Good morning everyone! Today’s card features new dies from the 2023 Valentine’s Day release. I decided to do a Christmas card using the new dies to show how you can stretch your dies to work for any occasion.
I die cut a white cardstock panel using the Pinpoint Snowflake Plate and adhered it to a dark brown cardstock mat. Using a blender brush and Gathered Twigs Distress ink, I added a little color to the snowflake background.
Next, I die cut all my elements from white cardstock and used Distress Ink and a blender brush to add color to the die cuts. Make sure you save the inside parts of the cup to paper piece and color.
Distress colors used:
- Cup, sending and heart – Lumberjack Plaid
- Pines and Holly – Rustic Wilderness
- Hot Chocolate – Gathered Twigs
I glued the cup to the background and then fit the die cut pieces back into the cup.
Next, I adhered the evergreen and holly to the card.
The word “sending” was glued in place and “warmest wishes” was white heat embossed on a strip of dark brown cardstock and glued the sentiment strip under the word “sending”.
To finish the card, I glued a red fairy crystal to the holly leaves.
I hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by today!
