The other day, I was playing around with the parts and pieces from the Be Merry Kit. This kit is not designed to make cards but rather it makes 12 rosette ornaments. I decided to use the different elements in the kit as focal points on a card. So, what do you think?
The black and white buffalo check print comes from the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper while the gold lacy medallion, the gold tree, wood banner and “merry” die cut all come from the Be Merry Kit and the holly berry & leaves are from the Stitched Felt Embellishments. All of these are found in the Holiday Catalog. The card is a “Z-Fold” card and if you scroll down you can see what it looks like opened up.

The Z-Fold is very easy to make with the card base measuring 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″.
I’d love to hear a comment on what you think of the altered use of the elements in the Be Merry Kit.
