Merriest Tag "JOY" Pines Cards
It's a no-stamp card with a bold focal point…and it's so fun & easy to make! Many of the items I've used on these cards are retiring soon and are now ON SALE, so that is even better!
Background Basics—I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" background from the Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper, now ON SALE for 30% off! It's adhered to an Emerald Envy card base. Next, I created a foundation for the letters by adhering a 4" x 2-1/2" piece of Whisper White card stock onto a 4" x 2-5/8" Early Espresso mat and adhering both to the card front.
Pine Tag "O"—I die-cut the Cherry Cobbler pine tree tag with the soon-to-retire Merry Tags Framelits, now ON SALE for 50% off! It's popped up over a Silver Foil ornament shape, also die-cut from the same framelits. I adhered the tag with SNAIL onto the center of that panel.
Large Letters—I die-cut the "J" and "Y" with the Large Letters Framelits, also in Cherry Cobbler and adhered them to either side of the tag with SNAIL.
Finishing Touch—I tied a bow using the Emerald Envy ribbon from the retiring 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon Combo Pack, now ON SALE for 50% off! It's adhered with a Glue Dot.
Seriously…how easy is that! I'll be making lots of this quick & cute card!
Inside Décor—I wrapped some Presents & Pinecones Washi Tape around the bottom of a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White card stock to decorate the inside. That washi tape is now ON SALE for 30% off!
Two Cool—My plan was to create a card with the opposite colors for my second version, but I didn't have anymore of the Cherry Cobbler Silky Taffeta on hand. Instead, I used some of the 1/4" Natural Trim Silver Ribbon, but it just doesn't have the same punch.
I changed up the inside Holly Jolly Greetings phrase a little bit, too.
