Christmas Joy

I created this simple but elegant card using the White Pines B&T Paper Packet.  White Pines features beautiful double sided patterns perfect for the Christmas Holiday.  I hope you like this is a quick and easy card.

The sentiment on the front of the card is the "This Is Christmas" stamp, available for only $2.95, you can find this stamp along with other M-Size stamps on page 31 of the Holiday Expressions Catalog.

Here's a close-up of the embossed sentiment:

For the front border of the card, I used the zip strip from the blue patterned paper, along with the opposite side (chevron) and some silver foil tape and red glitter tape to create the layers.

Here are the tools, materials and dimensions used to create this card.
