As promised, here's the second installment of Christmas greeting cards using the White Pines collection from CTMH. Supplies used are listed here.
Edges of some cards and pieces of cardstock used are inked with complimentary color to add interest.
On this card, use Colonial White Cardstock –3” Shape<z> Page 31 to create background shape. White Pines complements and red enamel gems create the scene.
This card uses Fern Cardstock –2 ¾ “ Shape <Elegant> page 46 and Colonial White Cardstock – 2 ½ ” Shape<Elegant> Page 46, with White Pines complements and red enamel gems. Add a twine bow to one of the packages or along the side for more pizzazz!
Most of the shapes on this card are cut by hand, except the ornament - Colonial White Cardstock –1 ¾ Shape <0> page 10. Adhere the Fern green twine with liquid glass.
The simplicity of this card is accented by the sentiment and White Pines complement flowers. For the stamp, use Colonial White Cardstock – 2” Shape<6> Page 6.
Note - All cuts use Real Dial size and are from the new Artistry cartridge.
The final three cards will be presented in the next post. If you have any questions about this project, please contact me. Best wishes for pleasant holidays.
Blessings,
Hebrews 10:24

This card uses a piece of Fern Cardstock cut at 1 ¼ ” (Real Dial) Shape <c> Page 33 of Artistry handbook.
Colonial White Cardstock is used on this card, Real Dial cut a 5” Shape <Christmas> Page 48 of Artistry handbook. For added interest, emboss the cut with your favorite embossing folder. This would also work with any of the large, solid color backgrounds.
