I made a few of these cards with various designer prints (showing 2 here from Memory Box). MISTI was a wonderful aid in stamping the die cuts. The dp and vellum were both diecut with stitched rectangles. The darker of the two cards (in the back) didn't show the stitches so I went over them with a white gel pen on the vellum and a brown pigment pen on the dp. I also dotted the dp with a silver gel pen where lines intersected. I layered the dp onto the cardbase, ran the vellum through my Xyron and adhered it to the dp, stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, I popped up the wreath & bow with foam adhesive and then added teeny red gems to the wreath and over the "i" in Christmas.
Thanks so much for looking! I hope my cards will help to inspire you while creating your holiday cards.

Your use of vellum is going to inspire me! It's perfect as an overlay to your dsp. Love your die too. What I most like is the beautifully embossed sentiment. There's something about it: It really gives your cards such a sense of elegance. Beautifully done, Cindy.
