Hello! I am back with a second project using the Hello Bluebird Holly and Pine Die. (You can see the first card I created with this die set here.) On this CAS holiday card, I created a wreath with the pine boughs in the set, to which I added some freshly fallen snow. This card features some of my favorite things – die-cuts, heat-embossing, and a stamped background.
- I stamped the card background with the TE Buffalo Plaid Background stamp in Love Letter ink.
- I heat-embossed one of my favorite sentiments (from the now-retired Hero Arts Operation Write Home Winter Wishes set) on to white cardstock which I cut with a circle die.
- I die-cut the pine boughs from Lawn Fawn Noble Fir cardstock and heat-embossed them with Hero Arts White Puff embossing powder.
- I arranged the boughs around the die-cut circle. I then used the Press ‘N’ Seal method to lift off the boughs and adhered them to the sentiment circle with Nuvo glue.
- I cut the bow from TE Foil Cardstock.
- I cut the holly berries from Candy Apple cardstock and the pine cones from Lawn Fawn Chocolate Bar (one side of this cardstock has a subtle texture).
Supplies:
This is so pretty!! I love the snow detail with the embossing powder. I am going to have to try that trick!!
Jean this is so wonderfully festive. The bits of “snow” on the boughs are just next level lovely.
