Hello!! Got some time yesterday to make another Christmas card. This one is for the current Merry Monday Christmas challenge of how will you decorate your door, as well as the Hero Arts holiday card challenge. I was on a mission to use my September My Monthly Hero card kit and when I saw the Merry Monday challenge I knew the inspiration I needed. I started by created my wreath using one of the wreath dies from the kit as well as a branch die that comes in the kit. I die cut the wreath from a brownish cardstock and the branch from hunter green. I then layered them together. Some little berries were die cut using a die from the add-on Hero Arts stamp and die set called Christmas Trimmings. Once I had the wreath done I got started on my door. I die cut the rectangles using a small Spellbinders rectangle die and a small Spellbinders long rectangle die. The pieces were then adhered to a piece of white cardstock that was trimmed down to create the door. I added a little brushed metal brad for my door knob. I adhered the door to a red cardstock base and then added my wreath. My wreath is kinda oversized for my door, but I have seen doors with oversized wreaths on them! For some sparkle I added some Crystal Stickles to some of the greenery and the little berries. The twine bow was adhered and then finished things off by stamping the sentiment from Christmas Trimmings, die cutting it with the matching dies and adhering it to the wreath. So there you have it... that is how I will decorate this door, lol!! 
Supplies: Cardstock: white; SU! Soft Suede, Hunter and Real Red; Stamps: Hero Arts; Dies: Hero Arts and Spellbinders; Ink: SU! Real Red; brushed metal brad
