Hi there everyone! This is what I call my "holding hands" card because the holly accent pieces interlock together on the sides and the top and bottom. I have cut six of them and linked them all together to get the background for this fun card. The really fun thing, though, is that you can get an entirely different look from these same dies if you just turn them a quarter of a turn and do the same thing. They interlock that way too! Cards are never boring with Spellbinder dies, are they? I added a piece of the black crochet ribbon top and bottom, which I put over some cream card to help it stand out a bit. For both the top and bottom pieces, I cut one of the accent pieces from the Ironworks set and centred on the ribbon and added a fancy black button. The focal sentiment was stamped on to the round Ironworks die and then mounted atop the picot edge circle which I cut out of black card. I pierced around the edge and matted and layered with coordinating colours to complete the card. Totally easy card for anyone who wants to give it a go! All for now, Sue x

Love the mellow shades of green used in this piece.
You would not really know that this was made using a holly die, which means it has many uses all year round. Love the colour. I liked the green card you made the other day when you changed the green in the demo to the made option it was nice and bright but not too bright, I am sure you know what I mean. Love the ribbon extra.
