Today’s card is a CASE of a card I designed in September, which means “copy and share everything,” or “copy and selectively edit.” So, I CASED my self, and there is a link to the original card below.

I wanted to simplify the original by eliminating fussy cutting, and ended up making other changes as well. I began with a Thick Basic White card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″), embossing the card front with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder. If you haven’t heard before, the music is Joy To The World, and very appropriate for Christmas cards.

Leaves Of Holly

Next, I used an Eden Die to cut Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper, 2″ X 5 1/2″. I lined the die up as close to the floral edge as possible when running it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Then, I glued the die-cut piece to the card front.

Now, instead of fussy cutting, I used a Holly Berry Die to cut the label from Basic White Cardstock. I stamped “Christmas Wishes,” from the Leaves Of Holly Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen Ink, and glued the label in place, leaving the leaves free. 

The last step was stamping the berries in Real Red Ink, using their die for cutting, and attaching with Dimensionals. I used the Stamparatus for placing the sentiment, as well as insuring the berries were dark red.
