Tutorial: Making a Card from Canyonlands with Dana Fleckenstein

Many of you guys are probably right in the middle of your holiday card production, am I right? Apart from greeting cards, it's nice to have some Christmas thank you's at hand to write during or right after the holidays. Today, I am sharing a quick sample card I made with the Canyonlands kit.

Step 1 - Cut and fold a square card base (width: 4.25 inch).

Step 2 - Pick two patterns from the Canyonlands paper pad. Cut one 4x4 inch piece from one of them and a stripe (1.5 inch wide) from the other paper. You'll also need a 1.5 wide strip of vellum.

Step 3 - Decide on the placement of the strips on the larger mat and temporarily adhere them with post it tape so they stay in place. Sew the papers down on the top edge. Trim the paper strips down to line up with the top edge.

Step 4 - Use a die-cut snowflake and enamel dot to embellish the paper strips.

Step 5 - Pick a sentiment from the 'Winter Thank You' stamp set and heat emboss it on dark blue paper with silver Zing embossing powder.

Step 6 - Mount the card front on the card base and adhere the sentiment strip under the snowflake.
