Here is a simple but stunning Christmas card made using the Peaceful Boughs stamp set and Beautiful Boughs dies.
To recreate the Peaceful Boughs card you will need:
Thick Whisper White – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left and lower right corner
Gold Foil – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left and lower right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left and lower right corner
Gold Foil – 5½” by ¼”
Scrap Garden Green and Whisper White
I began by pressing my open Pear Pizzazz ink pad onto a clear block, added a drop of glycerine, mixed the ink and the glycerine together with the sponge and sponged it onto the Whisper White panel. The glycerine helps the ink to spread and blend without becoming streaky.

The large pine branch image was then stamped around the panel using Garden Green ink. I added the gold dots using some of the luscious Gold Glitz Delicata ink.

I used the Beautiful Boughs dies to cut out the small detailed pine cone from the centre of the Gold Foil panel – actually I cut out quite a few……….no one will ever know….

The stamped panel was mounted on the the Gold Foil with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the Thick Whisper White card base on Dimensionals. I added the thin strip of Gold Foil to the front.

The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched out with the Tailored Tag Punch. I used the same punch to punch out a Garden Green tag which I cut from left to right lengthways and glued it to the back of the punched sentiment. The sentiment was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I die cut some of the small pine boughs from scrap Whisper White cardstock and tucked them under the sentiment with a little liquid glue. The die cut gold pine cone was then added. I finished the card by adding a trio of Gold Metallic Pearls.
Such a pretty card. I hope you like it.
