I'm posting today with a mid-month reminder about the CAS Christmas Card Challenge - you have until 8/24 to link your card! Our theme this month is Decorations!
For my reminder card, I used a Toy Soldier Die from Sizzix. It's an older die and was on sale last year at Sizzix for really cheap! (It's still on sale for $8.00!) He's the perfect size for an A2 card too!
I simply die cut the pieces out of the colors I wanted and assembled the Toy Soldier. I used 3 of the frames from Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frames from MFT to place behind my soldier, one cut from metallic gold and two cut from white card. At first I just had the white frames - but felt I needed the outer frame in gold to define the space better. I adhered the soldier with foam dots over the frames. I added a tiny yellow rhinestone to his hat plume.
We hope to see your decorations on a CAS Christmas card over at the CAS Christmas Card Challenge!
Accessories: Toy Soldier Die - Tim Holtz/Sizzix, Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frames - MFT, foam dots, Tiny Twinkles - Taylored Expressions.

Very cute toy soldier to brighten up your card. Love the frames to showcase your soldier.
Great deal on this cute toy soldier! At first, I thought he was supposed to be a nutcracker. *lol*😂. The framing highlights him beautifully.
What a fun Christmas card, Julia! Love this "wooden" soldier all decked out in red and white! The gold frames him perfectly!
Oh I love this toy soldier card, Julia! You framed him perfectly with stitched scallop design and dimension. The gold outer frame definitely gives definition and a finished feeling to the card! A wonderful design choice!

Lovely Julia. I've got an old die similar to this... almost forgotten about it. Thanks for inspiring me.

Your toy soldier is so striking, Julia! I love the bold red against all that fabulous white space, and how you placed the gold border around the perimeter...such a beautiful Christmas card! xx
Great toy soldier! Love the way you used gold and white to frame him.
