Good morning everyone!
Welcome to day 5 of our blog blitz! I hope you are enjoying all the wonderful posts from the design team.
Today I have a Christmas card that features a few of the new dies.
To make this card I used one of the one of the rectangles from the Wrapped Stitch Rectangle die set, and die cut this from watercolor paper. I used Fired Brick Distress Oxide ink to create the background. I die cut Home for the Holidays, but cut a portion of the die off to read "Home for the Holidays". Once it was cut, I embossed the words with Gold embossing powder and saved the cut-off snowflakes to glue on later.
Next, I die cut the Snowy Cabin and Stitched Snowbanks from white cardstock. I trimed a thin horizon line under the cabin and glued this to the bottom of the card front. The trees I inked with Peeled Paint distress ink, cut them off the snow hill and glued them onto the horizon line. Using a glue pen, I added glitter to the horizon line and the cabin roof. Next, I glued the embossed words in place and added the snowflakes.
To finish the card, I glued the card front to a green cardstock layer. I glued this to a card base and add some bling to the center of the snowflakes. Lastly, I used a white pen to add some snow dots to the background.

I love the embossed words, they really add a nice touch. I do question the dies it shows you use, I don't think they are the correct ones.

Donna, what a beautiful card! Thank you for taking us through your creative process as to how one can use dies in a different way to fit a design. This release is amazing and the design team is doing an awesome job including yourself!

Love your card which seems to be the words that everyone says. But I DO love your card. Reminds when I would stay at this darling cabin in Lake Tahoe with all the snow around and so peaceful. Thanks for sharing your lovely creation!!
