Hi everyone! I couldn’t decide what card to post first! So I went with the ‘glam’! lol
Here’s the NEW Wrapped Holly Circle Frame die from Memory Box with the NEW Three Candle Circle die in the center! There’s several dies in the release that can be used as centers!
I couldn’t resist using the NEW Candlelit SHINE die on the bottom.
TIP: I worked on a 4 ¼ inch x 5 ½ inch panel so I could die cut the SHINE die right in the bottom of the panel. I left the white letters in the panel, scotched taped them in on the back, that gave me an easy, perfect way to line up the individual letters when I glued the gold glitter die cut letters on top of the white ones!
I used Antique Linen Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool to ‘age’ the edges and around the flame.
Then I glued that panel to the A2 size card base.
I used Mark Richards 3mm red glitter domes for the berries.
Next one…I used the same dies but inked the pieces with the NEW Distress Oxide ink colors.
Barn Door on the outer ring and candles. I did use a Copic R27 to color the outline of the candle so there’d be more contrast.
Mowed Lawn and a little Crushed Olive smooshed on for the Holly Frame. White and Gold gel pens for the berries and flame.
I die cut a circle with the Circle Basics die set and inked it with Tumbled Glass, then smooshed on a little Peacock Feathers.
Glue the Holly to the circle, then I mounted it with foam mounting tape to the kraft A2 size card base. The outer ring is glued flat with PVA glue and the pin top Darice glue bottle.
The sentiments are from the NEW Typewriter Holiday Sentiments clear stamp set! LOVE it! Inked and stamped with Ranger Archival black ink pad. Edges inked with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.
My 3rd card using this NEW Wrapped Holly Circle Frame die is a 4 ½ inch square card.
This die is so classy die cut in Gold Foil cardstock! I love it this way. I embossed the holly circle frame in the teal cardstock, inked it a little with Distress Peacock Feathers ink pad and the mini ink blending tool then glued the gold foil diecut holly circle frame over the embossing. Hard to capture in a photo but it just tweaks it and gives a feeling of depth.
For the center on this card, I die cut the NEW Pine Tree Deer Collage die in the gold foil/mirror cardstock, then using a matching center size circle from the Circle Basics die set, I die cut the head and antlers of the deer so they’d fit perfectly in the center! Cool beans! hahahahahaha
The teal square is die cut with the Stitched Square Layers die set and the red square is die cut with the Square Basics die set.
I die cut the NEW Peace Cheshire Script die in gold foil and red cardstock. I glued them together offsetting just a bit so some of the red would show.
I added some Want 2 Scrap red gemstones here and there on the berries.
The layers were adhered to a 4 ½ inch square card base.
Whew, this was a lot for one post, but I wanted you to see all three at one time. 😀 I’m excited to use all the NEW Holiday release. I can’t wait to see what everyone else makes too!

I liked them all! Those candle cards are so colorful & eye catching.
Great cards! Did not remember dies from looking at catalog online.
Tells me what color does for card!
Wow, you have been busy in a good way. Loved them all. I liked the glam and non glam cards equally.
wow, three beautiful cards! I love how you used these different dies in the center, how interesting! and your results are beautiful, three different but unique cards. Amazing job, I love the colors in the second card by the way. ❤

Every single one – absolute stunners Pam!! I’m loving the typewriter style sentiments and how you used these – beautiful!!!
My favorite is the “Silent Night” card. I really like the green wreath with red candles. All of them are gorgeous.
All three cards are lovely and filled with inspiration! Can’t pick a favorite but loe everything that you do. Can’t wait to see what other goodies you will be making in the future. Your rock, young lady!!!
Pretty pretty I can hear Silent Night in my head. Still making summer cards😁
You knocked this one out Pam…all are truly delightful. Especially love the gold deer. A lot of creativity going on there. Well done my dear.
Gosh, your shine card just glows! I love each card. The colors in the deer card with the gold, though — wow! I went to Cindy’s to look after seeing these cards. I’m overwhelmed. Bet you had fun with these!
Oh Pam, these are so pretty! I love all three, they are all so different. I am having a hard time picking my favorite. What a truly versatile die! I haven’t even thought about making any Christmas cards yet…I haven’t had much time to make any cards for that matter. So much going on right now. I need to find some crafting time, just to get away from everything going on. 🙂
These are all so pretty Pam! You have me wanting to get my Christmas dies out and get to work! So very inspiring!!
All are gorgeous cards! I especially like the last one–lots of inspiration to CASE!
