When is a cherry blossom not a cherry blossom?

when it's a Christmas Wreath.....

Hello I hope you have all had a great weekend it was a mad one for us here as Phil had all the new release Match Attax delivered and guess who had to help open boxes and packets and sort into teams yep me oh joy so not a lot of crafting to be had. But I do have a card that I managed to finish off today.
For those of you that are fans of Nikky Hall and Polkadoodles you will know she has just launched her own set of dies and I was one of the lucky DT members that were sent some to play with (oh boy new toys hehehe) I had decided on a card I wanted to make and had cut my die shapes out OH my god they cut like a dream I was a little nervous when I went to try them as I have the Cut n Boss die cutting machine and with some dies it can be a little temperamental but nothing to worry about they cut beautifully. I have added pics of the dies I used and links will be below for you.

 

And this is the card I made

The card is A5 and I added another smaller white piece which I printed the greeting onto and stuck down with 3D tape, then I cut a small piece of the brown/red card and placed on the front I cut 6 windows from the door die set and added these with 3d tape.  

 

Then I set to making the wreath I cut out a circle rim as my wreath base the cut out a few of the cherry blossom branches in green card and cut them down into smaller pieces gluing to the circle, I cut out the blossom in red and shaped with a ball tool then added glitter (well it is a Christmas card) I also used the small circle die from the door set to make some berries and added these. To finish off I added some little bells with some red cord and tah dah all done
I hope you like it and I hope I have shown how versatile these dies are YES YOU DO NEED THEM!!!!!
