Made these Christmas cards using the last of this beautiful glittery pine cone gift wrap which arrived over the holiday season wrapped around one of our gifts. I mounted the backgrounds to red cards. I die cut the ornaments (SX) and then die cut the word (TH) out of the middle section. These are not coordinating dies but they worked out really well. Next, I dug out my oval Nestibilities to see if I would be fortunate enough to find one of them that would cut an oval appropriate for filling in the opening. Yes, there is one that does the job perfectly!!! I cut the ovals from silver foil and also cut the top of the ornament as well. I trimmed the tops and used white glue to adhere them to the ornaments. I used regular tape to adhere the ovals to the back of the the ornaments. I added white thread hangers to them which I secured on the inside of the cards using regular tape as well and then used 3D foam tape to mount the ornaments to the card fronts. Really happy to have a few more cards for my stash! Therese
NOTE: I am staying home as much as I can during the Covid 19 pandemic in hopes of not getting sick. It has been nice to get ahead on Christmas cards during this time.
