First up using the positive.
The words are Memory Box dies. They are a bit bigger than I was really looking for, but by adding them to a long thin card, I made the most of them. I used some American Crafts Foil card. The dies are extremely fine and as hard as hell to get onto the card. I used my mini Xyron to adhere them. It was hard to ensure you don't stretch the letters. Still with the help of my T-ruler I manage to get them reasonably straight. I added the candle which I had coloured with Pearlescent paints and fussy cut. This candle is a Kaisercraft stamp. I added strips of the foil card top and bottom of my panel.
Now onto the negative.
I had kept the negative from cutting out my words and put the little bitty bits back and added them to some white card. I trimmed them up to be the same size and added them to a white card base. The Holly was stamped and coloured with Copics and fussy cuts. This is another Kaisercraft mini stamp. I added Glossy Accents to the berries. The foil is awesome to work with. The pack I got is 12x12 ~ 30 sheets of red, green, silver and gold.
These made a good start to my Christmas cards.

Yes, you got my attentions, Dawn! Wow - I struggle with straightness, but you have it mastered. These are adorable, but I'm just not ready to think of the holidays yet........still enjoying summer here.
Don't you just love being able to use both the positive AND the negative pieces? Nothing goes to waste and they both are so pretty! You are making me feel like I need to get a jump on my xmas cards!! XX
Love that there are no throw-aways! Both cards are lovely, Dawn!
Beautifully done Dawn! Christmas cards already, you are so good!
Oh they are both fabulous.

GORGEOUS cards Dawn. I am still thinking on how you managed to adhere them.
Stunning cards. I love how you have used both the postive and negative of the dies. A great idea!
Wonderful example of using positive and negatives. Wonderful Xmas cards - getting ready, I see.
This is so cool Dawn. I love the positive and negative effect of these cuts. I haven't any "word" dies yet and love the look so much! You did a great job with these two.
Oh these are both great! I know what you mean about narrow die cuts & trying to adhere them. Yours look perfect!
Hey Dawn! Thanks for linking this up to the Holiday Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
