Friday Die Day

Hello friends

It's Friday Die Day and this week I'm featuring Decorative Holly Frame.
This is three piece die set and the approximate measurements are:

Accent: 3 x 1¾”
Centre: 4⅛ x 3”
Frame: 5¾ x 5¾”

This is what it looks like cut/embossed...
and with light bouncing off the mirror card!
I really like the label shape with the pierced edging.
I printed my sentiment onto white card - the font is French Script.
Positioned the centre label die, cut/embossed.

I wanted to add a little decoration, nothing too much to detract from the 
ornate frame die.
I used the tiny poinsettia flowers from 5 x 7 Decorative Holly Frame die set -
these are going to be a definite go-to for me - they are adorable!

I matted the frame onto red cardstock cut with 6 x 6 Matting Basics
and then onto a white card front.
I now permanently have all my Matting Basics dies on my craft desk,
I seriously struggle with trimmers!
The finished card - how easy, the ornate die does all the work.



Decorative Holly Frame is available here.
Matting Basics dies including the 6 x 6 ones that I used are available here.
And those tiny poinsettia flowers come from this die set here.

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by everyone's good wishes
for the shows starting on Monday -
thank you everyone - you are all fab!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and take care friends.

    I made the mistake of pre ordering the 5x7 Frame in July !!!!!!!! and still waiting for it to be in stock.
    Now I have seen your take on it, especially the Poinsettias, I can't wait much longer!
    Looking forward to my tv being able to watch you Christine .......it will be such a treat after all this time!
    Take care

    What a gorgeous card this is, very elegant looking, especially using the Miri card. Loving the small pointsettias too. Thank you for this fab FDD.
    I love printing on card too, I'll add this lovely font to my ever growing 'favourite font list'!

    Have a lovely day.

  11. I love it I use the matting basics a lot! When using a trimmer/guillotine you can guarantee at least one if my sides ends up skew-whiff
