Merry Christmas
Hi there my crafty friends! Here's a fun Christmas card that you can make with only a couple of dies. I started by cutting a piece of white card and embossing it with the Nordic Tiles embossing folder. Next I cut the Heirloom Flourishes out of dark green card seven times. I arranged them to resemble a Christmas tree and glued them into place. I used the Holly Wreath Octagon die and cut the wreath out of yellow, red, and blue and used the "berries" as ornaments on the tree. I cut the star for the tree out of gold mirror card using the snowflake from the Christmas Angel 2026 and glued it to the top of the tree. I cut the Merry Christmas sentiment out of white and added it to a red backing piece that I glittered. I added it above the tree with mounting foam. The card was competed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

What great post and shows the versatility of the dies - really need to get my mojo back - this may help if I look at my dies differently 🤔😊
