Here are the snippets and Poppystamps dies I used to make another Christmas card. I cut quite a few holly leaves to create a wreath to hang on the front door!
I used 2 Spellbinder circle dies, putting one smaller one inside the larger one to create a thin circle to place the holly leaves on. They were randomly placed and dotted with red Stickles glitter glue with a small twine bow added at the top. I created the door panels from some textured kraft cardstock, then sponged all the edges with white ink before placing them on another piece of kraft. I added some very old SU! Hodgepodge Hardware to make the door handle, and added a pre-printed Simon Says Stamp sentiment that works perfectly with the front door image.
I stamped a Just For Fun sentiment inside and added a couple more holly leaves and Stickles to finish this card.
I'm entering this into the Snippets Playground Challenge #443
which is Christmas in July (using snippets of course)
Also entering this into the July Rudolph Days Challenge which is always a Christmas theme that ends on the last day of the month.
As well as the Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge #20 - A/G
Thanks so much for stopping by and I wish you a great week ahead with many blessings.

This is just beautiful. Very inventive to make that wreath and the door is a great architectural design. The doorknob would look good on my front door.
ReplyDeleteI love it when you can take wee little pieces to create something fabulous like this! What a great front door! The hardware is perfect too!

ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground! Please come and taste a few cocktails up in the Treehouse later (once you've got out of the paddling pool and dried your feet)! xxx
Oh my goodness Carol! You're so good at taking the tiniest of strips and scraps and use them to come up with something amazing! Love how you've put the wreath over a door panel and a great idea for that "door handle" too...I have so many of those that I haven't used yet! LOL So glad to keep you around for inspiration my friend! I appreciate you sharing with us!!! Happy day!
