STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL: MERRY MOMENTS COLLECTION CHRISTMAS CARD, S4-1468, E3D-148, BD-0965, S5-562, S5-131 The largest die in the A2 Matting Basics A Card Creator Die Set was cut from a panel of plaid patterned paper included in the Merry Moments Paper Pad using the Platinum SIX Machine with Universal Plate System with the following plates (bottom to top): A, B, C, patterned paper, C. STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL: MERRY MOMENTS COLLECTION CHRISTMAS CARD, S4-1468, E3D-148, BD-0965, S5-562, S5-131 Next, the fourth largest die in the Essential Stylish Ovals Etched Die Set was taped to a panel of Pomegranate cardstock with the Best Ever Craft Tape. The fifth largest die in the same die set was taped to a panel of Neenah 80lb. Solar White cardstock, and they were die-cut. STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL: MERRY MOMENTS COLLECTION CHRISTMAS CARD, S4-1468, E3D-148, BD-0965, S5-562, S5-131 The white oval was embossed with the Christmas Cameos 3D Embossing Folder using the following plates (bottom to top): A, embossing folder, D. STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL: MERRY MOMENTS COLLECTION CHRISTMAS CARD, S4-1468, E3D-148, BD-0965, S5-562, S5-131 The dies in the Gifting Bows Etched Die Set were taped to Pomegranate, Poppy, and Seaside cardstock, along with the pink and green cardstock in the Merry Moments Card Kit. The matte metallic cardstock is from the Gold Treasured Cardstock Assorted Pack. I like to die-cut several of each, so I have plenty to work with when I’m figuring out placement for my design.

STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL: MERRY MOMENTS COLLECTION CHRISTMAS CARD, S4-1468, E3D-148, BD-0965, S5-562, S5-131 The die-cuts were arranged and adhered to the background, using foam squares on the middle of the bow and some of the flowers.

STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL: MERRY MOMENTS COLLECTION CHRISTMAS CARD, S4-1468, E3D-148, BD-0965, S5-562, S5-131 A white gel pen was used to add some highlights to the ornaments and berries.
