Happy Holidays

This is my post on the 
Dies R Us blog today!!

We are getting closer and closer to
'The Big Day"....
do you have all your Christmas cards made yet??
There is still plenty of time...so get busy!!

The card I have to show you today was 'built'
entirely around the snippet of paper you see on the left!


I added a pretty edge to the side of it (listed below),
embossed the other side and went from there.

Next came the snowflake doily, so prettily detailed.

The bird is a Stampendous stamp colored with Copics,
then cut out with a stitched circle.


I cut the holly from a scrap piece and also from a white craft foam,
which gives it a lot of dimension on the card.
I added a few cranberry pearls  and to finish I added a
pretty bow using RRR ribbon.

Here are the dies I used:
Impression Obsession Border Duo 2
Cheery Lynn Designs Holly Flourish
Wild Rose Studio Snow Doily (currently out of stock)
