And I just had to make a card to match!

A picture of them both together

I think this would make a cute gift for someone. You could fill the basket with candies or cookies, or ...a gift from Tiffany's? Throw me a bone...a girl can dream! :)
All supplies Stampin' Up! on the card. I finally whipped out my Handsome Hunter...he's so handsome but oh so neglected!
Stamps: Best Yet
Paper: Handsome Hunter, Whisper White
Ink: Riding Hood Red
Accessories: Button Bouquet, Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon, Build a Brad, Seasonal Sayings rub-ons, Dazzling Diamonds
Read on for instructions on the holly:
Cut your cardstock to 1 3/4" x 3 1/2" and fold in half lengthwise like so

Take your shiny new 1 3/4" circle punch and slid folded cardstock in punch such that 1/4 of the inside is not shown (make sure that the top of the fold is NOT in the center of your punch) Punch on both ends.

Open up your cardstock and it should look like this

Then grab your 3/4" circle punch and center it along one of the sides and punch a small sliver out like so

Make 2 more additional punches on either side rounding out the straight edges

Do the same on the other side and you end up with this!

I hope this is a technique new to you because I have never seen it before! I'm sure it's been done though...what hasn't?!
Happy Stamping!

VERY NICE!!! I AGREE THAT HANDSOME HUNTER HAS BEEN NEGLECTED BUT, HERE HE'S NOT. GREAT JOB!

I absolutely love your holly leaf. It's so crisp and pointy ... just like a holly leaf should be. I also love the way you frosted the edges. Thanks for sharing your great punch idea!!
