HOW TO:
Step 1. Stamp Simple Joys Background Stamp in brown ink onto Kraft cardstock. Center Merry Christmas Die onto white rectangle and cut out.
Step 2. Glue Kraft rectangle onto card base. (White rectangle shown after die-cut for reference).
Step 3. Punch out all of the letters from the Merry Christmas Die you have already cut (3-Kraft, 1-white). Then, stack and glue them together, so that the white letters are on top (this creates "tiles" that are easier to work with).
Step 4. Center the white rectangle onto the Kraft card base, and then insert the outline piece from the Merry Christmas Die. Weigh these down, don't glue.
Step 5. Using this for placement, glue the tiles into place on the card base.
Step 6. Remove the white rectangle and the lettered outline.
Step 7. Set card base aside. Match 1 light green and 1 dark green wreaths, and glue together. You will end up with 13 wreaths total.
Step 8. Arrange the wreaths on the white rectangle. Glue in place. It's ok if parts overlap the edges, we will deal with that in the next step.
Step 9. Turn the cardstock over, and cut away any wreath parts that overhang the edge of the white card.
Step 10. Apply dimensional foam to back of white rectangle, and adhere into position on card base.
Step 12. Add bows and tinsel, and you're done! Merry Christmas!
