Designer Series paper makes a card easy and fast but there is also a fun way to add depth and dimension with various embossing folders.

When you emboss paper there are two sides – the embossed side and the de-bossed side creating two separate looks.

Measurement:
BASE: Cherry Cobbler 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Layer: Basic White CS 4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP: 3″ x 6″
Distressed Gold Specialty paper: 1/4″ x 12″
Scrap of Basic White CS – for the sentiment

Cut the 6″ x 6″ DSP in half.

Run the 3″ pieces through the Wintry 3D embossing folder. The piece on the left is de-bossed and the piece on the right is embossed.
Each gives a slightly different look.
Stamp the inside sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink on the middle upper space of the inside layer. Adhere the Distressed Gold Specialty paper to the lower edge of the inside paper. Adhere the inside layer to the base card.
Adhere the 3″ piece to the center of the card front. Tuck the 1/4″ gold piece to the right side of the 3″ piece. I adhered the left-over piece to the left side of the 3″ piece but I changed my mind and adhered it over the sentiment piece at the end.
Die cut the largest Stylish Shapes banner and stamp the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set.
Adhere the Brushed Metallic Dots to the DSP.
