Three Kings Christmas card
You don’t need to limit your Christmas card supplies to Christmas themed papers. This pretty paper from the Simply Elegant paper pack is a perfect match for the Three Kings card I wanted to make.
Card Base: Cut Basic Gray 8 ½ X 11 paper in half widthwise. You now have two pieces 8 ½ X 5 ½ . Fold one of the pieces in half lengthwise for your card front. The card front now measures 4 ¼ X 5 ½.
Card Mat: Cut Basic White 4 X 5 ¼ .
Card Front: Cut print paper from Simply Elegant paper pack 4 ¼ X 5 ½. Use the third largest die in the Stitched Rectangles dies to cut out the center of the card front.
Use the Wise Men Tidings to cut the Three Kings from gold foil.
Lay the die cut card front over your white card mat to determine placement for your sentiment. Stamp sentiment from Great Tidings with Basic Gray ink so it is at bottom of opening, see card for placement.
Use foam adhesive strips to attach the die cut card front to the stamped card mat. Attach this piece to your Basic Gray card base.
Attach the 3 die cut kings above the stamped sentiment within the open window.
That’s it; you have finished your card front. For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Basic White 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp a sentiment or write a note before attaching this piece inside your card.
