Holly Berry card for the Christmas Stampathon

Posted on August 26, 2022August 25, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the cards I made for the Christmas Stampathon. Each month we are given a theme and asked to make and share 5 projects using the theme. This month we are making and sharing projects using Vellum and I have chosen to make my cards using the Holly Berry Dies and Boughs of Holly dsp.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Holly Berry card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base
Boughs of Holly dsp – 5¾” by 3⅞”
Vellum card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 3” by 1”
Scrap Basic White, Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Holly Berry Dies and Boughs of Holly dsp used with Vellum to create cards for the Christmas Stampathon

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the Boughs of Holly dsp to the Thick Basic White card front.

I ran the piece of Vellum card through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine inside the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I added Seal + to the card front in the centre, where I new it would be hidden and placed the embossed vellum on top.

From scrap pieces of Basic White, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen card, I die cut 3 detailed holly leaves using the Holly Berry Dies. I used a little of the liquid glue to adhere the leaves together and to add them to the Vellum panel.

The sentiment was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink onto scrap Basic White card in Evening Evergreen ink and die cut it using the label from the Holly Berry Dies. This was added to the card front using Dimensionals.

I nested two of the Stylish Shapes Dies together and used them to die cut a circle frame from the Distressed Gold card.

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop where we are showcasing something we have been working on recently.
