Hey Wild Whisper Fans, Katelyn here! I'm happy to be back on the blog sharing my Don't get your Tinsel in a Tangle Card which features the Christmas Comfort Collection. To create my project, I've used a variety of the papers from the Christmas Comfort Collection, the Ephemera, the Card Pack and the Flair buttons to create my card. You'll want to grab a glass of your favourite Christmas beverage as I will walk you through how to recreate my piece at home.

From the Fa La La paper, you'll need to cute two pieces, one that measures 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" and a second piece that measures 4 3/4" x 4 3/4". Distress the edges of each patterned paper piece.

Sprinkle Pine Needles Embossing Powder overtop of the stenciled images. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Distress the edges of the paper.
