This is the Christmas stepper card I made for Jan and Alan using the gorgeous SU! Peaceful Wishes set. For me, this set is right up there with Lovely as a Tree in being a set that is just classic, timeless, versatile and never to be parted with! I used a 6" x 6" stepper card and remembered what a struggle it was to get the last one I made into the envelope so I cut a tad off the side! I covered the front and back panels with Three Bugs in a Rug patterned papers. I added a Riding Hood Red strip at the top that I die cut with my Sizzix Brackets die and I tied Very Vanilla ribbon around. For the stamped panel, I inked the pine bough with Wild Wasabi ink, stamped that randomly onto the Very Vanilla CS, some full strength and some stamped off and I added red berries and the sentiment. I stamped the pine cones on a separate piece of Vanilla CS, inking in Ginger ink, stamping off once and then rock and rolling in Early Espresso ink. I cut each pine cone out, added Dazzling Diamonds and popped them up. I used a ticket corner punch on the Vanilla panel, edged it with Riding Hood Red ink and popped it up on the Wasabi layer and added red metal nailheads. The Wasabi mat is layered onto a Riding Hood Red mat.
I glued a Vanilla panel to the back, inked the edges and added a strip of patterned paper and a sentiment square. The red square was cut with a Lacy Square Nestie die. I used markers and a blender pen to colour in the holly.
I punched patterned paper holly for the envelope and added red nailhead berries. Lastly, I stamped and punched the dotty frame from the Four Frames set.
