With Christmas around the corner, I created a card you can make in a short period of time, if you have the supplies in my Product List below.
Winter Meadow Designer Paper is gorgeous, and today I combined it with four different die sets, and no ink. First, I used the largest Radiating Stitches Die to cut a tree pattern of Winter Meadow DSP. This was glued to a Pretty Peacock card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Next, I used the second largest Radiating Stitches Die to cut a textured pattern of Winter Meadow DSP.
Here’s the secret: before gluing the layer in the center of the card front, I used Joy Of Noel Dies to cut “NOEL.” This allowed me to place the letters, cut from More Dazzle Specialty Paper, in the die-cut holes, straight and even.

To add some detail, I used a Forever Forest Die to cut three small trees from Winter Meadow DSP. After backing the trees with cardstock for thickness, I glued them in place.
I also cut a bow, using a Country Wreaths Die, and attached it in the corner.

I couldn’t resist making two more cards, using the same supplies!

Thank you for visiting! Have a great day!





















I love your tip about cutting out the Noel from the layer for placing the letters straight. You could also cut them out of a scrap of thick cardstock to use as a template any time. It would be a time and frustration saver.
Thank you, Sue! I like your idea also!
I love each of the cards you made here. The “secret” Is a wonderful idea. Thank you!
Thank you, Lynn! I’m so glad you found my “secret” helpful.
