Gift of Christmas card

 Gift of Christmas is one of my favorite Christmas sets. I just love the swirl design and dove. The dove always reminds me of the Peace we receive from Jesus who's birthday is celebrated on Christmas Day.


This card's base is Sahara Sand that matches the Mocha Morning black flocked designer series paper that is used on this card. I LOVE Mocha Morning. If you haven't seen it in person, you are really missing out as it is absolutely gorgeous!!  I also stamped the swirl in Basic Black on the base card.

The Gift of Christmas was stamped in Versamark and embossed in gold on Brushed Gold cardstock which gives it an elegance. An additional dove was embossed, cut out and popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. On the right edge is a strip of brushed gold that one edge was scalloped with the Scallop Edge border punch. White Taffeta ribbon was stretched across and a bow was made with the Fork Technique.

A tag was stamped and embossed with gold and punched with the large oval punch and added in the lower corner. The three fake brads were made and added in the top left. I love the fake brads because they don't cost extra in postage to mail.
