Holiday French Horn




Hi friends, it Marla and I have another Christmas card to share.  This card features the Holiday French Horn and Rustic Wreath dies.  Dimension and layers make interesting and beautifully texture cards.  I liked how both of these dies had foliage, which makes tucking in layers easy peasy.  Let me walk you through the card process.

  • Die cut all of the pieces using white card stock.  Then die cut the french horn using metallic card stock.  I chose to use flat gold metallic card stock.
  • Color your images using a blending brush and ink.  
  • Add detail to the poinsettia layers and foliage with a Copic marker.
  • Cut two pieces of white card stock to 4" x 5.25 and 3.25" x 4.75"
  • Stamp the 4" x 5.25" card stock with an image of your choice.  I used a sheet music stamp.  Ink the stamp and spritz with water to get a slightly distorted image.
  • Dry emboss the smaller cardstock for texture.  I used an older wood grain embossing folder.
  • Adhere the sheet music layer to an A2 top folding card base.
  • Add foam tape to the back of the dry embossed layer and adhere at an angle on top of the stamped layer.
  • Assemble the pinecones, poinsettias and bird.  Add foam square behind the wing of the bird.
  • Assemble the die cut pieces to the card front.
  • Stamp the sentiment and use a fishtail die to cut out the sentiment
  • Add foam tape to the back of the sentiment strip and adhere to the card front.
