I love how some of the stamps in Framed and Festive stamp set are from Christmas carols! Today's Christmas card project uses the 'tis the season to be jolly and falala, which are both part of Deck the Halls.
I used 'tis the season to be jolly as my main focal greeting and stamped it on a stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies with Cherry Cobbler ink. I then fussy cut holly leaves, berry sprigs, and leaves from the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper to highlight the greeting further.
I stamped falala with Versamark clear watermark ink to create a subtle background pattern across the card front. I didn't want the connection between the two greetings to be so obvious that it was too busy looking.
The White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon embellishment was created by folding the ribbon into an S-shape on the back of the circle die cut. I chose the white organdy ribbon because it is sheer and does not detract from the fussy cut leaves and berries. The ribbon also adds an extra bit of sparkle almost reminiscent of snowflakes, enhancing the wintry feel of this card.
Inside of the card I stamped Merry Christmas with Cherry Cobbler ink and added a narrow strip of the birch patterned paper horizontally along the bottom of the Inside Mat, leaving plenty of room to write a special message to your loved ones!
