Merry Christmas!

Hi Bloggers.

I thought I'd post a Christmas Card today -

As soon as I saw the new Christmas Mini Striplet Dies from Sue Wilson, I just thought that they would look great on a 3 panel card.

For the background, I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Creative Expressions Frosty Swirls Embossing Folder.

I cut just the outside die from the Snowflake Mini Striplet Die Set out of Blue Dusk Card 3 times. I then cut both dies from the set together out of Coconut White Card 3 times and glued the die cut sets together using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue.

I cut a plain die from Sue's Classic Adorned Design Noble Die Set out of Coconut White Card. At the emboss stage, I added the Snowflake Flurry Mask. I inked through the die with Stonewashed Adirondack Dye Ink using a Smoothie. I cut a plain die from Sue's Lavish Accented Design Noble Die Set out of Blue Dusk Card to form a mat.

I cut Sue's Merry Christmas Die out of Blue Dusk Card and added a 3mm White Pearl and a 5mm White Pearl to the Snowflakes.

I tied a bow out of Blue White American Seam Binding. I cut a snowflake out of Blue Dusk Card using Sue's Snowflakes Die Set and added a 5mm White Pearl.

I assembled the card as shown adding some more 5mm White Pearls to the corners and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler.

Thanks for stopping by.

  33. Hello Julia and all.

    I think this is a lovely panel card and love the dies and colour you have used. I think with a change of sentiment it would make a great winter Birthday card also. Like most I love striplet dies and their versatility. I'm getting quite a collection myself. Thanks for sharing.

    Congratulations Beryl Treble.

    Best wishes.

  37. Oooh Julia, this card is lovely. The colours are beautiful and the Noble dies are so versatile. The new Christmas dies are fab. Love your black and white card from yesterday too but I'm not a confident stamper so the die cut sentiments are great for me.
