The SU! paper piercing templates make faux stitching so easy and ensure your stitches are even so they were a 'must use' tool for this card. My card base measures 5 3/4" square and was made with Raspberry Ripple CS. I die cut two Window Frame shapes, glued them to a Crumb Cake panel, laid the piercing template over the shapes and pierced around the outside. I used an Early Espresso marker to add my faux stitches. I stamped and die cut three ornaments, pierced and faux stitched hangers and popped the ornaments up. I stamped the sentiment, layered the Crumb Cake panel onto an Early Espresso mat and glued it to the card front. I attached two punched photo corners and completed the card front by adding some bling.
I die cut a Very Vanilla Window Frame shape for inside the card, stamped the sentiment and added more piercing and faux stitching. I stamped and die cut three ornaments for the envelope flap and drew dots with an Early Espresso marker for hangers.
