Deck the Halls!

In the Holiday Mini catalog you'll find the most beautiful Designer Series paper ever.  It's called Deck the Halls.  See what you can make with  just one 12" sheet?

Yes, just one sheet of 12 X 12 patterned paper & you get all of these!  I got the idea for this from Deann Oliver.

I used Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke & Very Vanilla card stock & an assortment of ribbons & lace in the same colors. 

It's a little tricky to cut up the 12 X 12 sheet so you get each of these words intact.  I wish I'd made a template to make it easier for you!  But I just started cutting the sheet up & seeing what I could get from it.

This card started out with a strip of extra patterned paper across the top, but I added one color of the seam binding over it & l kept adding until I had all three colors! 

And see the beautiful punched poincettias?  They are made from the left-overs when you cut out a Lattice die-cut.  My smart friend Pat showed me this trick. I used Champagne chunky glitter for the flower center.  Just press a mini glue dot in the center of the flower & sprinkled it with the glitter.

As you can see I also used lots of the little sticky pearls all over these cards.
