Merry Music, Season Like Christmas, Holly, Softly Falling - Christmas Card

Would you believe that it is 60 degrees out today.  Very windy; but, very, very nice!!!  😊😊😊

My share for today is a Christmas Card that a very talented designer from Stampin' Up! created and shared with us in our Demonstrator's Succeed Weekly e-mail.  I feel in love with the card and had to make one of my own with a couple changes.  Let's take a look:

I Love this simple, multi-layer tree from SU's Season of Christmas Stamp Set and can't believe that I only now just inked it up.  It has a couple bumps and bruises though as my kitty cat, Natasha, had to help me stamp it!   I guess she just needed some extra lovin' this morning!

And, now, Natasha's Brother, Boris, is helping me to type up this blog post.  He loves to chase my fingers across the keyboard.  Silly boy!!!

My Card Base is Old Olive Cardstock cut at 41/4" x 11" and scored and folded at 4-1/4" for a top folding card.

I ran the Card Front through my BIG Shot using SU's Holly Embossing Folder.

My First Card Front Panel is Cherry Cobbler Cardstock cut at 3-1/4" x 5-1/4".

My Second Card Front Panel is Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper cut at 3" x 5".

Using SU's Season of Christmas Stamp Set, I stamped the Most Detailed Tree in Old Olive Ink onto the Merry Music Panel.  I then stamped the Least Detailed Tree over the top with Always Artichoke Ink.  Next, I stamped the Tree Trunk Stamp in Early Espresso Ink.  I adhered the Merry Music Panel to my Cherry Cobbler Panel with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

This is another part of the card that I love.  The Designer dry embossed a small piece of Cardstock to put underneath the Sentiment.  What a great idea to use up some scraps.  I've done this before; but, I've actually forgotten to do this anymore.  I embossed my scrap piece of Old Olive Cardstock with SU's Softly Falling Embossing Folder.

I trimmed out a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock to measure 7/8" x 3-1/4".  Using SU's Season of Christmas Stamp Set, I stamped my Sentiment in Memento Black Ink.  I then adhered the Scrap Embossed Panel to the back of my Sentiment Panel and adhered it to my Cherry Cobbler Panel with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

Using SU's Basic Black Baker's Twine, I wrapped the twine around the Cherry Cobbler Panel twice and tied it into a Bow.  

I adhered the Cherry Cobbler Panel to my Card Base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I randomly adhered 3 of SU's Enamel Star Shapes to my Card as shown in the picture above.

That's all I have for today.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.
