I have been thrilled with the Mini Catalog this year and all of the Punch Bundles. There is one that I was not sure of, and now Love!! It is the Happy Holly-Days Bundle. This bundle makes for a more elegant Christmas card and that is usually not really my style. However, I have used the stamp set a couple of times without being elegant, and now have a Bundle card for you. I hope you like it.
The Bundle
The Happy Holly-Days Bundle is the star of the show. I was not sure how I would use the Holly punch originally. It is one of the border punches. The border punches are easy to line up to continue the pattern for the length of your cardstock. As soon as I punched this edge, I knew I was now in Love with the detail of this punch. And as an added bonus, I now have holly pieces that could be used in a shaker card or as confettii!
This stamp set has a variety of sentiments for the inside and outside of the card. Of course I did not use any of them on the front! It also has the bird image and the holly image. I decided I wanted both of those even with the holly border. They are both stamped and colored using a variety of Stampin’ Blends, which are listed in the Supply List. I fussy cut both with my Paper Snips and layered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Paper
The stamps and punch are obviously the main products of this card. But I wanted to use the Green Foil as well. The shine seemed to be a perfect fit for the Holly. To offset the brightness of the Green Foil, I paired it with Cherry Cobbler and a layer of Basic White. I debated on adding a Cherry Cobbler layer underneath the holly punched area, but decided the white looked better.
Finishing
The final touch of this card was the Glittered Organdy Ribbon. Surprisingly the glitter has a bit of red in it. Or it just picks up the color from the cardstock. Regardless, that is a great added bonus. I made a double bow with the ribbon to give this bird a bit of larger piece to perch behind.
