Template Merry Christmas Word Panel
Step One
Back your panel with black card by using DSST to adhere it onto a pice of black card leaving a small margin on two sides, then using a paper trimmer to cut it to the right size (see pictures below for guide).
Adhere the panel onto black card
Trim the black card to size
2. Gently tear two panels of card. Firstly your green piece (approx 16cm x 9cm before tearing). Hold the piece of card in one hand, and with the other hand tear off the edge, pulling upwards (as per picture) to leave a mulitcoloured tear line. Turn the card around and tear off the other side in the same way. Finished width should be approximately between 6cm to 7cm in diameter. Do the same wth a red piece of card (approx 16cm x 6cm before tearing). The finished width should be approximately 3.5cm and 4.5cm in diameter.
Step Two
3. Use DSST to adhere the red torn card onto the green torn card (see picture below), lining up one edge of the two pieces carefully. Then use DSST to adhere these onto the base card, again lining up one edge carefully.
Step Three
4. Use a paper trimmer to remove excess torn card from the edge (see picture below).
Step Four
5. Use DSST to adhere the Merry Christmas card panel to the front of the card.
Step Five
6. Punch out six small circles for the berries (I used a normal paper punch, circle size aprox 0.5cm). Give them 3-dimensions by turning them over, placing them on a foam or cork mat and rubbing a paper embosser on them in a circular motion.
Step Six
7. Punch out four Holly leaves.
Step Seven
8. Glue the Holly leaves and berries onto the card.
