To create this card, cut a piece of white cardstock 8 1/2" wide x 5 1/2" high. Dry emboss with a polkadot stencil if desired to get the raised dot effect. Fold the card in towards the middle and overlap slightly. Adhere the seam going down the middle and also adhere the bottom shut to create a pocket. Next, use a round punch to punch a notch at the top. Cut a strip of the Amanda paper around the design in the paper about 4 inches wide and adhere horizontally. Next, add a piece of material or ribbon tied in a knot, along with a piece of twine and a Christmas sticker from the Christmas Cardstock Stickers. Add green glitter to a chipboard tree from the Glitter Christmas chipboard (it comes white). If you want to spray it with a sealant to prevent the glitter from coming off which I did here, try RoyalCoat Decoupage Paper Sealer. Let dry, then add it to your card with a glue dot. Lastly, apply a "Tis the Season" rub on from the Christmas Transfers. You can insert a 4x6" holiday photo and/or a holiday letter into the pocket!
Thanks,
Danielle
