Merry Christmas card - Christmas Card a Day!

This is a fun card and you can make three card bases from one piece of 12 x 12 cardstock! Cut a piece of topiary cardstock 4" by 12" and distress with topiary ink on both sides. Score at the 4", 6", and 8" marks with your dry embossing tool

Fold down the top square and put glue on the 1st rectangle scored area. Press the top square to the 1st rectangle tightly.

Cut patterned paper (I used Believe) 3 3/4" by 3 3/4" two times, one for top square of the card, one for the bottom. Distress with topiary ink and attach centered on the card.

Cut a piece of topiary cardstock 3" by 3" and some holiday red cardstock, 2 3/4" by 2 3/4" and distress. Cut a piece of white daisy cardstock 2 1/2" by 2 1/2" and distress. Using the Holiday Cheer stamp set, stamp one ornament in topiary ink, one in holiday red. Attach all pieces together and center on card.

Cut a piece of topiary cardstock 3" by 1 1/2" and a piece of holiday cardstock 2 3/4" by 1 1/4" and distress both. Attach together then add pop dots to the back of the two pieces and attach to bottom of card about 1/2" up from bottom.

Cut a piece of white daisy cardstock 2 1/2" by 1" and distress. Stamp Merry Christmas in topiary ink and glue piece to bottom of card on top of the popped up piece. You must pop up the piece to make the card stand.

Add teeny tiny sparkles to decorate. If you like any of the products shown here today, click on the links! See you tomorrow!
