Started with

CARDZ TV STAMPS

"Very Merry"

This card is really pretty easy to make

but is really beautiful

first start with two

of the same images

I used

added some glossy accents and chunky glitter  

Stampin Up Delightful Decorations stamp set & Ornament Punch

this is a retired set but you can

find it on Ebay

next I mounted them back to back

over a piece of gold DCM

Metallic thread

I found this at AC Moore

next to the embroidery floss

next cut a mat an adhere that to your card base

with repositional adhesive

this needs to be a side folding card

make sure this is centered

I did use a some painter's tape to hold the

die down make sure to press the tape on

your clothes first to take some of the tackiness

off the tape

run this through you die cutting machine

save the extra pieces I will show a card

I made with these in an upcoming post

carefully

remove the top mat from the card base

center the ornament in the window

align the top mat over the card base

 the magic of the card is when you

open it the ornament spins back

and forth

On the inside of the card

I used TH tea die ink on a pierced rectangle

there a little space and the top

and at the bottom to

hand write a personal

message

to finish the card

 some diamond stickles

and McGill Pine Branch punch

a button and a bow

"May Peace be your gift at Christmas

and your blessing all year through! "
