One sheet wonders are always so much fun and this one is no exception – make your own background paper and make 6 total cards from one 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of cardstock plus cardstock for the bases and the layering!

Base: (5) 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ pieces of Pear Pizzazz
scored at 4 1/4″
(1) 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Pear Pizzazz
scored at 5 1/2″
Layers: (1) full sheet of 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of
Basic White CS
(6) sheets of Merry Merlot 4″ x 5 1/4″

Score the Basic White full sheet of cardstock at 4 3/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side then score at 1/4″ from the opposite side of the 8 1/2″ side. Turn the paper to the 11″ side with the 4 3/4 band as the lower bottom section and score from the middle line through the 4 3/4″ side at 3 1/2″, 7″ and 10 1/2″. Then score the 3 1/2″ section at 4 3/4″ you will have three small sections with 5 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ sections. see template below!

Using Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow, Merry Merlot, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede ink with the various foliage from the Christmas Season stamp set – Stamp around the edges of the score lines.

Start with the base of the holly leaves in Pear Pizzazz.

Using Mossy Meadow ink shade the holly leaves with the inside piece stamped at the base of the holly leaves.

Using the Mossy Meadow again stamp the pine boughs in between the holly leaves around the scored lines.

Stamp in Merry Merlot the holly berrys at the base of the holly leaves stamps around the scored lines.

Using the Merry Merlot again fill in the white space around the score lines with the small dotted stamp.

In the corners of the sections stamp the base of the smaller pine cone in Crumb Cake.

Using Soft Suede, stamp the accent stamp for the smaller pinecone on the Crumb Cake pine cone images.

Stamp sentiments in Merry Merlot using the limited time only Framed and Festive from the pre-release Fitted Florets Collection. I LOVE the sentiments in this stamp set – Get it while it is still around 0 current hostess code to order from my is FA3VX7JQ.

Cut off the 1/4″ scored section (this will be the only waste!)

Cut these three sections at the 3 1/2″, 7″ and 10 1/2″ score lines creating three 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ sections

Fold all your Pear Pizzazz card bases in half and adhere the 4 3/4″ sections to Merry Merlot layers (for one I used the Scalloped Contours die for the matte. The rest I cut the Merry Merlot to a 1/8″ border and saved the scraps for the Falala card.
