Here is an example of a Christmas greeting card made with products from the 2015 Holiday Catalogue.

Recipe

Stamps: Jingle All the Way.

Ink/Markers: Basic Black.

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pool Party, Garden Green, Winter Woodland DSP, Gold Glimmer Paper.

Accessories: Big Shot, Sleigh Ride Edgelit Dies, Circle Collection Framelits, 1/2″ Circle Punch, Snowflake Elements, Gold Cording Trim, White Perfect Accents, Gold Glitter, Fine Tip Glue Pen.

I had so much fun creating this card. I managed to use all 3 of the Sleigh Ride Edgelit Dies and yes, it did take some scratching of the head to get them to look like I wanted.

The rest of the card was fairly simple. To make like easier, I adhered the DSP to a piece of WHisper White cardstock and then die cut the circle. I started of with the piece of Pool Party card stock and worked my way down placing the edgelits where i want them to appear. Once I had the circle cut, I went about placing the die cuts.

To frame the image, a border circle was die cut from Gold Glimmer paper using the same die as the original circle was cut and then the next one up.

Finally I add the Gold Glitter to the art image using the Fine Tip Glue Pen.
