Handmade Friendship Card

This past week, I took time to finish my holiday cards and get my home ready for the holidays. This is always a fun time of year for me. It feels good to be caught up with everything on my list. I’m looking forward to sharing the holidays with my family and friends.

Today’s card is on its way to a special friend who gave me an opportunity to attend a weekend crop, and host card making classes at the event. It’s in January, so I’ll be able to have fun with some of the new products coming out on January 5th. Yay!

Today’s Card Pieces And Parts

I cut a Basic White card base 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored it at 5 1/2″.
The Gingham Cottage DSP layer is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and covers the card front.
The die cut Basic White center layer is 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″.
I used one of the Framed Florets oval dies to die cut the center of this layer. It’s attached to the center of the card front.
I die cut two oval frames, glued them together and attached the frame around the die cut oval.
The Evening Evergreen and Basic White die cut leaf sprays are attached to the oval frame with glue.
I stamped the sentiment with Evening Evergreen ink onto a Basic White 2 1/2″ x 7/8″ strip of cardstock.
The silver Glimmer Paper strip is 2″ x 1/2″. It’s glued under the sentiment strip.
I used a small circle and a small heart punch to punch the embellishments.
