Holly Jolly Card by Ellen Taylor

Check out this pretty card from Ellen Taylor! Love the candy striped sentiment!

Ellen used Holly Jolly D14121, Holly Wreath DIE109-Y, Twig Wreath Die Set DIE023-X and Sm Snowflake Set DIE100-F for her card.

I colored Holly Jolly D14121 directly with Memento Cottage Ivy and Lady Bug Red Markers, leaving uninked strips.  Once stamped on my card stock, the blank strips were glittered up using a Zig 2 way glue pen and some glitter, giving it a sweet candy cane look.

 

 


The frame for Holly Jolly D14121 was created by die cutting the Holly Wreath DIE109-Y twice, cutting it and adhering it in an oval around the sentiment.  I used the berries from the Twig Wreath Die Set DIE023-X  and sponged the birds with Memento Rich Cocoa.  To finish it off I added a blinged snowflake  from the Sm Snowflake Set DIE100-F to top the  red bow.

Have a great day!

Your mind never stops churing. This is such a great idea. Leave it to you to come up with something as grand as this.

Blue & White Winter by Kittie Caraccioli I can feel a chill in the air looking at this lovely card from Kittie Caraccioli! Kittie used the DIE108-F Sled, DIEo84- V Fir Trees and DIE100-F Small Snowflake set dies for her card. I try to stick with the design rule of using odd numbers of images in my design. I usually makes things lots more interesting. Note three snowflakes, five fir trees and one sled. small snowflake set. The crimped ground snow was the first thing attached to the base. Next I arranged the trees, attaching with mounting tape and leaving a nice blue space between for the head of the sledder to show up well. Have a great day!

Beautiful Snow by Jenny Gropp Jenny Gropp share a stunning die cut snowflake card using DIE024-X Snowflake Die Set, DIE100-F small Snowflake Set, DIE093-X Large Snowflake, Border Duo 2 Set and CL495 Snow Clear Set I just love the Snowflake Dies from IO! The new largest snowflake IO released cuts all sorts of beautiful and intricate layers. BUT today I just embossed it on the main panel. I used a thicker paper to prevent it from cutting all the way through. You can see the impression after embossing the large snowflake. The other two die cut snowflakes will get stacked on top and secured with a brad. I added more snow flake pieces on the inside of the card. The sentiment I used is from the NEW Snow Clear Set. Have a great day!
