Holly card with bonus card


This is one of the first cards I made using the card function on the Stretch your imagination cartridge. I was inspired by this post on Christmas with the Cricut. Those ladies have so much talent. I made my card 4 3/4 inches.

Materials I use:

Cardstock from Hobby Lobby

Swiss dots embossing folder (for the holly leaves which is cut at 1.5 inches)

Red Ribbon from Walmart

Merry Christmas stamp from Michael's dollar bin

Red Rhine stones from Michael's dollar bin



Bonus Card

When you make the holly card above you get this frame from the scraps of the frame for the holly card. So this frame inspired me to make another card.





I took the frame and ran it through my cuttle bug with the d'vine swirl folder. Then I cut ginger bread man at 2 1/2 inches. I used a red rhinestone for his nose and 2 white rhinestones for his buttons. The Merry Christmas stamp is from the Michael's dollar bin.
