Products Used for the Resting Dove Die Cut Christmas Card:

Handmade Christmas card featuring two white die-cut doves from the Simon Says Stamp Resting Dove Pair set, perched on green Pointy Pine Sprigs over a teal card front embossed with the Wispy Pine Needle Frame folder. “Happy Christmas” sentiment heat-embossed using the Tree Plate Greetings stamp and die set, with scattered moonlit Snow Sequins for snow.

How to create the Resting Dove Die Cut Christmas Card:

1 – Create the Card Base:

Start with a top-folding A2-sized white card base. (4-1/4″ x 11″ score and fold at 5-1/2″).

2 – Emboss the Background

Next cut a piece of Audrey Blue cardstock to 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ and emboss it using the Wispy Pine Needle Frame Embossing Folder.  Adhere it to the card front.

3 – Add the Pine Sprigs

Next, die-cut the two branches from Green Apple cardstock using the Pointy Pine Sprigs Dies, and glue them across the lower center of the card.

4 – Assemble the Doves

Then, die cut the pair of doves and lightly ink-blend Dew ink onto the wing tips and tails to add soft contrast and depth.  layer the dove pieces together and attach them to the card with foam squares for dimension.

5 – Heat-emboss the Sentiment

Finally, white heat emboss a greeting from the Tree Plate Greetings Stamp and Die set and add it to the center top of the card.

6 – Finish with Embellishments

Scatter Moonlit Snow Sequins across the card for a subtle snowy sparkle.

    Sandi your card is beautiful !!! I fell in love with the new Resting Dove Pair die as soon as I saw it, seeing your card showed me why. While you made your card as a Christmas card it could also be perfect for a winter wedding or anniversary card. I think I might have met my match as someone that also loves the Audrey Blue cardstock. Stunning card.

    How beautiful! I love the colors you chose and the more simple – not a ton of things going on – and yet elegant results. Thanks for sharing.

    I love your use of the embossing folder for the background, it really sets off the card. I wouldn’t have thought of dimension of the wings. Great inspiration, thank you!
