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?

I’ve been working on holiday cards with the “Jolly Holly Bundle” since we returned from our summer travels. Actually, I made this particular card before our last trip. I had shared my first creation with the “Jolly Holly Bundle”, HERE. My next card was fairly simple to pull together with simple stamping and die cuts.
My color palette for this card are Real Red and Basic Beige. I love that Basic Beige gives an alternative to Basic White or Very Vanilla, but still is a nice neutral. First, I stamped the “poinsettia” image in Real Red on the Basic Beige panel then layered this panel onto a folded Real Red base. Next, I die cut both sizes of the stitched rectangle shapes from this set of dies. The “Joy” was die cut from a piece of “Red Glimmer Paper”.
The final touches for this card were to wrap the layered greeting panel with two strands of “Linen Thread”. I tied the ends of the “Linen Thread” off in a bow. The layered greeting panel is attached with “Dimensionals”. Then, I stamped one “Poinsettia” image in Real Red on Real Red card stock and the second one was stamped on Basic Beige. Next, I die cut both “Poinsettias” and layered them together with the petals off-set. Lastly, I added “Wink of Stella” to the Basic Beige “Poinsettia” and a small dot of “Red Glimmer Paper” for the center. The layered “Poinsettia” is attached with “Mini Glue Dots”. I absolutely love how this card turned out, it is very striking IRL!
