to pop the Bell piece up over the top of the three paper layers.
-
Use the corner rounding punch on the Trio Punch.
Use black in to stamp Merry Christmas to the bottom right side of the front piece.
