Holiday Wishes from Memory Box by Jean Okimoto

Holiday wishes of peace, love and joy from Memory Box to everyone celebrating today! Hi, Jean here with a mix-and-match holiday greeting. The ornament trio combines classic favorites, Christmas '23, and some extras from Poppystamps and Birch Press Design.

The sweet Layered Hummingbird - with a few alterations and minimal layering - becomes a peace dove here. He's perched on a Birch Press Design diecut that (I hope!) resembles a young olive branch.

Cut the Frilling Snowflake Ornament background from three shades of green cardstock. Punch holes at the top and attach gold cord. Curl the cord with the side of the flower burnishing tool or a bonefolder - follow the curve of the cord for best results.

Attach adhesive label paper or a sticker sheet to white wool-blend felt and cut the main section of Layered Hummingbird. Cut the top of the head/beak section from orange cardstock. Color the eye area with a black marker. Attach it behind the felt diecut, then trim the long hummingbird's beak to resemble a dove's beak. Cut two of the big wings from a white Delicate Pastel Glitter Pad sheet. Trim the little point from one wing. Attach the wings.

Cut the branch - from the Birch Press Design Jovial Blooms and Leaves Contour Layers set - from darker green cardstock.

Cut the Poppystamps Heart Jumble hearts from the red Glitzy Glitter Pad sheet.

Cut the largest Alpine Snowflake from the white Delicate Pastel Glitter Pad sheet.

Glue two pieces of white cardstock together and diecut them with the 2" x 7" Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.

Attach the diecuts to a white slimline card (3-⅝" 8-½") - use foam tape for the bird. Stamp the greeting - from the Shining Star Clear Stamp Set - on lime green cardstock with Green Oasis VersaFine Clair. Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder. Trim it with one end of the 1.1" x 6.1" Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die, then trim the excess with an edge of a larger die.

Attach the greeting with foam tape. Add red Christmas Fairy Dewdrops. Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
