Todays project is the second part to Wednesday's project. I separated it into two parts so that the posts would not be so long. This is my favorite part, the cards, tags!!

This was so out of my box this year, I don't usually take on large projects.  From the feedback so far I am glad I did.  So let's begin!!

3. Next cut the designer series paper for the third layer 5" x 3 5/8"
4. Next cut the top layer 4 1/8 x 2 3/4"
5. Next cut the ribbon strip 1/2" x 4 1/2" and the run through paper crimper (now it should shrink to 1/2 x 4 1/4)
6. Next I sponged the edges of the Whisper White with Always Artichoke.
7. Then I stamped using the Bird stamp from Beautiful Season in the middle of the card stock.
8. Next using Stampin UP Markers and Aqua painter I colored the bird, leaves, berries and stems. (I chose to switch colors of my birds one in Soft Suede and Early Espresso and the other in Pacific Point and Marina Mist).
9. I stamped Merry Christmas using Petite Pairs stamp set and then punched it out using the Decorative Label punch.
10. I colored the berries in Cherry Cobbler and then added Dazzling Details in Cherry Cobbler to make them sparkle.
11. Next I assembled the pieces and adhered to my card front. Adding the crimped paper ribbon for texture. For the inside I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock about 5" x 4" and run it through the Big Shot. Then I stamped a Holiday message from the Beautiful Season stamp set in Early Espresso.
12. I stamped the envelopes with the leaves using Always Artichoke.
