instructions:
Size of card is half a sheet of 8 1/2 by 11 paper folded in half.
For lattice texture, folded paper in half long wise and cut then ran thru Big Shot with texture on one end of paper and then placed it on the other end and ran it thru a second time.
You can make exact measurements, I spaced them as I liked it and then worked around that using the bottom eyelet first.
1. You can fit 6 trees on one sheet of old olive paper. Stamp, poor silver emboss poweder over wet ink, tap off excess and heat to set, cut out the square leaving room around the tree.
2. Cut stripes of white paper wide enough to use eyelet lace punch and still have room to stamp seasons greetings on it. (about 8 out of one page) Punch one edge of each strip (do not cut to size yet).
3. Cut white paper in half and use Square Lattice Texture plate on one end and run it through the Big Shot, then place the plate on the other half of the paper and run it through a second time. (do not cut to size for your card yet.)
4. Cut the old olive paper with the christmas tree to make a nice square with space around the tree and bottom for presents. Now you can determine I size for the white lattice texture square to show underneath the gren paper - Cut it to size.
5. Now you can lay the white lattice paper on the red card and place a scallop edge underneath to get a length to cut it so it aligns evenly, cut 2 for the card.
6. Stamp in Real Red ink (brighter than cherry cobbler ink- it popped more) "Seasons Greetings" for the bottom strip. Use tape to glue that bottom strip down first.
7. Align the white texture paper with the scallop and place the top one in its place. Now you can use tape to glue the textured scare and top scallop edge.
8. Tape the green card on and then start building your presents from scrap pieces of textured paper and scraps for the ribbon look on the package or add a pearl or rhinestone.
