The Leaves of Holly bundle is a beautiful new Christmas bundle introduced in the July – December Mini Catalog.
From simple touches to elaborate designs, garnish your seasonal cards, tags, and gift boxes with this classic Christmastime foliage. You can stamp either the base leaf stamp or detailed leaf stamp alone for quick greenery. Or take advantage of the Two-Step design to create images with added texture and dimension. Try out different color combinations on your leaves and berries to create beautiful boughs of holly. Make beautiful crafts, “From Our Home to Yours” and spread the “Peace & Joy” of the season.
But you don’t have to stick to the Christmas theme when using the dies. Combine the dies with other products you have on hand to create cards for other occasions too. Think fall, masculine, memory pages, spring, and summer!
