In order to make the tree I had to lay down two sections of the tape on card stock before I cut it out. I then used glue to add it to the red card stock. But the snowflake border worked well just the way it was on a single piece of tape so all I had to do was take the backing off after die cutting and place it on my card stock. That sure was easy. Here is a photo of the tape on a roll.
The sentiment is from the Gina K. Designs Stately Flowers 5 set. I just love the font of that greeting.
After adding all the layers onto the white card base I cut a thin strip of the tape twice so that I could put just a hint of it along the outside of the red layer. I thought it gave it a more finished look.
Dies used:
Memory Box Frosty Border Style No. 98171
Die-Namites "Winter Fir" DN-1117
I think this will qualify for the Mod Squad Blog Challenge this week too, so I am going share my card there as well.
Have a great weekend. I love all the great comments you leave.
God bless,
Verna

Okay, I'm looking at Duct Tape in a whole new way now. I always wondered how I could use that glittery one - now I know. Thanks for the inspiration!!! Your card is beautiful - love the silver and the red. Great use of those dies too - well done!!!
Great way to sparkle up some die! Looks great! Thanks for taking the challenge with us at the Mod Squad Challenge
Wow! I never would have thought the humble Duct Tape could be responsible for such a lovely card! Well done, Verna.

Simply super Verna. Clever you! Your card has turned out beautifully. Very Christmasy.
You are SO INGENIOUS! Love the idea of a sparkling cane, too! LOL - Verna, did you use wet glue or dry tape to adhere the red layer to the duct tape underneath? Fantastic idea, and a great way of using up the pretty tape, too! hugs, de
Very pretty and clever use of the tape!
So pretty and very festive. I just used a sparkly gift bag that was falling apart. Worked really good too. Thanks for sharing.
