May Your Days Be Merry & Bright
Hello there my crafty friends! I started this card by cutting a frame using the Double Stitched Squares. I cut a thin white frame and attached a piece of white card to it with mounting foam. I added the frame to the middle of a piece of white card. Using the Yuletide Welcome die set, I cut a red door and added a green wreath with a red bow to it. I cut two topiary trees and added them to black gloss pots. I used the pine spray to add a scalloped spray across the top of the frame. I added red poinsettias to each of the join areas. I cut the sled in red and propped it up against the frame. I cut the May Your Days Be Merry & Bright sentiment out of both red and black card. I shadowed the red die cut with the black one and then glued it to a white shadow backing piece. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh I do like this sample, it is a great way of using up our scrapes of coloured card pieces to make the little additions, fabulous card, thank you for sharing.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue and all that visit today. A very lovely traditional Christmas card. And the sentiment is just right for the card. I have finally made a start on my cards for my line dance ladies. I make them all the same ... then there is no deciding who gets what. Thankyou Sue for all your inspiration. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
