'Merry' Slimline Pop Up Card

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a shiny Slimline card I made for Christmas, using mostly older dies in my stash. I will link anything that is available (like the pretty slimline background die by Divinity Designs). I cut that background die from a variegated metallic card stock and it has such a pretty shine to it. I love that in a holiday card.

The 'Merry' and two of the poinsettia layers were die cut from red mirror card stock with the middle layer and holly leaves cut from gold. The sprig was cut from a different section of the same metallic card stock as the background and everything was layered onto a crosshatch oval by Karen Burniston. A few red and gold sequins and the front was done.

Here is a peek at the inside, where I added a simple box pop up and layered ovals with a stamped sentiment. The scalloped border dies are from Scrapbook.com ... I think I ordered those this summer and I was able to link them below. It looks like they have some new Slimline border dies that I will be adding to my collection soon. I do love border dies!

I didn't do a tutorial on this pop up, but will link my YouTube video for the last one I did for creating a simple box pop up HERE.  The strip I started with was only 1/2" wide for this one - it's a technique you can play with to make it work for your card size.
