Modern Christmas Arched Card

 Here is another idea that uses just the Modern Christmas DSP! I love this one, as the card itself is an arch shape, one of my favorites!

Measurements:   

• Basic Black: 1/2 sheet
• Modern Christmas DSP (OE): 2 1/2" x 4" (tree image), 3 3/4" x 4 3/4" (fa la la la la); 1/2" x 3 1/4" strip (whatever)
• Gold Foil: 3 3/4" x 5"
• Basic White: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

To Make This Card:

• Fold the Black card base in half, and cut with the largest Everyday Arches die, with the far left edge just falling off the fold. (this allows for less obvious distortion of the arch).
• Die cut the Gold Foil with the 2nd largest Arch Die.
• Die cut the "falalala" DSP with the 3rd largest Arch Die.
• The "tree" pattern is cut with the 6th largest Arch Die.  Any of the tree images will work!
• Adhere these 3 layers together, and add to card front.
• Stamp and mount sentiment, if desired. (I prefer to see the fun trees!)
• On the inside, a White arch cut from the 3rd largest Arch Die.  Add a strip of DSP to the bottom.  Stamp a sentiment in Memento Black.
• Finish the front with small gold pearls.  I used the retired Festive Pearls.

Modern Christmas Book Binder Card

 This DSP just stands alone!  There are tons of ideas out there that just use the paper, rather than the entire bundle, which is very nice, too! I was looking for an elegant, fun card for my Senior Center gals, and decided on this one! The focal point is die cut from the gorgeous DSP, and then the backgrounds are more of the lovely DSP. Add a little embellishment and you're done!

Measurements:   

• Basic Black: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3" square
• Modern Christmas DSP (OE): 4" square (mistletoe), 1" x 4" (stripe), 1/2" x 4" (black stars), tree image
• Gold Foil: 2 1/2"+ square
• Basic White: 4" square (inside)

To Make This Card:

• Score Black base at 4 1/4" - 5 1/2".  Fold into "book binding" fold. Crease well.
• Place Tear n Tape onto wrong side of 1 1/4" binding.  Adhere to card base.
• Adhere DSP to front areas as shown.
• Die cut black square.  Also select image from DSP and die cut square, with image "on point".
• Cut Gold Foil layer with Paper Trimmer.  Layer all these pieces together, then adhere to front of card, "on point" with Dimensionals.
• Add White Layer to the inside, with strip of DSP.
• Finish front with small bow of Black/Gold Twine, and scattered Iridescent Faceted Gems.

Clean & Simple Nests of Winter

 I was looking for ideas using just the Nests of Winter DSP that is still in the Annual Catalog!  I had used this DSP on another card for my Senior gals, and they loved it! I found this one that cuts one of the DSP sheets into circles, mounts them on Black, and then arranges them on a card.  I love how it turned out!

Measurements:   

• Gray Granite 1/2 sheet, 5/8" strip (sentiment)
• Basic Black: 3 1/8" x 5 1/4", 2 1/8" strip (for 3 circles), 3/4" strip (sentiment)
• Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
• Nests of Winter DSP: 2 7/8" x 5", 1/2" x 5 1/4" strip(birch trees), 3 selected birds

To Make This Card:

• Adhere DSP piece to corresponding Black Layer.  Add to front of folded Gray Granite card base.
• Select 3 "birds" from the sheet with the smaller birds.  Die cut with only Layering Circles. (The birds fit better with these dies. However, no stitching).
• Mount onto a black circle cut from the next size Layering Circle. 
• Add circles to front of card with Dimensionals.  Adhere the top and bottom, as shown, and then add the center one.  It will overlap the other 2 just a bit.
• Stamp sentiment onto strip of Gray Granite, trim to size, and mount onto black strip.
• Finish inside with White layer and strip of DSP.
• Finish the front with retired Black Dots.
