Deck The Halls

Hi friends, it’s Christina! ‘Tis the season to deck the halls, and I have a festive card to share with you today featuring the popular Build an Ornament die set. This set comes with a ton of different decorative embellishments so you can customize your ornaments however you like. I chose a simple red, white, and silver color palette and added some Christmas greenery to spruce things up! These holiday ornaments pop on a tone-on-tone Twinkle background, and a fun Candy Cane Stripes background completes the festive look. Take a peek at the supplies I used, and then we’ll get started!

Build an Ornament Dies
Holiday Wreath Builder Dies – greenery
Christmas Holder Additions Dies – small ornaments
Wonky Stitched Rectangle Dies
Banner Greetings 1 Dies
Christmas Banner Greetings Stamp Set
Twinkle Stencil
Candy Cane Stripes Stencil
Metallic Silver Pearls

I started my card by creating the stenciled background panels first. For the Candy Cane Stripes, I used Pine Needles Distress Ink on white cardstock. For the Twinkle pattern, I die-cut the largest Wonky Stitched Rectangle from ivory cardstock and stenciled the pattern using Opaque Matte Texture Paste. I layered these panels together and then moved on to building the ornaments. 

I chose a classic red cardstock for the base of my ornaments and used white and silver glitter cardstock for the decorative elements. I added some of the decorative elements to the small ornaments too so they would coordinate with the larger ornaments. Then I arranged them on my background panel and attached them with thin foam squares. I topped each ornament with a matte silver cap and finished them up by tucking some greenery around the larger ornaments. 

Next, I added a Christmas Banner Greeting heat embossed with white embossing powder on an evergreen cardstock banner and attached it with more thin foam squares. The finishing touch was to add a few Metallic Silver Pearls for a little something shiny. 

That’s it for this festive holiday card featuring the Build an Ornament die set! Thank you for visiting and see you again soon!
