Here's another of the cards I did using a set from Deedee's Digis. In case you haven't heard the sad news, Deedee's is going to be closing at the end of the year. I've so enjoyed my time on her DT and I'll miss seeing new sets from her each month. But for you folks, this means that you can get those "Wish List" sets you've wanted for 75% off! Every set in the store is less than a dollar. How can you beat that?!
For this card, I used the "Nutcrackers" set. You'll see a couple more of these from the set on some tags I made and I'll share those later.
The image is fussy cut and adhered to the red, die cut, CS. I used an embossing folder (Darice) on the glittered CS background piece (a scrap from another project) after it was cut with a die from Spellbinders. The sentiment was done with a computer font, then hand cut and mounted. Everything was mounted using dimensional dots for depth and texture.
Ribbon and hand tied bow are leftover scraps also and the green snowflakes are punched out pieces, scraps which I had tossed into my stash for use later.
