Today we are going to be showing you how to make a festive Christmas card using some of the best holiday die sets, the 3D Wreath and Bow Dies. This card is an excellent example of thinking outside the box. The dies create gorgeous wreaths all on their own, but by putting the layered diecuts askew and fussy cutting them, you get a completely different look!
Cut the pieces needed for the large wreath and accompanying bow.
Cut the medium wreath and shadow layer, 8 of the small wreaths, 3 small shadow layers and 4 bows.
Add a green, striped piece of cardstock to a 5x7 card. You will be adding the inside pieces from your wreath diecuts to continue this pattern on your smaller wreaths.
Start adding your fussy cut wreaths to the card.
Add the wreaths as shown.
Add your gold wreath on top of the layered green ones.
To cut the edges off your wreaths, let the wreath hang over your card base as shown.
Flip your card over and use a craft knife to cut off the overhang of the wreath.
The large wreath and bow get a background from the Clock Dies behind it. Add a sentiment, and now you have a large complex diecut.
Add it to your card with foam adhesive.
Now, your "Peace on Earth" card is ready to send!
What's great about our 3D dies is the detail they create. Play with different matte foil cardstock, solid paper and patterned layers from your craft room to create wreaths in all 3 sizes.
Line up your wreaths down your card for a festive card for the holidays.
Use ink on your dies to bring out all of the amazing details in this dieset.
Let the wreath be the shining star on your Christmas cards this year! Your friends and family members will love receiving your holiday greetings.

Thank you for the instructions, Anna; you always make it look so simple and easy.
So lovely. The 3D dies are truly amazing. They definitely make our cards pop.
Loved the Member’s Only today. It is SOOOOOO worth the price of admission. I just renewed mine last month. It did cut into my Craft Budget, but I don’t want to go without it. So I just have to cut back on my spending. That is fine. Because I can now get Anna all the time, anytime I want to watch her.
Happy Crafting!
