Happy Weekend everyone! Hope you enjoyed our Holiday Blog Blitz - be sure to comment on each designer's post between July 13th and July 17th for a chance to win great prizes from our holiday release. The entry deadline is 11:59 PM EST on July 19th. Winners will be announced the afternoon of July 20th.
Jean Okimoto here today - with a (surprise!) red and green Christmas card. My usual colors are brights, jewel tones or winter pastels - but Holly Berry, Key Lime and silver gave this design a clean, crisp look. Hope you like it!
- NEW Open Studio Distressed Snowflake Collage Die Set 30061
- NEW Drop Ornament Layers Die Set 99225
- NEW Ornament Caps and Hooks Die Set 99213
- Key Lime Notecard and Envelope
- Holly Berry Notecard (for diecutting)
- Key Lime Distressed Dots
Diecut one of the Distressed Snowflake Collage designs from Holly Berry. Cut it with the Drop Ornament Layer. Attach Scor-Tape to white cardstock and cut the ornament again. Attach the Holly Berry ornament, then brush silver glitter onto the adhesive in the cutouts.
A quick tip - if some of the adhesive-covered layer shows along the edges, place the ornament back in the die and run it through the machine to trim it. It'll look like you did it perfectly the first time - promise!
Please visit our Ideas Gallery for detailed directions and more designs from the holiday collection.
Hope you'll have a chance to take advantage of the Impress 28th Birthday Sale today. Enjoy a 25% discount on our great holiday release, and everything else on your wishlist!

The new dies and inspired projects have really got me thinking about making cards for Christmas and the holidays. I'd love to be a winner of this die. Your card, Jean, is outstanding.
