Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Create the Card Base & Layers
Start with a Pebbled Path cardstock base (5-1/2″ X 8-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″)—a stunning deep neutral that pairs beautifully with the gold accents. Layer a piece of Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP (4″ X 5-1/4″) on top, centering it for a clean, polished look.
2. Prepare the Label
Using the Greeting of the Season dies, cut a stitched label from Basic Black cardstock. This dark base makes the gold embossing truly pop!
3. Add the Heat Embossing
Stamp the “Wishing You a Merry Christmas” sentiment onto the label using Versamark Ink. Sprinkle Gold Embossing Powder over the stamped image, tap off the excess, and heat set with a Heat Tool for a luxurious metallic finish.
*Tip – since these words are all seperate in the stamp set, I laid them out on the label in the position I wanted, then I place a clear block on top of them so they were all aligned on one block and easy to stamp at once. This allows me to make multiples of this card quickly and easily.
For extra sophistication, use a speckled texture stamp from the Layering Leaves Stamp Set to add gold-embossed details to the edges of the label.
4. Add the Finishing Touches
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the label off the background, adding depth to your design.
Tie a bow with Basic Beige Bordered Ribbon and attach it to the top of the label.
Embellish with Antique Pearls for subtle texture and shine.
Adhere a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside for a clean space to write.
