More Than One Die Cut

I was pleased when my To a Deer Friend card was a winner of the Cut It Up 'Emboss It' challenge and the team invited me to a Guest Designer on a future challenge.  I chose the 'More Than One Die Cut' theme and have made a Christmas card which uses four dies.


To make this card I used:
     5.5" x 4.25" white hammer card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics, Memory Box 'Traditional Ornament', 'Lydia Ornament' & 'Crisp Bows' dies
     
Snippets of gold mirri card, blue and gold marbled paper and white hammer card

I die cut a stitched rectangle from white hammer card and then die cut the Traditional Ornament from the lower edge before attaching the panel to the front of the card blank.  I die cut the Traditional Ornament from a snippet of blue and gold marbled paper and inlaid it into the front of the card.  I die cut the Lydia Ornament from gold mirri card and used my tan embossing mat to emboss the design on the bauble, this was attached to the ornament with Artist Tac.  I die cut a Crisp Bow from gold mirri card, snipped the tail so it fit inside the panel and attached it to the top of the ornament.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Addicted to Stamps & More - Christmas
     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
     Merry Little Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes
     Simply Clean & Simple - Anything CAS Goes

So pretty. Love the papers you chose and your use of hammered card. The hammered paper has such a beautiful texure. Great way to combine die cuts. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!
