Yesterday on my blog, I shared the Cut Above Deck the Halls kit; today, I have the companion kit --the Cut Above Boughs & Berries card kit to share with you.  Again, in the picture below and my tutorial, I followed the suggested design for this kit, but the ladies in my class had too much fun making the cards their own -- by rotating the orientation of the card, moving pieces around, and doing whatever their hearts' desired.

To see how easily these cards come together, please watch the below video tutorial on my YouTube channel.

Supplies used:

*Cut Above Boughs & Berries card kit

*Black Exclusive Inks stamp pad

*Hand-Lettered Christmas M-size stamp set

*This is Christmas M-size stamp set

Below is a picture of a card sample I made for a recent class using the Cut Above -- Deck the Halls kit.  I followed the suggested design for my card, but the ladies in the class took this basic design and ran.  They changed up the ornament placement, turned the card from portrait to landscape, wrapped the twine around the card, and used all sorts of other fun ideas to make the cards their own.

To see how easily these cards come together, please watch the below video tutorial on my YouTube channel.

Supplies used:

*Cut Above Deck the Halls card kit

*Black Exclusive Inks stamp pad

*Doubly Merry M-size stamp set

*Holiday Greetings M-size stamp set
