Sleigh Bell Christmas Card

Hello crafty friends!  I'm thrilled to be sharing my first card using some awesome supplies from Honey Bee Stamps awesome Merry Moments release!  Today I'm using the beautiful Lovely Layers: Sleigh Bell Honey Cuts dies along with some gorgeous paper from the Merry Moments paper pad.

NOTE:  Today is Honey Bee's Instagram Hop (beginning at 9 am CST) with lots of inspiration for the Merry Moments release!  Also, if you leave comments along the hop, you will be entered to win one of two Honey Bee Stamps gift cards!  Join me on my Instagram where I will have the complete hop list for you!

I love SO many of the patterned papers in the Merry Moments paper pad and just had to incorporate some into my card design.  I chose one and trimmed the piece to 4-¼" x 5-½" and used Bee Creative glue to adhere the paper to an A2 card base.

This particular patterned paper was the inspiration for my color palette I chose for the Lovely Layers: Sleigh Bells.  I went through my colored cardstock stash and found just the right shades to coordinate with the paper to use for the die cutting.

I used the Lovely Layers: Sleigh Bell dies to cut out each layer from the colors of cardstock I chose.  I cut multiples of the leaves and greenery to fill in around the Sleigh Bell.

I added some red glitter Stickles to each of the berries and set them aside to dry.

I die cut glitter cardstock with the bottom layer die of the Sleigh Bell.  The top is cut from brushed silver cardstock.  After I glued the layers of the Sleigh Bell together, I added a few pieces of foam tape to the back.

Before removing the foam tape backing from the bell, I set it onto the card and fiddled around arranging the branches behind it until I was satisfied with how it looked.  I picked up the Sleigh Bell, then placed Press N Seal over the arranged greenery.  Then I simply added glue to the back of those pieces and flipped it over to the card to adhere.

Next I glued on the glittered berries.  Then I added thin lines of glue to the greenery and sprinkled on some beautiful chunky glitter.  I love the sparkle!!

I stamped two of the sentiments in the Warm Holiday Wishes stamp set in black pigment ink.  Then I cut them out with the coordinating Honey Cuts.  I used a few pieces of foam tape and strips to adhere them to my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope to "see you" over on Instagram for the hop!
