Hi Everyone it's time for CAS Christmas Mid Month Reminder, please come on over and join us in making a few Christmas cards. Don't forget we are almost half way to Christmas 😅
For this card I used one a Penny Black wreath die and hot foiled it to the card using Gold hot foil. You cant's quite see the gold as the lines are so fine, it looks so much nicer IRL I love using my dies as they such delicate detail from the cutting surface. I die cut the bow out of the same red card stock as I used for the mat and stamped the sentiment in Stamping Up Real red. For the berries I used Viva Decor transparent red pearl pen.

What a fun wreath and I am so glad you showed it at an angle, the gold foiling looks so pretty! Another unique and clever wreath!
What a great way to use your die to create a gold foiled outline of the wreath. So cool! xx
What a fun modern look this has and the foiling looks terrific!
I can imagine how much better this is in real life. The red and gold are stunning together xx
what a cool modernistic style wreath Christine! I'm sure the gold outline really sparkles IRL. Love the red bow added, the sweet berries and red stamped sentiment!
What a great way to stretch the use of your wreath die, Christine! I've been using my hot foil machine for some time, but I've never used dies for hot foiling. You made me want to try it. Thanks for your inspiration! :-)

Oh, my! I'm in the dark about foiling, but this is a way cool thing to do. Color me clueless. I do love the look of your card!
I really need to try using my dies with the Glimmer system. This wreath is gorgeous and I know the shine is amazing! So pretty with the red "berries", Christine!
What a BEAUTIFUL card Christine!! I like using my dies to foil with too, but have done it more with sentiment dies...you have got my wheels spinning now to try it with some image dies! The addition of the bow and berries make this CAS card just absolutely lovely!! :0)
that's beautiful Christine - the gold foiling is so lovely against the red. Love the simplicity x
Christine, such a unique and lovely wreath. Beautiful card.
I must put my dies to more use and try foiling with them! Your foiled wreath is beautiful. I can just picture how shiny and gorgeous it is IRL.
Wow - love that wreath foiled, Christine!! You inspired me to get that die out, although I just cut it for my card. Too late for CAS Christmas but another card done - yay!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Love this card! You are doing such a great job with the foiling! Wonderful gold and red!
Love that wreath! You are getting so good at the foiling! Love the gold and red.
This wreath is quite strange and at the same time very elegant. It goes well with a red bow
