I created a Christmas Card using Top Dog Dies Cherish Doilies & Tags Die Set (TC027), Leafy Flourishes Die Set (TC016) and Purse Card Finishers Die Set (TC002) along with stamps from North Coast Creations and pattern paper from Bo Bunny.
Instead of using the Purse Card Finishers Die Set (TC002), with the Purse Card (A2) Die (TW035), I used some of the elements as layers on my card. I die cut the purse panel from Espresso card stock and again from Bo Bunny Pattern Paper. I trimmed the pattern paper panel on all sides so that I could layer it onto the Espresso panel. I die cut the small scallop piece from this die set eight times and used it as a border under the panel. The sentiment is from North Coast Creations Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set, stamped in Espresso on a scrap of Bo Bunny pattern paper, highlighted with markers then layered onto an Espresso panel that was die cut using the smallest doily from the Cherish Doilies & Tags Die Set (TC027). To embellish, I added a Prima poinsettia flower, flourishes that were die cut from Hunter card stock using the Leafy Flourishes Die Set (TC016) and leaves that were die cut using the Purse Card Finishers Die Set.
