The Thank You card I've created for my customers this month is called a 'Gate Fold' card.    I hope it inspires you to use your beautiful DSP and create a pile of cards this season.  The DSP is cut in 3x4 pieces - you can create 12 cards from 1 sheet of DSP  - What?!?! - yes really - it is a super convenient way to maximize your DSP.  Personally I love the big border of cardstock, it creates a bold focal image and shows how perfectly the DSP and cardstock coordinates, and it's a cost effective way to create multiple cards.  Enjoy!  

Oh and I almost forgot Cardstock is on sale starting tomorrow - woohoo - the Seasonal Sale starts Nov. 16th -18th  Click here to shop the sale   

And here's the card details:

4 x 5 1/4 Basic White CS for inside layer

Welcoming Woods stamp set

Painted Christmas stamp set

Real Red Sheer Ribbon

Eden Dies

Real Red Ink

Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Assembly & Trix:

*  Score the Evening Evergreen card base at 3 and 8 1/2 

*  Adhere the DSP to the Soft Succulent layer with Multipurpose Liquid glue (glue)

*  Adhere one side of Soft Succulent & DSP layer to the card base.

*  Die cut the label from the Eden Dies using Basic White CS then stamp the greeting using Real Red ink.  ***Trix, usually I recommend stamping first and then die cutting, however with a longer greeting it's important to cut first and then stamp to line up the greeting perfectly.  Measure 1st by laying your stamp on the die to see if it fits.  

*  Adhere the Real Red Sheer Ribbon to the back of the label with glue and set aside to dry, then adhere to card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

*  Embellish with Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

*  Decorate the inside of the card with the Holly berries from the Painted Christmas stamp set using Real Red ink.
