Hi Couture Crafters - Jowilna here with a quick and easy wrapping paper die cut card!
It's countdown time to Christmas- just under one month to go!
We don't do a huge Christmas celebration, but I know I good wrapping paper when I see one. So when I had to wrap a present for someone else I bought this lovely paper with berries and leaves on with a mostly white background - perfect for any crafting project!

I wanted to create something festive but simple and this lovely new Christmas die was perfect for my card. I used the die cut as a base for my focal point element to sit on.

The details on the Couture Creations dies are amazing!

A quick sentiment strip adhered using foam tape adds some dimension.

Delicate layers compliment the die cut beautifully.

Here's how I created my die-cut and other elements:
Step 1 - adhere your Christmas wrapping paper to smooth white cardstock using a glue stick. Leave the glue to dry before cutting or otherwise the thin paper might rip and tear.

Step 2 - trim some of the leaves and berries out of the paper and ink the edges to hide the cutting marks.

Step 3 - Use the CO723892 – CHRISTMAS STAR 

die and cut the element out of the wrapping paper piece. I used Quick release die paper to help my paper release easily from the detailed die.

Step 4 - Remove the quick release paper and then adhere the element to the front of your card. Add cut out leaves and berries as well as a focal point image and sentiment using foam tape - Double Sided Tape Premium Craft Adhesives
