One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Make It Monday #37: Layered Mats and Frames

It took me all week to try to come up with a design...I wanted to use the Half & Half Dies, but I didn't want to cut it all the way through...so I laid the die on my paper, and marked where I wanted to stop and set the die off the paper...then I ran it through the die cutter and stopped at my mark.  I then used a craft knife to cut off the end of the piece...I stamped a Christmas sentiment on pink paper and stamped a row of holly at the bottom. Then I very carefully laid the smallest of the Holly Jolly dies in the two top corners and cut them out.  I attached this to an avocado green paper and added some berries with a hole punch.  I cut out two more sets of holly and added them at the bottom of the card...I adhered this layer to Pure Poppy CS and then to the Rustic White Card.

I love the way this turned out. Pretty creative die cutting there! The colors are a great choice also. :)
