Happy Friday, and welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Joy For You release Blog Hop. Today’s hop is filled with festive inspiration featuring products from the new release. For my project, I used the Holly Wreath Die to create a pretty little pink square card that’s small in size but big on Christmas Cheer!

Products used for today’s Holly Wreath Christmas Card:
- Holly Wreath Die
- Pine and Post Gift Card Envelope
- Christmastime EZ strips
- EZ Strips Slanted Rectangles die
How to create the Holly Wreath Christmas Card:
- Trim white cardstock to 4-1/4 x 8-1/2 and score at 4-1/4″ to create a square card base.
- Next, trim a pink panel to 4″ x 4″ and die-cut the Holly Wreath from the center. Attach the panel to the front of the white card base.
- Die-cut three additional wreaths from white cardstock. Inlay the first into the wreath opening in the pink panel. Layer the remaining two white wreaths on top, gently lifting the leaves for dimension.
- Use the berry stem die from the Pine and Post Gift Card Envelope die set, cut enough stems to go all the way around the inside of the wreath. Glue them in place.
- Place the card inside a splat box and splatter with gold and white paint.
- Use the star die from the Pine and Post Gift Card Envelope die set to cut enough stars from matte gold cardstock to decorate the wreath and the background. Glue them in place.
- Die-cut two white bows using the bowdie from the same set. Attach to the right side of the wreath.
- Finally, die-cut the Christmastime EZ strips, choose a sentiment, and attach it to the right side of the wreath.
