For the First Day of the Blog Hop-I chose to use the Print & Cut feature on my Cameo. This file is a whole card that I printed first on my printer then cut out on my cameo. The file only included the blue area inward. It didn't include the red outer lining. When I print & cut this file, I didn't feel that the the card was sturdy enough. So, I took the file and created an outer lining about a 1/4 of an inch around the card and cut it out of red card stock. Then using my trimmer I cut along the fold and placed it on top of the red card base.
After I was happy with how the base and the print & cut turned out -I looked at the card a little more and decided that it needed some dimension. I went through my "red" button jar and found just the right size buttons that can be placed on top of the Holly Berries. With some cream colored floss I was able to and lace it through them and adhere with a glue dot to the printed card.
