Dad Christmas card

 Hello and welcome to my blog, today I would like to share with you a lovely Christmas card made for my Dad.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

• Crafting happiness challenge #69
  
• Pammie's inky pinkies challenge #
  
• Stamps and fun challenge male #376
  
• Get festive challenge #96
  

Here is my card, all details and products used can be found below:

• To start with I have taken my gate fold base card and cut two panels for each side in blue card stock, I have then run them through the die cutting machine with and embossing folder and added a little gilding wax to highlight the embossing and attached to the front with wet glue.
• I have then created a couple more mats and layers to sit on the front of these panels with some Christmas patterned paper.
• The next thing I have done is create two more panels with some more Christmas patterned card stock and glued these to each side of the panels in a horizontal format.
• I have also die cut some baubles with the same patterned papers and attached to the front with foam pads along with my sentiment, made on a word document then printed, cut and inked around the edge
• To decorate this inside of the card I have again used the same patterned papers and a fancy nesting die and attached some ribbon, I used wet glue to adhere to the inside of the card.
• I have also used a pre-cut die cut Christmas sentiment.
