My Last Christmas Card for 2019

Hello all,

It's crunch time. Miraculously I got my 2 Christmas boxes, set for two different provinces, out in the mail this week. I did, however, discover a forgotten present on the wrapping table this morning. What to do? It's artisanal fudge and is just a stocking stuffer. It's not as though they know it evens exists. What am I even thinking? Of course, I'll pop it in the mail. *sigh*

Since we're all up to our armpits, I selected a SUPER easy card. It comes from the Brightly Gleaming Suite. (Suites are amazing because just about everything you need is right there. No decisions about which paper matches and which ribbon to use. Don't get me wrong, I love me some complicated cards using several different stamp sets, etc, but now is the time for efficiency.) Like my previous post, it too was featured in my Christmas Card Buffet. Since it's an all-you-can-make buffet, the designs and assembly have to be fairly straightforward.

Start with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Night of Navy Cardstock, scored in the middle at the 4 1/4" mark, plus a 3/4" x 3 3/4" scrap. You'll also need some Very Vanilla Cardstock for the ornaments and the oval "window." Trim a piece of the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP to 5" x 3 3/4". Cut a piece of the 1/2" Classic Weave Ribbon to 5".

On scraps of Very Vanilla, stamp one of the ornaments, from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set with Night of Navy Classic Stampin' Pad and the other with Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin' Pad. Punch them both out with the Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack. With your cut & emboss machine, cut out your largest oval from the Stitches Shapes Dies.

For assembly, attach the Night of Navy scrap to the front of the card, you can used your Snail for this. Place your ribbon over it and with regular cello tape, tape it to down on the back of the DSP. Attach the Very Vanilla oval with your Snail. Put the ornaments on with Stampin' Dimensionals. (Tip: If you want them to overlap, they way mine do don't put a Dimensional under the overlapping spot of the small ornament.) With you Multipurpose Liquid Glue, attach the card front to the card. That was easy!
