Noel, Noel

Hi - Hope you're enjoying our blitz and have picked up a bit of inspiration from all of our projects so far!  Jean Okimoto here with an unscheduled idea.  The day got off to a bumpy start, but it's turned around quite a bit - and I wanted to share this one with you.

Memory Box Products

• NEW Grand Joyeux Noel Die 99027
• NEW Frosted Spruce Tree Die 99005
• Resting Birds Die 98527
• Thistle Cardstock
• Juniper Notecard
• Juniper Envelope

Diecut Grand Joyeux Noel (save the little pieces inside the "e" and "o").  Attach Scor-Tape behind the "noel" - adhere the little pieces, then brush glitter onto the remaining adhesive through the cutouts.

Diecut Frosted Spruce tree from watercolor paper.  Leave it in the die and dry-emboss it for extra dimension.  

Attach adhesive label paper to red felt and diecut Resting Birds.  Attach everything to a Juniper Notecard and add some sequins.  A few timesaving techniques here - glittering, double-embossing, attaching felt to adhesive label paper to stabilize it and control the fuzzies.  That's it - quick, easy, clean and simple - QECS.

Be sure to add your comment here for a chance to win the Grand Joyeux Noel Die.  The deadline for adding comments is 11:59 PM EST on July 13th.  Good Luck to you!

It helps our budget that some of these dies can be used year-round just by changing the color of the cardstock.
