Traditional Christmas Design Team for Cardz 4 Guyz #259

Welcome to the C4G #259 theme challenge, which is traditional Christmas. For me, that means reds and greens, Christmas trees, and maybe a plaid blanket thrown in for good measure. Therefore, that’s just what I did for my card.

Here’s my card:

Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Whisper White and Plaid

The Christmas Means More stamp set, available now in the July – December mini-catalog, has four quotes from traditional Christmas movies. I chose the quote from ELF for the front of this card. So, let’s get started!

I used Mossy Meadow cardstock for the base and it measures 5-1/2 inches by 8-1/2 inches. I scored it at 4-1/4 inches to create a landscape tent card.
Next, I trimmed the Cherry Cobbler cardstock mat to 4-1/8 inches by 5-3/8 inches.
Then I trimmed the plaid DSP, from the Plaid Tidings 6 x 6 inch DSP stack, to 4 inches by 5-1/4 inches.
I used a 1 inch by 5-1/4 inches strip of Cherry Cobbler DSP for the banner under the sentiment. To accomodate the linen thread wrapped around this strip, I adhered it to the plaid DSP using dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment on Mossy Meadow cardstock using VersaMark so I could add white embossing powder, which I then heat set. After I cropped the sentiment using a square die from the Stitched Shapes set, I adhered it to the card using a double layer of dimensionals.
The Christmas trees, stamped in Mossy Meadow on white cardstock, come from the Rooted in Nature stamp set. I cropped them out using the coordinating die set. While I had those supplies handy, I also stamped and cropped another double tree and a single tree stamp for the inside.
Time to move on to the inside!

The Inside

Here’s a picture of the inside of the card:

I trimmed the white cardstock to 4 inches by 5-1/4 inches, as always.
The inside sentiment is from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set, and I stamped it in Cherry Cobbler.
Finally, I adhered the Christmas trees in the bottom corners using the multipurpose liquid glue.
I trimmed another piece of the Cherry Cobbler DSP for the envelope flap. Once I had adhered and trimmed the flap, I’d completed this easy-peasy card/envelope set.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

I’d love to hear what you think, and greatly appreciate every comment.

Have a Peachy Day!
