Did you know you can create your own textured background with dies?
For this card I diecut lots of white Berries and Holly leaves from the Reindeer Fun Dies and adhered these together. Then I added them to a white card mat. It adds a subtle texture.
Here’s how to Create this effect:
Diecut lots of Holly Leaves and Berries from the dies on white card.
Adhere the Holly and Berries together.
Lay all the Holly/Berry pieces out on the white card mat to position them how you like. Have some overhanging the edges.
Adhere them down to the card mat. Turn over the card and trim off the overhanging pieces.
Then complete the card as you like.
I added a strip of Reindeer Days Paper and a strip of the Green Glimmer Paper along with the bells coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I finished it off with a bow from the Real Red and Gold Ribbon.
Try this idea with some dies you have. It takes a little diecutting and sticking together but it is a fun way to use them.
Hope your Christmas Creating is going along well.

Just a tip with using the Embossing Folder. When you have embossed your card. Try daubering on some ink over the raised trees to give the trees some coloured definition.
The “square” shaped diecuts can be layered together to add directly to the front of the card.
Or layer the other elongated shaped diecuts.
These little Gift card pockets are dressed up with the diecut bows.

It’s Week 6 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas Series. Can you believe we are half-way through already!
This week’s project is a Gift Card Holder. It is so easy to create. It’s made with a standard White Envelope, some festive paper and matching ribbon.
You can see how to make one in the video below. Gift Cards are a popular gift for Christmas so I hope you get to make one for yourself.
This is the Gift Card I created in the video. I will share some other versions in a later post.
I decorated this one with the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper. The words on the front are from the Trucking Along Stamp Set. The inside is one from the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set.
