Evergreen Elegance Bay-Window Christmas Card

This is a bay-window card and I learned how to make it from a video from Kelly Acheson. I used different cardstock, stamps, ink, etc. to make my bay-window card. They are not that hard to make and I like the fact that it shows both sides of the Designer Series Paper because sometimes you like both sides just as much and it is hard to decide. My instructions are as follows:

Stamp Sets: Evergreen Elegance, Sweet Little Stockings, Peaceful Deer

Cardstock: Evening Evergreen, Basic White, Sahara Sand, Soft Succulent, Tidings of Christmas DSP

Ink: Evening Evergreen

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Stockings Dies, Hippo and Friends Dies, Give It a Whirl Dies, Stampin’ Mini Dimensionals, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Bone Folder, and Multipurpose Liquid Glue

1. The base of the card is Evening Evergreen cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2”, 5-7/8”, 9-1/8”, and 10-5/8”.

2. Cut the DSP for the front at ¼” x 4”, 1-1/2” x 4, 1-1/4” x 4” and ¼” x 4”. Adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3. For the inside, cut the DSP at ¼” x 4”, 1-1/4” x 4”, 1-1/2” x 4”, and 1-1/4” x 4” and ¼” x 4” in that order. DSP can be glued down with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and use reversed sides of the DSP for the best look. Cut Basic White cardstock at 3” x 4” for the inside.

4. Ink up the tree from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set with Evening Evergreen ink and stamp on Soft Succulent cardstock. Die-cut with the Hippo and Friends label die. Add three Dimensionals down the center and attach to the very front.

5. Ink up the sentiment “Merry Christmas” from the Peaceful Deer stamp set with Evening Evergreen ink on Soft Succulent cardstock. Die-cut it out with the Give It a Whirl label die. Use the Bone Folder to break up the fibers and add Mini Dimensionals below the tree in front.

6. Ink up the stocking with Evening Evergreen ink on Soft Succulent cardstock. Die-cut with the Stockings Die. Die-cut the holly and berries with the DSP and Sahara Sand cardstock and adhere to the stocking. Put the stocking on the right side of the inside so it will hold the bay window.

7. Ink up the small trees from Evergreen Elegance with first and second generations on the 3” x 4” Basic White cardstock.

8. Ink up the sentiment “It’s Friends Like You…..” with Evening Evergreen ink and stamp on the Basic White. Adhere to the inside with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
