This is the last Christmas card I made in 2020 and it's for my hubby Owen. I made way more Christmas cards than I needed so I have lots left in the stash all ready for next year. Here's the card and envelope together.
I used a 6" x 6" kraft card base with matching envelope. The SU! 'Poinsettia Place' DSP pack has some lovely papers that are perfect for masculine cards. I cut a square of woodgrain paper and matted that onto layers of Soft Suede and Garden Green CS. I die cut the berry wreath from Soft Suede CS and the leafy wreath from Garden Green CS and glued the two die cuts in place. I stamped the partridge in Soft Suede ink, die cut and popped him up. I inked the pears with Crushed Curry ink and applied some Cherry Cobbler ink to the stamps with a sponge dauber to add some extra colour and dimension. The pears are also popped up. I made a 'Merry Christmas' sign, added some linen thread, attached the sign with a metallic green brad and popped it up.
Here's the inside of the card. After stamping that lovely sentiment I added a strip of patterned paper, drew a line with a Soft Suede marker and glued the stamped and die cut partridge in place.
More of that pine bough and cones patterned paper went on the envelope flap to finish.
