Hi friends. Today I am sharing a Christmas card for inspiration. No more procrastinating. Time to get crackin’ on those holiday cards! This week on the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog, the design team will be featuring all their favorite Christmas dies. Head on over each day though October 21st for new inspiration.
My card today features some beautiful Christmas dies from Cheery Lynn Designs along with this fabulous Traditional Christmas Mix October Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

My card is a 5-1/2″ square card and I do have several layers including a pretty white mulberry paper layer at the bottom. The inner white square that I placed the wreath on measures 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″. That is layered on red and I trimmed a small border. Below that you can see the Square Frame die in green which is mounted on a 4-1/8″ square of white cardstock.
I cut the wreath in emerald, dark green, and gold cardstock and then layered them all for added dimension. I then cut some berries from red cardstock and added them throughout the wreath. I topped it off with a pretty gold jingle bell and bow. The corners are adorned with holly in red and green.
My bow was created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using two ribbons from the October Ribbon Club Assortment and it was topped off with a pretty 14mm White Flower Shape Flatback Pearl Embellishment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

My goodness – those dies are gorgeous, but only because you have made them so! Beautiful bows too. I just can’t get the hang of it. I have watched so many videos, and they don’t look like they should (not the double – just the regular!). I need to come over! LOL
Your design is beautiful, and I love the traditional colors. That bow rocks! Thanks for playing along with 613 Avenue Create.
Love the card Bonnie! Love the layering and your gorgeous bow!
This is stunning!
Bonnie, what a gorgeous Christmas card! I love this amazing wreath with your Cheery Lynn dies, and the ribbon is gorgeous – so rich and traditional…something I so love. Thanks for joining us at Word Art Wednesday! Hugs!
Gorgeous card, Bonnie! Lovely traditional colors really bring out the vintage and festive feelings of the season! Hugs, de
I’m getting a security certificate warning on every single link I have tried on here and it won’t let me view anything, i have to click on ok on the warning and it returns back to how it was! Doe’s anyone know why it’s happening?
I’m not sure why you are seeing that Debbie. I checked the site on google chrome, microsoft edge and safari and I’m getting no warnings at all. I’m not sure why you are seeing that unless you have some type of super strong security blocker that is just blocking any links and/or pop ups. I do have my links set to open a new window, so maybe that is why? Sorry you are having this problem.
Hi, Bonnie! I came back with my other hat on this time! Thank-you for joining us at the Cardz 4 Galz Challenge. We love seeing your paper crafting projects, and are so happy you have joined us! Please check back to see if you have won a badge!
