Embossed vellum adds a subtle background texture to this merry fox and penguin Christmas card. 1) Cut a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of Balmy Blue cardstock. 2) Next cut a piece of Vellum cardstock to 4" x 4-1/2". Then emboss the Vellum with the Merry Melody embossing folder.. 3) Also cut two pieces of Basic Black cardstock: 3-1/8" square, and 1" x 5-1/2". 4) Emboss the long black strip with the Merry Melody embossing folder. 5) Cut a 3" square piece of Penguin Playmates paper and glue it to the black cardstock square. 6) Stamp the greeting from Penguin Place on a scrap of Basic White cardstock with Balmy Blue ink. 7) Die cut a scrap of Balmy Blue cardstock with the small Stitched So Sweetly die. Then trim the sentiment and glue it to the die cut. Assembly: 1) Attach the Vellum in the center of the card base with glue dots in the center. These will be hidden by the black cardstock layer which is adhered next. 2) After attaching the black strip, tilt the Penguin Playmates square and adhere it in the center of the Vellum. 3) Pop the sentiment up with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. 4) Embellish with a few rhinestones to add a bit of sparkle to your merry little Christmas card! #inkshimmerandshine #penguinplaymates #christmascards #merrymelody #penguinplace
