Wisemen Ornament Card

Inspiration

Shaped cards are really "in" right now, and they are really easy with the Spellbinders' dies. I think a shaped card would be fun for Christmas - fun to send and fun to receive! This card uses the Wisemen Ornament set from the Classic Christmas Collection from Heartfelt Creations. It is made to coordinate perfectly with the 2011 Heirloom Ornament Shapeabilites dies, so this card is a snap!

Instructions

BASE CARD

Cut the base card from red card stock measuring 5 1/2" x 11", score at 5 1/2", and fold. Place the largest Ornament die just above the fold, and cut/emboss to create an ornament-shaped card.Cut/emboss a single layer ornament of the same size using the designer paper. Trim along the embossed line to create an ornament just slightly smaller than the card. Mount this on the face of the card.

IMAGE

Stamp the wisemen ornament on blue paper using Versarmark ink, and heat emboss with silver embossing powder. Cut out the image using the matching ornament die, and mount on the front of the card using foam squares.

BOW

Finish by tying a large bow. Punch two small holes in the card front above the blue ornament, and use a little bit of fine wire to attach the bow to the front of the card.
