The strip of Reindeer Days dsp was added to the right side of the panel covering the pencil line. We added the die cut white circle to cover the end of the dsp. The circle was deliberately left overhanging the side of the panel, and the overhanging piece was trimmed off.

Today I am sharing cards I made for the July Christmas Stampathon. The theme this month is ‘red, green & cream’. I have made my cards using the Forever Forest stamp set and the Nested Essential Dies.

Colours used in these cards are:

 

To recreate the forever forest card you will need:
