Christmas in July Day 4 - Holly Jolly Christmas

Another day at my Christmas in July 2020 party.  Today I wanted to show you how to take a single diecut and give it a boost.


Isn't this a fun die-cut!!  I love it but it looked a bit drab in one color so I decided to kick it up a notch and bring a little life into it.  Here's what I did....

Step 1 - Trim a piece of Gold/Gold Glossy, Emerald/Gold Glossy and Ruby/Gold Glossy foiled paper to fit the diecut.

Step 2 - Diecut the tree from the foiled paper. 

NOTE: You can cut all three in one single pass.

Step 3 - Selectively cut the words from the red and green foiled trees and glue them down to the  gold tree.

Step 4 - Diecut scallop rectangle from Cobalt/Gold Glossy and stitched rectangle Arctic/Gold Glossy foiled paper. 

Step 5 - Cover a card base using Cobalt/Cobalt Starstruck foiled paper. 

Step 6 - Cut and adhere an Silver/Silver Starstruck foiled mat to the card base.

Step 7 - Affix the small mat frame to the card.

Step 8 - Glue the multi color tree diecut to the frame.


Just look at how pretty it is all assembled.  That foiled paper really adds such a pop of color doesn't it?

Supplies:


Spellbinders - Christmas Tree

MFT - Scallop Stitched Rectangle, Stitched Rectangle

  1. Very pretty card....not words usually used for a diecut but this really is. Love how you used the die, get your money's worth of cards in one pass of the die. Thank you so much for sharing.
