Last Day for Die Cut Divas November 2024 Challenge!

Hi everyone - if you're in the USA, you're probably still recovering from Thanksgiving and Black Friday! Over at Die Cut Divas, we're celebrating the end of November & our fun Any Holiday Challenge, sponsored by Birch Press Design. You can see inspiration from the end-of-month team HERE. Here's the card I'm sharing on that post:


Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders; Lawn Fawn pastel glitter;
Neenah white; Hero Arts Glitter white;
& Graphic 45 Twas the Night Before Christmas
Other - Recollections gems

Some simple die-cutting results in an elegant layered card! I formed an A2 card from pine cardstock, then added the 3 herbarium layers (LF green glitter, Neenah white, Graphic 45). When I got to the top layer I decided to try a texty paper & was delighted with the result! A sentiment with shadow layer (perfect size & font, I thought) plus some gems for berries finished the card.

For my bonus, I didn't make a holiday card at all - sorry about that. I needed a thank you card for a party I attended a couple weeks ago so I got out my fave BPD Sugar Script Thanks die set.


Supplies: Paper - Hero Arts Bermuda; Neenah white;
Carta Bella It's a Celebration (patterned)
Other - various enamel dots

Simply added a stitched rectangle to an A2 card, then the layered sentiment & some enamel stickers. Very quick and easy. I just love the sugar script font and would've used the Christmas one on my first card if it had been a bit smaller.

That's it for today! Would love to see you in the November gallery if you haven't already maxed out (limit of 4). Your holiday card using a die &/or embossing folder needs to be linked by 9pm Pacific time today.

Thanks for visiting & happy crafting!!

The patterned paper really adds something to the layered effect. Great result. Love your simple thanks card too and they are both green, even better! xx

I love it when something works out, like the texty paper on your first card. What a great second card too.
