I like to dap some color\/glitter on the top of each branch so you have a little sparkle but you can see the original color on the rest of the branches. Set the flower aside and let it dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used off-white cardstock as my base and cut a piece of light brownish cardstock to size to use as my second layer. I always cut the second layer a little bit smaller than my base so I get a nice border when attaching it to the base later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a candy cane stamp and some white stamp ink, I stamped a simple pattern on my second layer and added a piece of ribbon to it, which I attached with double-sided adhesive tape.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a smaller piece of the off-white cardstock I stamped &#8222;Frohe Weihnachten&#8220; (which means &#8222;Merry christmas&#8220; in german) in a light brown ink and to give it an interesting shape I cut off all four corners of my banner. On the back I used some double-sided adhesive foam rubber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a dap of glue &#8211; I used bookbinding glue &#8211; to secure your flower piece to your card, hold it in place and adhere your banner over the cut end of your flower piece.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put some glue (again I&#8217;m using bookbinding glue but you can also use the double-sided adhesive tape you used for the ribbon or a glue stick) on the back of your second layer and adhere it onto your base card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your card is ready to make someone else happy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Ema-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey guys, let&#8217;s make an easy christmas card with some dried flowers and a piece of ribbon.
