You get two cards today. Both of these cards were made at basically at the same time and both using the Words of Cheer stamp set and coordinating Christmas Cheer dies. I also pulled out the oh so sparkly Be Dazzling DSP in the Sale-A-Bration brochure (free with $50 purchase – more on that later)
Here’s what happened
Initially I set out to create this card, cutting out the letters from the Christmas Cheer die using the free Be Dazzling paper. I think they look super against a plain very vanilla background. I did try Basic White but felt the dazzling paper just didn’t go as well with white as it did with vanilla. Here’s a closer look at the Words of Cheer bundle.

Each of the words has two coordinating dies, one for the letters, and one for a background layer. I also used the sentiment in the top left but cut it into three pieces to fit better with my card design. The background DSP is from Tidings of Christmas 6×6 Designer Series Paper found in the annual catalog. I love this paper and have been reaching for it a lot because it is full of that beautiful Evening Evergreen In Color.
My second card was a happy accident in that when I cut out the letters for Cheer for the first card, I was left with this awesome piece of Be Dazzling die-cut paper. I played around with various looks until I landed on this one with the large holly image stamped off three times with Evening Evergreen before stamping on the card front.
