Hello and welcome to the Share it Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I have been designing projects for a Christmas Stamp-a-Stack using the Boughs of Holly dsp and made this card using some of the left-over pieces.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the boughs of holly card, you will need:
Shaded Spruce card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Real Red card – 5⅛” by 2⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 4” by 3”
Adhesive Sheet – 4” by 3”
Boughs of Holly dsp – strips ⅜” wide
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Shaded Spruce card – 2¼” by ⅜”
Using my paper trimmer, I cut ⅜” strips of Boughs of Holly designer Series Paper (dsp).

I applied the Adhesive Sheet to the piece of Basic White card measuring 4” by 3” and peeled off the backing. The strips of dsp were then laid edge to edge across the basic White panel, the adhesive keeping them in position.

I die cut the larger bauble from the Spruced Up Dies and separated the solid inner from the delicate outer piece. I also die cut the star and the flower from the scrap.

The 5” by 2¼” piece of Basic White card was embossed using the Timeworn Text Embossing Folder. This was then glued to the Real Red panel and added to the Shaded Spruce card base on Dimensionals.

The two baubles were then added to the card front with the star. The bauble tops and stars were then die cut form Gold Glimmer paper and added to the card front. I cut thin strips of the Gold Glimmer to act as the bauble hangers.

The sentiment from the Joyful Flurry Stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink, covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set before being added to the card front.
I hope you like it.
