Winner of the October Die Release Blog Launch / Believe In The Magic

Hello crafters!  For today's card, I cut the Holly Floating Frame die out of dark green card and backed it with a piece of white card. I cut red berries and added them to the background.   I used the Double Stitched Rectangles to make a white frame to go around the background.  I added it with mounting foam and attached it.  Next I stamped the Santa from the Santa Stamp set on to a piece of white card.  I coloured the image with markers and added some highlights with a white pencil.  I used White Fluffy Stuff on his hat pom pom and heated it to make it fluff up.  I cut the image out by hand then added mounting foam to the back. I used the Double Stitched Squares to make a smaller white frame. I added a piece of white card to the back of it then attached the stamped Santa inside the frame and added it to the background with mounting foam.  I stamped the holly with berries from the stamp set four times, coloured them and cut them out by hand and glued them to the corners of the smaller frame.  I cut the sentiment out from the Festive Wordie sheets and added it below the stamped Santa with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x 8 1/2"  in size.  


The winner of the October Die Release Blog Launch drawing is.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Crafty Vonnie!!!
