The purpose of this Facebook Live was to demonstrate how you can take one sheet of Basic White and create two entirely different cards in one stamping. I used the Painted Christmas Suite to make these two cards. One card is more on the simple stamping side and the other leans forward the more advanced. I think they both are gorgeous with these rich colors and these stamped images.

Christmas Season cards

I started out with a piece of 5 1/2″ x 8″ Basic White Cardstock. I found the center and marked it with a pencil. I stamped up and down the center of the cardstock. I used Crumb Cake and Soft Suede for the pine cones and Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent for the greenery. I used Merry Merlot for the berries and Pool Party to add accent dots.

Once I had my stamping done, I cut it down the center. I cut one piece down to 3 3/4″ x 5″ and used this one for the simple stamping type card. I stamped my sentiment using Evening Evergreen then cut the sentiment out. I adhered it to a layer of Evening Evergreen then onto a Soft Succulent card base. I accented it with Holiday Rhinestones. 

 

For the card below, I left the measurements at 4″ x 5 1/4″. I embossed it using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. I die cut pinecones using Crumb Cake and Early Espresso cardstock. I used the largest die in the set and cut a piece of Evening Evergreen. I then cut off small leaf pieces and decorated the card. I used a label from the die kit to cut out my sentiment. I popped the sentiment up on dimensionals then decorated the card using the pinecones, leaves and the gold leaf embellishments. I think it turned out so beautifully!
