Carols of Christmas Card 4

By: Jen27 Comments

Dimensions:

Whisper White CS – 4 1/2 x 11 (score at 5 1/2 for card base), 4 x 4, 2 7/8″ stitched circle

Garden Green CS – 4 x 4

Basic Black CS – 4 1/8 x 4 1/8, 3″ scalloped circle

Cherry Cobbler CS – Scrap for flower insets

OH MY GOODNESS!!  I saved my fav card for last!!  I just LOVE the flower cut outs on each of the corners that surround the sentiment.  They are created using the corner flower die in the Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies.  It was SUPER simple to do too.  I just lined up the corner die on two of the corners and cut.  Then ran it through again on the other two corners.  I used the same die with Cherry Cobbler CS and added back in the flowers, leaving the leaves and dots the Garden Green background that is hidden under the Whisper White CS panel.  I feel like it makes the sentiment from the Carols of Christmas stamp set, just pop!  The Garden Green Stitched Satin Ribbon tied around the bottom of the card brings out the hint of Garden Green on the top.  It all just flows from top to bottom!!  I added large and medium pearls from the Pearls Basic Jewels to the center of each flower, which completed the flowers and the card in general.  LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!  LOL

I wanted to let you guys know that I am traveling to Alaska (WOW!!) to train for a part time job, to work at the airport here in Omaha.  I am SUPER excited to be given this opportunity and can’t wait to get started!  I haven’t worked outside of the home since my daughter was born 23 years ago.  With little education and NO experience working at an airport, I couldn’t pass this opportunity!  The BEST part about it, is that I will still be able to continue to work my Stampin’ Up! business as much as I am now!!  The hours are PERFECT as they are in the afternoon, which will give me my mornings and evenings free to continue creating videos, hosting my monthly card classes AND grow my team.  It’s a win win in my books!!

SO having said that… my training will be 9 days with 2 days of travel.  While I won’t be able to create any new videos, I WILL be posting here to my website/blog, FB page and FB group.  I may even pop into my FB page and do a FB live video!!  I will also be checking my email, blog and YouTube channel for any comments or questions you may have.  I promise, I won’t abandon you while I’m away!!  As soon as I get home, I will be anxious to start creating with the NEW products that will be released in the Holiday Catalog on September 1st.  WHEW!!!  That was a LOT!  Let’s get on to the good stuff…today’s video tutorial!!

    I made this card. It turned out beautifully. I didn’t have too much trouble lining up the flowers. And, thanks to watching the video, I immediately stuck them onto my glue dots roll, and had no trouble finding them among the mess!! LOL

      Thank you Lois!! I officially start on Thursday. Kind of nervous, yet excited at the same time. I’m entering into a whole new world. Should be fun though!

    Another beautiful card. Where are you heading to in Alaska? I spent 7 years of my childhood there and still consider it home. You have to catch a tour plane and check out the glaciers

      Hey Fran! Thank you SO much!! I was in Anchorage. Unfortunately, I didn’t have ANY time for sightseeing. It sure was beautiful though! Would love to go back in the near future with my hubby to see more than just the mountains from my hotel.
