Easy-peasy, right? Not so much!!! I used a Darice holly die. That was ok until I wanted to get the cut out!! What a struggle - all those parts sticking in the die. Then, adding all that glue! I used my brayer to make sure everything was stuck down. Now I think I'm going to do the merry again & use red for it's bg!!!!!!!!!!! I know, crazy ...
Edit: I did change to Cherry Cobbler behind the gold Merry. It looks so much better, but for some reason my phone won't let me rebuild the photo. So I totally re-uploaded.
Thanks for stopping by.

Great card, Karen! I've used wax paper on my more intricate dies, before cutting the leaves. It seems to help! The cherry cobbler is great with the gold!

I really love the RED behind the gold, and that holly die is wonderful as a background for the single word. Nice Christmas card, mdf!

Despite your struggles it turned out beautifully! I got tired of struggling with the intricate dies and invested in a roll of 4” double stick tape and it has made a BIG difference for me!
