ID: MC Sept/18 Xmas Vignette - ECD Eat, Drink & Be, Merry - Merry Christmas card
size: 6"w x 4.5"H (card flat)

Created: September 6, 2018
Modified:

I used to make a lot of 3D artwork, but I've gotten to a point that I have absolutely no more room for them, so I have stopped making them... but I do love a lot of the things Suzanne is coming out with... so I've altered this Silhouette file to create this card that lays flat for mailing. BIG GRIN.

I'm using an A Way With Words dies  "Eat, Drink & Be Merry" 5pce set from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design HERE

And I'm using a background stamp from Quietfire Design ("Merry Christmas Background")

 And I'm using a Silhouette file from Suzanne Cannon available on Silhouette onLine store. Click image to purchase.

I opened the Silhouette file in my Sure Cuts A Lot software (SCAL). Ungrouped the main card structure, removed the treble clef  and shortened the vertical line openings - shorter than the tabs from the inner layers by about 1/8" on either end. Moved the structure so the top fold of the box was off the mat (not needed...). Cut everything from white cardstock (12 x 12)

Cut some very small slits in the inside 2 layers on the tabs so they will insert into the lines of the card structure and not fall out when handled... Also cut off the bottom flap of the box.

Burnished all the folds. Hit all areas direct to paper with Distress "Tattered Rose" pad. Stamped the Merry Christmas background using the Rose and clear embossed.

Die cut the greenery (Tim's "Holiday Greens") from various green cardstock. Adhered to upper edge of inserts and front piece.

Die cut the ornaments from DoCraft gold mirror cardstock and from white for the solid background. Applied glue all over the background piece and adhered the die cut, then sprinkled with a rose colored glitter. Adhered to inserts with a small piece of salmon toned ribbon. PS: adhered the negative pieces to another die cut backing for another card BIG GRIN.

Assembled and adhered card together.

  

Die cut the "Eat, Drink & Be Merry" from a pinky rose textured cardstock. Adhered to front and insert layers.
