Holiday Release: Deck the Halls

Border Die, Christmas, Winter

The Poppystamps Blog Blitz is underway! Today, I'm sharing a winter holiday card featuring several of the new release dies combined with Poppystamps favorites.

To create a cozy holiday scene, I started with the Elegant Stair Frame, which cuts and embosses. For color and decoration, I cut the Leafy Garland several times and attached it to the banister, adding some pearls as embellishment. I cut the Frozen Border and put a portion of it behind the Small Madison Window to give the illusion of a snowstorm outside. The staircase frame is attached to the card base with dimensional adhesive to create depth. I finished off the scene with a cat and sentiment I created on my computer.

As part of the new release, Poppystamps is giving away a die featured in each post.  For a chance to win the Elegant Stair Frame die, please leave a comment. 

For every post on the blog between July 1-15, we'll be giving away a die. Comment on any of the posts that you'd like to enter by Midnight US EST July 18.  Winners will be posted on the Poppystamps blog on July 20.
