MEASUREMENTS:

  • Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper: 5 ½ x 4 ¼ (Balmy Blue snowflake)
  • Beary Christmas DSP: Strips for Hershey nuggets 3 x 1 (Night of Navy snowflake)
  • Beary Christmas DSP: Deckled Circle Header 4 ½ x 4 ½ (Night of Navy snowflake)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Cut a piece of the Beary Christmas paper to 5 ½” x 4 ¼” and slip it inside the Clear Envelope.
  2. Cut 6 pieces of designer paper 1” x 3”. Curl the strips using a Bone Folder.  This will help the pieces stay where you place them.
  3. Add Seal + or Tear & Tape down the 3 inch center of the paper. Place the Designer Paper centered on top of the chocolate and wrap ends around to bottom.
  4. Add a sequin or two on the top of each candy using Multipurpose Glue. Allow the sequins to dry and then add the chocolates inside the clear envelope.
  5. Add more sequins inside the envelope creating a shaker treat bag.
  6. Remove the air from the clear envelope and seal it.
  7. Using the 5th die in from the outside of the Deckled Circle dies, cut out a circle. Fold the circle in half and staple each side of the circle to the envelope.
    TIP: So that the staples don’t show, you can add one staple behind where the polar bear will be and the other in the area that will be covered by the tag.
  8. Use Paper Snip Scissors to cut a bear from the Beary Christmas Designer Paper. Add to the header with dimensionals.
  9. Stamp the greeting on a Basic White scrap using Night of Navy. Cut it out using the smallest tag from Tailor Made Tags Dies. When cutting place the end with the hole a little closer to the greeting.
  10. Shorten the cut out tag. Place the die so that the part with the hole is extended above the tag. You’ll be able to feel the die click in to the dots already made.  Keep it into place by taping the die in place, then cut again.   Add a few sequins to the tag and header.
  11. Tie a bow using the silver trim. Add to the tag with a rolled up glue dot.  Add a dimensional to the other end of the tag.

Just a Note Forever Forest

Posted on November 22, 2023 by Josee

This card is easy and fun to make! Can you see the score marks and the glimmer on the trees?! Read the directions below to see how to make this!

DIMENSIONS

  • Garden Green: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″,  scored at 4 1/4″
  • Shaded Spruce: 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Basic White: 3 3/4″ x 5″  and  7/16″ x 2 1/2″

DIRECTIONS

  1. Use your trimmer to score paper 1/4″ increments starting at 1 1/2″ to 3 1/4″. Adhere the Basic White cardstock to the Shaded Spruce cardstock and then to the Garden Green card base.
  2. Cut out 3 sizes of trees using the dies, 1 per each green. (Large Tree = Garden Green, Medium Tree = Granny Apple Green, Small Tree = Shaded Spruce).
    For the Granny Apple Green tree, I added cardstock big enough to cut out the tree to a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet (Dimensional Sheet) before cutting out.
  3. Cut out 2 Basic White Trees (medium and large tree dies).
  4. Squeeze a bit of Wink of Stella on to a clear stamping block (or piece of plastic).
  5. Press the Shaded Spruce ink on to the clear block. Pick up some Wink of Stella Glitter and mix it with the Garden Green ink. Colour some areas of the Basic White tree.
  6. Repeat stamp 5 with Garden Green, then Granny Apple Green until the whole tree is coloured. (Let dry)
  7. Adhere the 2 coloured trees, the Shaded Spruce and the Garden Green using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  8. Add the Granny Apple Green by removing the backing of the Adhesive Sheet.
  9. Stamp the greeting with Shaded Spruce on the right-hand side of the cardstock.
  10. Tape the end of the white Baker’s Twine to the back of the greeting layer and wrap it around 3 times, then place another piece of tape on it to secure it. Loop another piece of the Baker’s Twine through the wrapped Twine and tie in a knot. Add greeting to the card using Dimensionals.
