Look at This Happy Joyful Die-cut Christmas Card

Hello there my crafty peeps! Summer is winding down around my house, and school is about to start. Not to get ahead of ourselves, but I thought I'd share a little holiday card making today. It's not too early, right? Today is Die Cut Obsession Day on the Impression Obsession blog so let's take a look at some fresh Christmas cheer, with a couple fabulous dies and just one simple stamped sentiment.

This card begins with a beautiful sentiment, called Happy Joyful. I love this stamp because it's not too big and not too small, and the sentiment is the perfect balance between classic and traditional but with a little bit of whimsy! Plus, I love how perfectly it fits into the die-cut frame.

After the framed sentiment was ready to go, I adhered it onto a white embossed card base and then started the fun part - arranging the greenery. (It's almost as fun as arranging real Christmas greenery!) The Winter Foliage die set is made up of 18 different dies. They all come attached together, and rather than cut them apart, I keep them all as one die so that I can cut a whole bunch of pieces at one time and have them ready to play with.

A few simple embellishments finished off this card, and I think the whole thing feels like sort of a fresh twist on a classic idea. And now - it's your turn.
