Hello crafty friends! Happy November! I’m delighted to share a slimline holiday card created with the Spellbinders November 2021 Large Die of the Month “Christmas Foliage Strip & Borders.” This jam-packed set includes 13 dies with which to create elegant and distinctive slimline cards. (Find out more about this set here.) The border dies in the set mix-and-match; I have paired three on my card, which I crafted from traditional Christmas colors.
- With one of the Large Die of the Month border dies, I cut the top piece from red cardstock, trimmed to 8 1/2 inches long, and heat-embossed the Christmas Time Sentiments sentiment.
- I die-cut the center section from Brushed Gold cardstock and adhered it to the red cardstock.
- I die-cut the floral border (Noble Fir cardstock) and additional elements.
- I adhered the elements to the floral border before adding the assembly to the red and gold piece.
- I added the entire assembly to an off-white, slimline-sized cardstock base.
There are a number of possible variations with these dies! While I chose traditional Christmas colors, I am envisioning another version in a palette of white and silver, for example. Additionally, the borders can be run vertically for an entirely different look.
Oh my, that is gorgeous.
That is really pretty. Has so much movement. I love the traditional holiday colors, but your idea with white and silver sounds great!
