HCD 705 Holly-Ornament Die
I stamped the larger Ornament on white cardstock with the gluepad and then added silver glitter, set aside and then stamped the smaller ornament that matches on the dp pieces, add glitter and set aside to dry. Main panel, (with the branch stamped) I stamped the branch 2 times to give the look of a tree. I stamped in glue and then added a mixture of 3 different glitters for the tree. Now I ran the ornament with matching die through the diecut machine. Lastly I added bows,buttons and sewing to complete my card!

HCPC 3340 Holly Leaves Precut Set
HCPC 3346 Joyous Noel Precut Set
It is really hard for me to create a CAS (Clean and Simple) card. I love to add dimension but decided this beautiful message should be CAS. The image was stamped with VersaMark ink and silver embossed. It was lined with a piece of silver card stock. A frame was punched with a Martha Stewart punch and also backed with silver card stock. A Spellbinder “Floral Accent” was cut out and added to the top. On the inside, the beautiful verse from the Joyous Noel Precut set was silver embossed.
