Hello Crafty Friends!
Today, I'm sharing a festive card that LOOKS & FEELS like a warm knit Christmas sweater! These are so quick and easy to make so if you are a last-minute kind of guy or gal (like me), you could easily crank these babies out in no time flat.

Supplies Used
Creative Station (Xyron)
Big Shot Foldaway (Sizzix)
Eileen Hull 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder- Sweater (Sizzix)
Eileen Hull Wreath & Snowflake Dies (Sizzix)
Black Craft Foam (Creatology)
White Cardstock (Accent)
Silver Glitter Cardstock (Recollections)
Paper Trimmer
Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon
I started a 3-1/2"x 8-1/2" card base made from 110 lb white cardstock. Next, I ran a sheet of Red Velvet Paper through my Xyron Creative Station. Then cut it down to 3-3/8" x 8-3/8".
Before continue I made sure to run all my materials for this card through my Xyron Creative Station. This enables me to create quicker by adding adhesive directly behind all the materials so that once everything is cut all I need to do is peel and stick it all together.
Then I inserted the Red Velvet Paper strip into my Sizzix Big Shot Foldaway using the Eileen Hull 3D Sweater Embossing Folder. This folder is a standard A2 size. So after embossing one end I embossed it a second time on the other end, carefully lining the embossing up to look like a continuous pattern.
Keep in mind that this is also a 3D embossing folder so the sandwich for your machine will differ.
