Hi, welcome to our blog today. Our talented designer, Alicia Barry has made this gorgeous Christmas card, and below, shares a step by step of how she made it.
* * *
Step 1: Gather your materials.
Cut your materials to size as follows:
* Red card: 6.75″x 6.75” (This measurement is an important for Martha Stewart Around the Page punches to be successful).
* Red patterned paper: 5.5″ x 5.5″
* Cream cardstock: 5″ x 5″
* Red cardstock: 5″ x 5″
* Patterned paper image: This will be determined by your choice of paper. If no clear image can be cut to fit, simply use a 4″ x 4″ square of patterned paper
Step 2:
Use a narrow edge Martha Stewart Around the page punch (I used Deco Flowers) on both pieces of red cardstock. Adhere the larger one to the front of your card.
Step 3:
Distress the red patterned paper (optional) and adhere it centrally to the card front.
Step 4:
Layer cream cardstock to the card using foam squares.
Step 5:
Adhere smaller red cardstock to the front of the card.
Step 6:
Adhere your handcut image or patterned square.
Step 7:
Stamp a greeting (or use a rubon) onto a cream cardstock strip. Cut ribbon notches to one end, then adhere with foam squares onto the front of the card on a diagonal.
Step 8:
Take a MHC glitter mini rose. Carefully peel back the outer layer and fold outwards to create a more full flower. Adhere this the the top of the greeting along with a large white Lotus flower. Tuck a tied organza ribbon bow between the two flowers. Add a small white flower to the bottom right of the greeting.
Step 9:
Paint dots of Ranger perfect pearls around the punched border of the card and to accentuate the image.
