Pretty Peacock card – 2” by ⅜”

From scrap offcuts of Winter Meadow Designer series paper (dsp), I cut a number of strips ¼” or ⅜” wide.

Using the Merriest Trees Dies I die cut the largest tree from the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card. The negative piece was then embossed with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder.

I placed the die cut tree onto the Pretty Peacock panel and used a pencil to lightly draw around the shape. This would give me a guide when adding my strips of dsp.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I added each strip of dsp to the Pretty Peacock layer, trimming off the excess dsp as I went.

The embossed panel was then mounted over the top of the strips on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the retired Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set, was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Pretty Peacock card. I had masked off the bottom of the sentiment prior to inking it up as I only wanted the ‘merry christmas’.

The stamped sentiment was covered with White Embossing Powder and set with my Heat Tool before being added to the card front.

On my desk today is the gorgeous Stars At Night stamp set and Dies and I have used the Dies to make a pretty Chistmas card today.

Colours in this project are:

To recreate the embossed star card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Walk In The Forest dsp – 5⅞” by 1½”
Gold Foil – 5⅞” by ¼”
Starry Sky card – 3¾” by 2⅞”
Scrap Basic White & Gold Foil

I began by gluing the strip of Walk In The Forest dsp to the Thick Basic White card front leaving a tiny gap on the right-hand side by the fold. The strip of Gold Foil was then glued next to the dsp strip.

The largest star, from the Stars At Night Dies was die cut from scrap Basic White card and embossed at the same time with the Hybrid Stars At Night Embossing Folder. Love that we can do this. I spritzed the star with a little Wink of Stella to give it a little shimmer.
