Hi Bloggers.
Another Christmas Card today folks -
This card features the new Spellbinders Holly Frame 5 x 7 Card Creator Die Set.
I started by cutting the largest die in the set out of Rich Plum Card. I added a Spellbinders 5 x 7 Matting Basics B Die to the centre to make the frame.
I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders 5 x 7 Matting Basics B Die Set out of Milk Card and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Frosty Swirls Embossing Folder. I edged it with a little Plum Archival.
I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Peace Joy Love Clear Stamp Set onto Milk Card using Plum Archival. I cut it out using Spellbinders 5 x 7 Matting Basics B and cut another die from the same set out of Rich Plum Card. I trimmed down some Cream Pearl Corners ro make them a little smaller and added them to the sentiment panel.
Using the dinky dies in the Holly Frame Die Set, I cut some little poinsettias out of Rich Plum and Vintage Gold Card, shaped them and added a 3mm Cream Pearl.
Using the Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia Die Set (still a favourite), I made a larger flower and added a 5mm Cream Pearl. I tied a knot in a piece of Cream Tulle, trimmed it a little and added it to the back of the flower.
I made a couple of Stick Pins using Cream Pins, Cream Pearls, Bead Spacers - one with a Frosted Amethyst Teardrop Bead and one with an Amethyst Teardrop Bead all stuck together with Glossy Accents.
I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler with a Precision Probe on a Piercing Mat.
All highlighted products are in stock now on my website.
Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteHello Julia.
ReplyDeleteI think this is lovely and such a great colour. I'm thinking the Holly Frame die set may have to go on the wish list, the little poinsettias are delightful. Thanks for sharing.
