Peace, Joy, Love {Merry Monday #170)





Make a card with holly on it.

I am guest designing for the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge blog today. This week's challenge is to use holly on a project which worked out perfectly for me as I had just purchased some new holly leaf dies. 



I used the Papertrey Ink Phrase Play #8 die to cut from red and white cardstock and then layered them onto newsprint patterned paper I attached the frame piece to a patterned paper background from the same pad using craft foam. I cut the holly leaves and berries using the new Memory Box Stitched Holly Leaves dies and then attached them to the frame piece with foam tape, replacing the star on the die cut. The small sentiments from the Papertrey Ink Sparkle and Shine Mini set were stamped with with black ink and I added a few red jewels to highlight them. All the patterned paper came from the Pink Paislee Merry & Bright pad from last year. 

Products: Papertrey Ink stamps, cs and die, Pink Paislee dp, Kaisercraft rhinestones, Memory Box dies, Simon Says ink
