Thursday’s Double Feature: Painted Christmas Suite Cards

For Day 11 of my 12 Days of Christmas I have a lovely pair of Christmas cards made with elements of the Painted Christmas Suite. I love how well the Painted Christmas DSP works with the images & die cuts in the Christmas Season bundle and the Christmas to Remember bundle. You can watch my Facebook Live Replay of these two cards on my Facebook Page here and on my YouTube channel below.

Start with a Soft Succulent cardstock base. Cut an Early Espresso cs panel & a Painted Christmas cs panel and glue them to the card base.

Die cut Crumb Cake cs pinecone bases & Early Espresso cs pinecone overlays with the Christmas Pinecones Dies. Stamp the fir sprig from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink on Basic White cs and die cut it out with the Seasonal Label dies. Die cut a Basic White cs sentiment label with the Seasonal Label dies and then stamp the sentiment from the Christmas to Remember stamp set in Early Espresso ink. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the sentiment to the bottom right of the card front. Use glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals to build your pinecone & fir sprig cluster around and slightly overlapping the left side of the sentiment label. Tie a small bow with Linen Thread and use glue dots to attach it the card front in the pinecone cluster. Add Garden Gems to the sentiment and card front for extra sparkle.

Don’t forget to add a Basic White cs inside panel to write your message. I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas to Remember stamp set in Early Espresso ink and the fir sprig from the Christmas Season stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink. I also added a strip of DSP to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
