Countdown to Christmas 2021 . . . beginning a little late . . . .

Hey, folks!  Here it is December 5, 2021, and I am just now finding the time to begin my Countdown to Christmas!  So for the first few posts, I'm cheating a little and finding online ideas to get this show on the road . . . .

Click on image for closer look. 

Let's start with this beautiful and very easy Z-fold card by Amy Koenders.  Amy started out with Evening Evergreen card stock (11" x 4-1/4", scored at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2") to create the card base.  She then added pieces of Painted Christmas Designer Series paper matted with Cherry Cobbler card stock.  Finally, Amy stamped sentiments from the Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set and leaf and berry images from the Christmas Season stamp set onto white card stock and also matted those pieces with Cherry Cobbler card stock.  For the finishing touch, she attached three Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels around the sentiment on the card front.  The end result is this stunning card.

I hope you enjoy this festive holiday card!
