3 Sheets of 8.5″ x 11″ white card stock
1 Sheet of 8.5″ x 11″ light gray card stock
1 Sheet of 8.5″ x 11″ navy blue card stock
1 Sheet of 8.5″ x 11″ powder blue card stock

So to make this easy... take a premade card base (or make your own.) At the bottom back side at about 1/2"  fold up for a pouch/ pocket to hold the gift card. Close the front of the card and carefully cut off the excess to accommodate where our fold was. 

Now I am using blue print paper so I have texture and stamping the deer.

I then die cut out the deer.

I now took a few other prints from kit to make the lighter background base. I die cut out the tree using the paper with some glitter on it. Using another accent die I cut the corner accent piece. From the kit I also hand cut and matted the sentiment image title. With this kit you have so many possibilities to mix and match chose your own pieces that jump out at you.

I tied a small bow using ribbon from the kit.

On this photo I now sharing my proposed layout of the pieces.

Now removing them I start gluing from the bottom moving forward to the front.

I decided to stamp the sentiment.... in the open space.

The card is all back together again.. and I added some of the gem stones from the kit.

In the close ups you can see the details better and the papers too.

Using print blue paper and then stamping it give some cool looking texture to the deer.

Adding layers of matting to the image/ words add great depth and colours.

Inside the panel I glued the side ends closed to hold the pocket firm to secure the gift card.

I also added a stamped sentiment to inside the card  and added a matted border for trim.

Wishing you a Holly Jolly Christmas using Christmas Kit fully loaded

Hi Bev here. So how is your weekend going? I am sharing the details on this card  that I used just the tree die with small amounts of kit paper and some cardstock. I am still using the Christmas Kit fully loaded from Creative Escape Papercrafting. Each card is different and I have been doing individual blog posts sharing the how to info so you can make them too. Be sure to visit daily when I do another one.

For this card I thought it would be fun to play with the Kaisercraft die and some of the fun print papers from this collection. Add some depth and dimension with matting and the pop of colour.

To start this card I pulled together all the pieces starting with the fabulous fun  prints... I chose the sentiment Wishing you a Holly Jolly Christmas and also the great black n white print. Using the general size of the card base I estimated the part of the print that would fit my needs the best.

Following the above photo you can see the fussy cut section of the print and the sentiment blog. I inked the edges on the print and for the Sentiment I matted a few times to add more colour.

Using just the tree die cut I used black cardstock for a contrasting colour to showcase the tree image.

In this section you can see the matted border. All the inking and gold glitter cardstock looked perfect with the muted papers I chose. The tree was placed in the background and I am pleased with the finished card design.

This is one of the simpler cards but it looks awesome.... not every card has to be difficult.
