Any Holiday at Die Cut Divas

Hey there - I'm sharing the card below at Die Cut Divas today, inspiration for our November Challenge: Any Holiday in the Year. We're delighted to have Birch Press Design as our fabulous sponsor this month!! Here's my card:

Supplies: Paper - Paper Studio A2 card;

Neenah white; Tim Holtz kraft metallic;

Momenta watercolor print

Dies - Birch Press Design Floral Cross Layer Set; 

Poppystamps Fresh Happy Easter; 

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - foam tape; Paper studio gold pearls

I know we're all busily making Christmas cards at this time of year but I picked up a beautiful cross at BPD recently. Just had to make an Easter card for today's inspiration; our challenge is ANY holiday, after all...

Besides the 3 layers of the cross, the set comes with foliage and flowers - such a great value!! First I die cut the cross layers from gold metallic, variegated purple & green. Next I die cut the foliage in green and the flowers in white & yellow. Die cut a rectangle and added to an A2 card. Assembled the cross and added to the card with foam tape. Die cut and assembled the sentiment, then added to the cross & arranged foliage & flowers around it.

Ready for a bonus? OK, I just had to add another Christmas card to the stash :)

Supplies: Paper - Anchor Paper grey linen;

Neenah white; Tim Holtz kraft metallic;

scraps of red, teal and glitter

Dies - Birch Press Design Meridian Ornament Layer Set 

& Christmas Ornament Pop Up Easel 

Stamps with dies - Poppystamps Holiday Banners

Other - foam tape; Park Lane gems

Another quick and easy card, thanks to BPD dies! Instead of the ornament that comes with the pop-up, I used another BPD layered ornament (I have a fair few!). Assembled everything and added a stamped/die cut Poppystamps sentiment & some gems. Here are a couple other views; when flat, the card fits in an A2 envelope.

 

I think this was my first use of this lovely Meridian ornament which is on deep discount right now at BPD! But I know my cross is newly used so I'll add that card to Darnell's November NBUS Challenge #68. Don't know what I'd do without that challenge - really makes me use my new stuff!! I'll add my ornament card to Merry Little Christmas Challenge #59 (6th of 8 possible).

Hope to see you in the November Diva gallery by 9pm Pacific time on the 30th! Thanks for visiting & I appreciate your kind comments in this busy season!!
