Instructions:
Card size: 4 3/4 X 6”.
Start with white card stock 6 X 9 1/2" and score at 4 3/4" and
7 3/8”, make 2 mountain folds and use a bone folder to get a good crease. Cut
another piece of white card stock 4 3/4 X 6”.
On the bottom of card base (4 3/4 X 6” half) and the top of the extra
piece, die cut with the plain edge of the Petite Pockets Die making sure the
size is the same as the decorative Petite Pocket die you will use. Glue the bottom of the extra piece to the top
2 3/8” of the card base together (make sure you do not get glue on the other
1/2 of the card base top). Cut 4
Decorative Petite Pocket die, layer 2 together and the other 2 together separately
making 1 pair of die cuts (you can do more layers if you want more of a 3D
look). Cut 2 Eyelet Circles and 2
decorative paper large circles. Stamp
one of the decorative paper circles with sentiment. Glue circles to Eyelet circles.
Stamp, die cut and sponge color on blossoms and leaves
using Rose Madder and Deep Purple on blossom and Fern green on leaves. Stamp butterfly with Deep Purple and color
with pencils. Sponge with Tea Rose and
Deep Purple for Flowers and Leaf Green, Deep Purple and Rea Rose on the leaves.
Form blossoms and leaves in the 3D
shaping Molds, let dry (leaves and flowers are misted with water before running
through die cutting machine). Cut stamen
from Vellum and add yellow Nuvo to the ends.
Layer blossoms together and glue.
Glue stamen in the center and add Prills. Glue decorative paper to outside top (also
having been cut with plain edge Petite Pocket to match card stock). And inside card. Glue circles to outside and inside then
Petite Pocket die cuts. Add flowers
around top (outside card) left side of circle and flowers to the circle at the
bottom of inside. This will also serve
as the stop for your easel so make sure 2 sides are even. Set bottom of Outside/front of card in front
of the flower “stop”. Card is
finished. It will be a bit bulky for
mailing but will fold fairly flat for an envelope.

This is the Christmas season and a time for generous giving and doing for others less fortunate than us. When I think about that I think of these verses in the New Testament.
James 1:27
27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
Matthew 25:34-40

Matthew 25:34-40
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,[f] you were doing it to me!’
Colossians 3:23-24
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
