A Holly Girl Christmas Card

Today, my Holly Girl Christmas card features a NEW Amazing Paper Grace die set, Holly Jolly Christmas.  Love this set because it's so versatile!  I used all but the "Merry Christmas" die.

I chose the girl image from Authentique Vintage Christmas Collection.  I cut it with the smallest rectangle die in the set.  It's bordered with a frame cut from light green and layered over red cardstock. It's popped up slightly with Thin 3D Foam Squares. The holly frame was cut from the same paper.  It's layered over cream cardstock and then on red cardstock on a 5 x 7 inch card.  I added tiny holly pieces layered over the holly in the frame and accented with red dots for berries.  

I made a triple loop bow from cream seam binding and accented it with a pearl and gold paper fastener plus 3 tiny holly leaves. Two Adhesive Dots hold it in place.

I used E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser to assemble the card. 

Thank you so much for visiting!

Happy Day!  Here's a True Friend Blessings Card made with beautiful dies from Amazing Paper Grace.  Love the detailed swirly background on this die from S5-364 Corner Cotillion! It includes the 2 flowers, a leaf, oval, edge die and the swirly background.  I've used the oval from S5-365 Sweetheart Swirl for the verse.  It's a perfect fit!

The die set S5-364 Corner Cotillion is part of the Card Creator line from Spellbinders, A2 card size.  My card measures 4.75 x 6 inches.  I used the edge die, design swirl die and the oval die to cut the gray part. It's fastened to cornflower blue mat cut just a little bigger for a narrow reveal at the edge.  The pieces are fastened together using E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser which has a narrow adhesive strip. Both are fastened to a white card base.

The verse oval is cut with oval from S5-365 Sweetheart Swirl.  I like how it coordinates with the oval from Corner Cotillion!  I stamped the verse with Versafine Clair Morning Mist which is a gray ink. The stamp is from Penny Black.  The oval is popped up slightly with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.  

I cut the flowers and leaves from white cardstock.  They are colored with Distress Oxide inks.  The flower centers are filled with Nuvo Crystal Drops "Buttermilk" and sprinkled with glitter when it was wet.  Flowers are fastened with Adhesive Dots Medium and leaves are kept a bit dimensional with 3D Foam Squares – White Mix. I added a bow of seam binding below the flowers held in place with Adhesive Dots Medium.
