Two Tier Eclipse Technique - One Hour Card Class 070 - OHCC070

Stamps: Christmas Pines.

Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Real Red, White.

Tools: bone folder, purchased envelope, mini dimensionals, Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, glue dots, Silicone Craft Sheet, Real Red baker’s twine.

Such a simple card but very striking!  I followed the video by Suestampfield and created the same Christmas card that she did.

Tape the letters JOY together - lay them so they are touching each other.  Use a ruler to keep the top straight.

Tape the letters JOY on to the center of panel and run through the big shot. 

Remove and save the letters including the center of the letter O.

Stick a post-it note to the back of the white, die cut panel.

Place all the letters back in the negative space of the panel.

Cover Blessings from the Christmas Pines stamp set with scotch tape.

Ink Christmas in Real Red ink.

Remove tape and stamp at the top left corner of the panel.

Stamp 2 branches from the Christmas Pines stamp set with Old Olive ink.

Ink the solid pine cone in Sahara Sand, stamp off and then stamp on to panel. Over stamp with the patterned pine cone.  Repeat for a second pine cone.

Remove the letters and post-it note.  Adhere the white panel on to card front.

Adhere the center of the letter O to the card front – just be sure it matches the branch. 

Die cut 2 more of each letter in red cardstock.  Stack and adhere the letters together using Tombow glue sparingly – this glue allows time to line up the letters.  We don’t need the center of the red letter O.

Add mini dimensionals or Foam Adhesive Strips to the back of the letters.  Add to the card front – just be sure the letter O matches the branch.

Cut 7” of baker’s twine and tie into a bow.  Repeat for a second bow.  Adhere to the branches with a glue dot.

Stamp the pine cone and branch images to the front of an envelope.
