This card looks complicated but goes together very easily. Start by cutting 2 pieces of cardstock 1 at 4 ¼” x 11” scored at 2 ¾” & 5 ½” and the other at 3 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 2 1/8” x 4 ¼”. Fold each piece of cardstock along the score lines.

Then pick a 2 coordinating Designer Series papers. Cut the first pattern: 1 piece at 4” x 5 ¼” and 2 pieces at 2 ½” x 4”. Adhere to the large piece of cardstock. Cut the second pattern: 1 piece at 3 ¼” x 4” and 2 at 1 7/8” x 3 ¼”. Adhere these to the smaller piece of cardstock.

Fold cardstock along score lines. Adhere the smaller piece of cardstock on top of the larger piece. Tip: Apply adhesive to the right side of the smaller layer and position it on the right side of the larger layer. Apply adhesive to the left side of the small layer then fold card together.

Stamp sentiment for card front on a piece of Basic White 3 1/2″ x 3 3/4″. Use the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a small Basic White panel for the inside and stamp sentiment. Use dimensionals to adhere the font sentiment panel. Adhere small die cut rectangle with liquid glue or your choice of adhesive.

Embellish front sentiment panel with Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels. And there you have it, a beautiful Christmas card sure to delight your friends and family.
