Christmas Bells

My Mum ordered some lovely Die'sire Christmas dies when they were on Create and Craft recently, and I happened to pop round just after they'd been delivered.  Mum had itchy fingers to burst them straight out of the packets, so we both went up to her craft room for a play, I had to beg, borrow and steal some of her stash to make my card as I hadn't taken anything with me.  I found some scraps of Graphic 45 paper and a small piece of embossed metallic card, along with a reel of tartan ribbon, and got die cutting!

 The bells were cut with a Die'sire die, I cut them in gold mirri and white, so I could have the ribbon a different colour, and did a little fussy cutting and layering.  The die cut well with lots of detail and nice embossing, the die cut also popped out of the die easily, unlike my Die'sire snowflake dies.  I used a holly punch to cut a tiny sprig of holly to top the bells and stuck on red gems as berries.  I used Mum's Spellbinders Marvelous Squares to make the mats for the bells to sit on, that's another set for the wish list, they're stunning!
To finish off, I stamped a sentiment with a Lili of the Valley stamp (more stash envy!) and added some red mirri Card Candi to the corners.
