First Holiday Card!

Is it too early to post for Christmas? This is the first card I made from the up coming Mini catalogue (you can place an order as of September 1!). There are way too many cool items in this mini. I will be posting some sneaks from the mini this week. This card is a unique size: 3-1/4" x 6-1/2". This card will fit into the Small Open end Envelopes from SU Item #107286. The SU Exclusive Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder is way too cool!

Inside card:

Note the Oval message also acts as a closure. The embossed flap slips under the message.
Tip: Apply dimensional to the right and left side, the left side dimensional is to be positioned about 1/2" from the edge to allow the flap to slip under. It is best to fold the flap down then position the message in top to ensure closure is secure.

Components to make card:
(1) 3-1/4" x 11" Real Red CS
(1) 2-1/2" x 3" Old Olive CS
(1) 3-3/4" x 3" Whisper White CS

Score the Real Red CS at 4-1/2", this section will be embossed using the SU Exclusive Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder.

Position the 4-1/2" section into the embossing folder as shown:

Have ready: (2) Old Olive strips and single knot ties, (1) White stripe and single knot tie. Apply Sticky tape to the strips of grosgrain ribbon. Remove backing on sticky tape and position the strips of grosgrain on the flap. Apply mini glue dots for the grosgrain knots.
Tip: It is best to place the grosgrain strips a min of 1/4" above the card edge. Trim cleanly with scissors.
Tip: Sticky tape is applied to the grosgrain ribbon to prevent fraying
