Each Monday, I think about what I can create to serve you, my crafting community. It wouldn’t be lying to say sometimes I loose sleep over it! But I count it as a blessing to bring you inspiration, so I took the opportunity to figure out a Christmas Card that would also have an ornament to hang on the tree because I know that things may be tight for some folks right now, and this pretty card + gift is a thoughtful way to share some light this season with friends and neighbors without breaking the bank.
The card is very simple: A 8.5″ x 5.5″ Wild Wheat card base with a 3.5″ x 4.75″ Pool Party stamped layer on top of a 3.75″ x 5″ Real Red layer.
Thick white card stock is needed for the banner at the top, but as I explained in the video tutorial (below), you can also cut out two banners and glue them together for more stability. I only added dimensionals to the left side, so you can slide the ornament off the right side. Remember to slide the card into the envelope fold-first, so when the recipient pulls it out, the ornament comes with it!
Embossing the angel image makes coloring with Stampin’ Blends (or watercolors) really easy to stay inside the lines, because they are raised! Plus, the gold makes it look LUXE! I left the angel’s dress white and just added Wink of Stella for a subtle shimmer.
Watch the video tutorial, then I would appreciate you ordering any of the supplies you need from my Stampin’ Store, if this inspired you to make some!
