  Christmas Classics Stamp set for an easy Christmas Card 

I used the 2nd and 3rd from the smallest dies (not counting the little label die) 

to cut the border from the piece of gold foil that I used as my second layer.  

Great way to save cardstock, especially foils.

I wanted to create a quick Christmas card and try to use as little supplies as possible, hence, not such a messy craft room.  I accomplished the quick and easy card, and my room ended up messy anyway, oh well!!!

If you notice in the first picture, there is a "R" on the case of the stamp set.  That is because Christmas Classics is retiring on January 3, 2024. 

Recipe:

• The Cherry Cobbler base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.
• The Gold Foil layer is 5 1/4 x 4.  I cut my out frame with this piece. (see picture)
• I cut the opening of the A Walk in the Forest DSP with the 2nd from the smallest of the Countryside Corners Dies. (not counting the little label die)
• I lined up a 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 piece of Basic White under the DSP and stamped my words from Christmas Classics with Cherry Cobbler ink and the little dotted triangles with Shaded Spruce ink.  I adhered this combination to the Gold Foil and added all to the Cherry Cobbler base.
• I added the gold frame with Multipurpose liquid glue.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.
