Our challenge this month at Scrap the Boys card challenge is

I pulled out my House-Mouse stamps for this card!

The papers are from Nitwits

and the image was stamped in memento and coloured

using Stampin' Blends.

I added some string and some printed ornaments to the top

as I don't like to add ribbon to male cards.

Joy to the World

There is nothing like beautiful scripted words to make a Christmas card

and that's exactly what you get with this gorgeous die

JOY TO THE WORLD

I also used another MUST HAVE die

SNOW FLURRIES

to make my card today.

I started off by cutting the Joy to the World die twice, once in deep pink card and once

in glitter card.

Having prepared my base card I adhered the pink die cut using  2 way glue.

I then applied the silver die cut, just off setting to get a shadowed effect.

I cut out loads of snow flurries using the same silver glitter card

and added to my card, finishing them off with a deep pink pearl.

I thought it would be nice to have these little mice singing below the wording,

a little mini  choir bringing Joy to the World!

I hope you enjoyed my project today.

The dies I have used are:

Papers are from DCWV

Stamp - Penny Black Holly Day Critters

Medium - promarkers

Christmas Wreath

Today, for my Tutti Designs project, 

I have started my Christmas card collection using the beautiful

HOLIDAY WREATH die.

I wanted to make an acetate front showing the sentiment inside.

So I started by cutting the Wreath using some sticky back coloured paper.

I cut the wreath in green

Peeled off the back and adhered to my acetate.

I cut some strips using red card, to fit the size of my acetate.

I used the acetate as a template and cut out a square front the front of my base card.

I stuck the wreath to the front of acetate and glued 4 strips to cover join.

I also added 4 strips of red to the inside to cover it up.

Giving a framed effect to my card.

I cut the wreath out again in red and cut the larger of the berries

and stuck on top of my green wreath.

I used my stamping platform so I could place the sentiment

perfectly inside the wreath.

I finished the card by adding pearls to each corner.

I hope you like my project today.

Unfortunately the Wreath die is out of stock but you can be added

to the waiting list and it definitely is worth waiting for!!

I have used:

Holiday Wreath Die, Sticky back paper, Labels to Love stamp set,

real red ink pad and pearls to decorate

Christmas in March!

Is it ever too early to start on Christmas cards?

The answer is NO when you have this gorgeous die in your hands!!

I am using

HOLIDAY WREATH

I cut the wreath out twice using plain white card.

I added dimensions to back side of one wreath and

with scissors I clipped bits away to release the holly so I could curl it up for a 3d effect.

I layered them together on the dimensionals.

Next I cut a piece of nice red card and folded into a 5x5" card.

I ran the front of the card through a holly embossing folder.

I mounted the Holiday Wreath onto card and added a gingham bow and some pearls.

I printed off a little robin, coloured with promarkers and stuck him with dimensionals to the centre

of the Holiday Wreath.

I finished the card by adding a sentiment and some red gems to the wreath.
