CDD October Stamp & Die Release Day - #2

Welcome to the CDD Stamp & Die Release Blog Hop. 

All stamps & Dies are in the CDD Shop and now available for purchase.

Here's what I've created for you...

To make the frame of the card (window/door) I taped together the Stitched rectangle die from Fancy Frames and square die from the Pocket Pieces die set and ran it thru my machine with watercolor paper.  Before removing the tape I ran it through two more times but this time with craft foam, making my base for the shaker card.  I did cut out another solid stitched rectangle to put it all together.  I used watercolors as well as some distress inks to color the window. For the snow I used some Microbeads as well as the Snow & Ice Sequins.

To assemble the wreath I cut out the wreath looking die from the Circle dies that were released yesterday.  I cut it out like 6 times in two different colored greens.  I added the candle and the bow die from the Party Dies.  I was so excited that I had these dies because they really finished the wreath off and made it so easy to make this card! Stickles came in handy for the "berries" and for the candle.  Before I embossed and distressed the window/door frame I embossed the sentiment from Get Your Jingle on.  This is one of my favorite sentiments from CDD, especially because it is a nice size.

Last but not least I used the angled die from the new In Line dies for the blue matting and the stitched line die for the red matting.

I will tell you ladies, if you need to make a bunch of Christmas cards this is a great and easy way to use up your scraps and make them in no time.  The dies do all the work!!
