Hello and happy October! Today, I am sharing a Christmas card crafted with the Spellbinders October Large Die of the Month set – “Christmas Boutique” – slightly modified to make a charming house (rather than a storefront) adorned with Christmas florals. Read on to discover how to create the card. You can also head HERE for a tutorial on how to use the set.
-
- Glimmer foil blue cardstock in Gold with a sentiment in the Glitter Wishes set. The Large Die of the Month set includes a sentiment die to create the word “Noel.” I decided to use the glimmer-foiled sentiment at the base of the card front and consulted my post Prepping for Christmas Card Making for sentiment options. Trim panel to 5 1/2″ wide by 4 7/8″ tall and add to a card base.
- With a die in the Large Die of the Month set cut the house (boutique) base from green cardstock. Cut again from red cardstock and trim off the foliage on top. Cut floral and house pieces from a variety of cardstock colors. Add Rustic Wilderness ink to green cardstock elements (holly leaves, other leaves, Christmas trees) to differentiate from the green base color. Add enamel dots in red and white to the Christmas trees. Assemble.
- Add assembled house to card front.
Cute die set. Love the floral around the top. Great idea to make a house. Cute holiday card.
