I’ve been super busy lately preparing for another local vendor market but wanted to post another sample of the “Jolly Holly Bundle”. This was one of the first few cards I created with this great bundle. Simple layout design and a very easy card to duplicate for multiples. HERE is my previous post using this bundle.
This card was truly a simple card using just the coordinating embossing folder, two stamps, a few dies from the bundle, ribbon and some bling. Honestly, the most difficult part was figuring out which colors to use for the bells! I do like the simplicity of a mostly red and white card as it has a nice crisp feel. As a reminder, this bundle is found in the On-Line Exclusives.
Basically, I stamped the greeting in Real Red and then die cut with the stitched rectangle die from this bundle. Then, I added a layer of Real Red to back the greeting panel. My card base is Real Red with a Whisper White embossed Holly panel adhered to the front. I added the greeting panel with “Dimensionals“. The bells were stamped, colored with “Blends” and then die cut. I tied a small knot of “Real Red Shiny Ribbon” and placed behind the bow on the die cut bells. The little bit of shimmer in this ribbon adds a nice touch. Finally, I added two “Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems” (now retired) to the bell clackers to add a bit of interest. Honestly, I keep looking at this card wondering if it might need a little something else, however, I do love the simplicity! What are your thoughts?
