Holly Deck The Halls Christmas Card

One afternoon I went into my craft room with no plan other than to tidy things away and to clear and clean my messy desk.  Unfortunately while tidying I got distracted when I came across a pile of patterned paper and some holly images stamped onto patterned paper.  Before I knew it I was creating a card and making more mess!

Here's the card and envelope together.

Here's the card.  I embossed the copper foil sheet with the 'Hammered Metal' 3D embossing folder.  The copper foil goes brilliantly with the foiled patterned paper!  I fussy cut the stamped holly leaves and berries and die cut some leaves using Old Olive CS and copper foil.  I stamped and die cut the sentiment element and then assembled the leaves and berries.  I adhered the patterned paper and Cherry Cobbler CS border at the bottom and added pinecone embellishments and a linen thread bow to my focal element to finish the front.

Here's a closer look at the focal element.

Here's the inside of the card.

Here's the envelope.
