Hi everyone! I had some fun die cutting florals and gold and getting a little bit vintage with this card.
Have you checked out this month’s club offering on the Spellbinders store website HERE? Awesome stuff again! We’ve come a long way from punches! hoho! (I still have all my punches, can’t bring myself to part with them.)
I took the club dies a little different direction than what it was designed for but for the most part it’s still intact!
I die cut the house section twice but trimmed it down to where the leaves stop on the sides. I die cut it in white and inked it with a couple green inks but you could easy die cut it in green and be fine. Everything that you don’t want to be green is covered by the time you’re finished.
Next I die cut the florals twice… it looks like a lot but it’s surprising that it isn’t! It goes fast because they’re an easy size to handle and you can see exactly where everything goes! YAY!
It would’ve been really pretty without being on a black cardbase but I couldn’t decide if it’d be ok or not in the end so I stuck it on a black 5 ½ inch square cardbase.
I really, really like it. Wish I could show you in person!
Die cut the words. Hot foil the panel…I didn’t do a great job foiling this piece. The cardstock was textured and foil works better on smooth. I didn’t do it over though because I wanted it to look vintage!
I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 ⅛ x 3 inches for the center and aged it with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and a blending brush. Then I glued the red foiled Christmas Greetings panel flat to the distressed piece and glued the panel to the floral pieces. You can see by my photos that I was able to get the corners under some of the floral parts.
When you’re gluing, leave your edges without glue and then you can get the panel under the berries, poinsettia and roses. Not hard at all!
So much fun! This will be a fun card to leave out on a mantel or on display some place in your home for the season!

I loved the idea of bringing in the jingle bell concept in the sentiment too. So I used the Jingle All the Way from the ‘Make it Merry Sentiments’ banner set… Love it!
