Wouldn't Peace On Earth Be Amazing? | Stylized Peace Dove | Square Holiday Card

 


Happy Saturday y'all.
Don't you think that "Peace on Earth" would be the best holiday present ever?
I know I wish for this day. 

Today I have a beautiful square holiday card idea that, honestly, can be used for any of the holidays - Christmas, Hanukkah, and even New Year's Day - just by changing the sentiment on the inside of the card.  

  • I stamped the dove and the sentiment from the Stylized Peace Dove set, on white cardstock, with the sentiment stamped between the dove's wings.  Then I used a 4" square die to die-cut the image.  

    Then I stamped just the dove on another piece of white cardstock, fussy cut the dove, added stickles to the wings, and set it aside to dry.
     
  • I made a top-folding, 6" square card base using white cardstock and adhered a piece of blue cardstock to the card front.    
    I also cut another piece, 4.5" x 4.5", which I put to the side to be used in a bit.     
     
    I found paper in my stash that had been embossed with snowflakes - perfect - and I cut a piece, 5.75" square, and adhered it to the blue cardstock. 
    You can also use an embossing folder if you have one.
     
    I adhered the dove/sentiment piece to the 4.5" blue cardstock and then to the center of the snowflake paper on my card front. 
     
  • To finish off the card front -

    I put foam squares on the back of the fussy-cut dove and adhered it to the card front - making the dove look 3D.  

  • I left the inside blank so it can be used for a message on the inside.
