Trimming and Assembly
Trim the paper according to the detailed cutting instructions. Sort the cut pieces by size.
Score and fold the card bases.
Deal out the pieces for the card bases ensuring all four colors are represented on each card. Be sure to watch Tricia's handy video for helpful tips along the way.
Add texture to each 2-3/8x4-3/4" panels with an embossing folder. (Mine is from Gina K Designs).
The artwork on the folder coordinates perfectly with the Boughs of Joy print!
Place the smallest Gold sentiment panel into an open stamping platform, positioning the pine cone image and greeting as desired.
Close the lid on the platform to pick up the stamps. Open the lid and apply Earth CS® Hybrid Ink.
Close the lid to transfer the ink to the paper. Repeat these steps with the three remaining sentiment panels.
Gather a few of the scraps left over from the trimming process to embellish the interior of each card.
Cut a swallowtail or "banner" shape at the bottom of each strip with scissors.
Adhere the pairing inside each card. Add a stamped sentiment.
Nestle a set of Gold Holly Leaves above the sentiment. Repeat for the remaining three cards.
