Today’s Christmas card is a combination of designer paper and die sets. You can see all of my supplies in the Product List below. I began by cutting the wreath from Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper with a Natural Prints Die. This gives the wreath a wonderful variation in color, don’t you think?

Christmas Wreath

To add texture to the background, I used a Candy Cane Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, 4 ” X 5 1/4″. I glued this to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, and I love the way the die-cut covers the entire card front.

After gluing the wreath in place, I fussy cut three pinecones from Painted Christmas Designer Paper, attaching two with glue and one with a Dimensional.

The sentiment, “from our home to yours,” is from the Leaves Of Holly Stamp Set. I stamped it in Real Red Ink, used a Sending Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals on an angle to match the Candy Cane die-cut.

The wreath hanger is Real Red Cardstock, cut with a Warm Welcome Die. This is an early release set that will continue to be available in our 2023 January-June Mini Catalog.

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
