Happy Friday, crafty friends! 🎨 Today, I'm thrilled to be part of the Simon Says "Festive Fun" release blog hop, showcasing the fantastic new Festive Fun collection! There's a $25 SSS gift card up for grabs at every stop on the hop, so make sure to join in the fun.
I've designed a festive holiday card adorned with exquisite diecut berry branches and shimmering starry red foiling. The new Abundant Leaf Background die is absolutely stunning and versatile enough for every season!
Believe this Christmas Season card
Card size: A2 - 4.25" x 5.5" (inches)

Here are simple instructions on how to create today's card:

- Emboss an A2 sized panel of white cardstock with the Fluted Forest Decor 3D embossing folder. Mount to the card front with foam adhesive.
- Diecut the Abundant Leaf Background die from aqua and ivory glitter cardstock. Cut the berries from red glitter cardstock.
- Trim into pieces, then arrange to the card front as shown.
- Foil the believe sentiment in Christmas Sparkle foil, then foil the leftover with the solid hot foil plate.
- Diecut with the coordinating die and two extra layers. Stack & glue together.
- Stamp the secondary sentiment in onyx black to white cardstock, then trim into a thin strip.
- Adhere the sentiments to the front with thin foam strips.
- Accent with gold jewels to finish.
