Having a "Merry Little Christmas" in July!

Hi everyone,

It's Tina with an Easel Card I created to share with you, plus a little tutorial.

Cut a card base using the largest Scalloped Rectangle Nesting die. To do this fold cardstock in half and diecut, leaving an edge attached.

Fold the top edge back as shown.

Cut an extra single Scalloped Rectangle from Core'dinations cardstock.

Apply adhesive to the top part of the fold.

Attach Scalloped Rectangle to folded piece as shown.

I've used a doily die with Core-dinations Glitter Silk as the basis for this card.

I used Cappuccino from the Momento collection but the new release Moulin Rouge, Splendor, and Memories from "The Treasure" collection are just as gorgeous. Attach the doily diecut to the front of the card.

Cut Core'dinations gold Glitter Silk cardstock using Christmas Lace Ornamental die.

Cut two Fancy Christmas Flourishes from green Core'dinations cardstock.

Cut birds (Birds & Branch Intricutz die) from red cardstock, and branch from brown cardstock. Attach as shown and highlight the leaves with green Glitzn'Glamour. I attached one of the leaves in reverse so I had a mirror image effect.

Cut a strip of white cardstock using Momento Chandeliers, Adhere using Couture Creations 3D Foam Mini Dots, embellish with Gemstones and stamp a sentiment.
