Every Friday at Jingle Belles Rock we are challenged to do a Christmas Card to avoid the rush at the end of the year! This week for Card #22 the theme is We Three Kings. Judy Ford
This is my version of the theme where we are suppose to use at least 3 different patterned papers.
Here I actually used 4 different patterned papers. I used my SU Lattice die to cut some corregated cardboard. I reminds me of a stain glassed window so I fussy cut some Red Poinsetta paper; green Ivy and for accent some MS Christmas paper for the star accent. Then I used paper #4 for the background. Some white flowers with bling centers with cardboard leaves (left overs from the cut) to finish the frame.
Trouble is I couldn't stop there! I had two other Sizzix dies in my aresenal so here we go.... there's only 3 patterned papers in them but I like how they turned out too....

Take a look over at Jingle Belles Rock . AND I also will be showing these cards for a future challenge at Betty Bee's Buzz to use corregated cardstock in a project.
Look at all of that wonderful holiday card magic ... I adore the texture of the cardboard and now have an overwhelming urge to start die cutting it ... that holiday tree is magical and your stained glass window is so peaceful ... so glad you joined our jingle belles fun.
