This month, the Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix Challenge is Die Cut Sentiments. The only Gina K. sentiment dies that I have are Christmas and Hanukkah, so I made a Christmas card.
Gina K. showed how to make a swirl design on an A2 size card, using the wreath builder template with a square piece of cardstock, and then cutting the wreath and attaching it to the ends of the card. I wanted to try stamping the whole design on a slimline card, so I used the Memory MISTI with the wreath builder template so the cardstock would fit.
My cardstock wasn't square, so I made a small pencil mark on one corner and made sure that the marked corner was always against the template. Once I had the pattern on one end, I repeated it at the other end.
I used the following supplies:
