Today's card is a super easy one yet I had so much fun making NINE of them! Most of the ladies I met at Stamp Camp back in July live in the northern part of the US, so I thought sending them a little 'Warm Christmas Wishes' would be very appropriate.
I started by using the Sizzix, Folk Art Pattern 3D Embossing folder and 5" x 7" panels of green card stock. I also cut the card bases out of heavy cardstock to support the weight of the card. After securing the embossed piece on the front, I used several heavy weight glue dots to attach the sweater securely to the front of the card base. You can see I had to tuck the arms in close - they wanted to stick straight out!
I used different sentiment strips from the Taylored Expressions Simple Sentiments - Christmas set for the cards. For each one, I added a strip of fun foam to the back before attaching to the card. While the card is quite thick and overweight with this 'ugly' sweater, it was okay as I had a few other surprises to go in the package too. The sweater served as great padding!
