When you think of Christmas, what colors come to mind?!? For me I think of red and green a lot but also navy with gold or silver. Today, I’m going to give you some inspiration with green & gold!!!
I love this card design because it uses up all of those leftover scraps of Designer Paper that you just can’t make yourself toss in the trash! Also, it uses different prints so you don’t have to worry about running out of one design in order to make this card!
Simply adhere 10 strips of Green & Gold Designer Paper measuring 1/2″ x 3-3/4″ to the Garden Green Cardstock (4” x 5 ¼”). You could start in the middle and then work your way out and just wing it. You could also try starting on the left and right, working your way to the middle. Simply overlap that center strip to make up for any spacing issues. I also added my strips a little up and a little down to give it a messy look. Add this to a Very Vanilla card base.
For the focal point, die cut Very Vanilla Cardstock with the greenery image of your choice from the Golden Greenery Dies. Die cut scrap pieces of Garden Green and Soft Sea Foam Cardstock with the Greetings of the Season Dies. Stamp Soft Sea Foam label with greeting of your choice in Pecan Pie Ink. Loop Cream Woven Ribbon through the label holes. Using Vanilla Baker’s Twine, tie a knot around the Cream Woven Ribbon to secure. Add Very Vanilla greenery to the card front with a few Mini Glue Dots, but also allowing it move around a bit so it looks more 3D. Then add the labels to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. These dimensionals will also secure the greenery piece down.
You can watch all of this in action on my Online Card Class video and even get more inspiration for ways to use the Green & Gold Suite!!! Want all of the dimensions and color photos, check out my Etsy store!
Happy Stampin’
