I bought this Tim Holtz Alterations die quite some time ago because I love the rustic look of it.
I wanted to do something a little different so I made the card base 4.25 by 4.25 and have the holly over the top edge making it an A2 card. I inked it all up with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and used an NBUS sentiment from Hero Arts.
I'm awaiting my order from Papertrey Ink and just placed one with Simon Says Stamp. Where am I going to put all this new stuff? I have an Ikea DVD rack and all my stamps and dies in DVD holders but one rack just doesn't hold them anymore. My daughter has two that she can't use and will give me. I guess I'd better have her ship them. I should have my head examined but they'd probably just find paper and stamps floating around in ink there, with a few dies thrown in for good measure. All I can say is "I'm probably still WAY behind some of the rest of you". wink wink
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Love the natural and rustic feeling to your card, Bobby! Thank you for joining us at Merry Monday!
Very good hamstering, Bobby! This is clever and fantastic! As for how to keep the spread of NBUS under control? When you find out, you'll win the Self-Control Award of the century!! Hugs, Darnell
Oh, I love this! The holly and branch are such a bold statement, and your card is beautiful in it's simplicity! Thanks so much for playing with us at Merry Monday!
Very cool Bobby! Love that font on your sentiment as well as your holly branch. I've exercised pretty good self control this year. Had only ordered one set this whole year so far, but broke down and ordered another set and die from Amazon...And I haven't even visited PTI to update my wishlist! Crazy. Great card. Bev
I love how you made your card with the holly going off the top, Bobby! Very cool. Thank you for joining us at Merry Monday! Have fun with your new goodies. :)
I feel your pain (and your joy) at all this new stuff to have to find room for. This holly die was meant for this challenge! Love how it comes off the top of the card! Very creative and artistic! Thanks, Bobby, for sharing it with us at Merry Monday!
Lovely card, Thank you joining us for Merry Monday.
Love this .... the holly over the edge is a really nice touch. xx
The holly off the edge is a fantastic design element. Very festive card!
Such a great design for your card! The positioning of the holly is fabulous!
