HD Christmas Classics - Robin and Friends #5


Compared to most of my most recent cards, this card is really simple.  But it's still nice!  This makes the 5th card from the Robin & Friends topper set from Hunkydory Christmas Classics Luxury Card Collection.

MATERIALS:
  • Hunkydory Christmas Classics Luxury Card Collection - Robin and Friends topper set
  • Hunkydory's Essential Book of Christmas Sentiments 2016
  • White card blank & additional small scrap of white card stock
  • Ribbon from my stash
  • Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight
METHOD:
  1. Card Front - Cut piece of patterned card stock with border so that it is just smaller than the front of the card base.  Wrap 1/8" wide gold-edged white ribbon around border and glue in place - then glue whole piece to card front.  Add ribbon bow.  Sentiment (from Essentials book) is edged with silver so I colored it with a gold Sharpie so it would blend better with the gold foiled card.  I matted it on white card stock that was die cut with a die from Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight - then attached to card front with foam tape.
  2. Inside - remaining piece of border decorated card stock is glued to the bottom of the page.  Small focal is glued to that (from die cut sheet).  Finally a tag is added (from Essentials book - edged with Gold Sharpie as before) - after a small piece of ribbon was attached.

Cheryl: I like the card front of this card because the side border color wise reinforces the focal and then the sentiment tag colors wise reinforces the background scenery of the focal. Nice coordination!
