Warm Holiday Wishes with Dare 2B Artzy

November 24, 2025

Hello, crafty friends—welcome back!
Today I’m excited to share another festive holiday card featuring some gorgeous goodies from Dare 2B Artzy.

For this design, I paired the Botanic Background Die with the elegant bells from the Peace and Joy stamp set. I started by stamping the bells and coloring them in a classic holiday palette using my Sketchmarker Pro alcohol markers. After die-cutting them with the coordinating die, I set them aside and got to work on the background.

I cut the Botanical Background die from a rich, dark green cardstock.
Crafty Tip: If you ever need extra greenery for your projects, this die is a must-have! Simply cut it from your favorite cardstock and snip apart the foliage to use on cards, tags, or any holiday project that needs a touch of nature.

To make the greenery pop, I backed the die-cut with matte gold cardstock, trimming the gold panel about 1/16″ larger to create a subtle, elegant border. A bit of liquid glue secured the background in place, and then I added the colored bells on top with dimensional foam for a little lift.

For the sentiment, I stamped and heat-embossed “Warm Holiday Wishes” with clear embossing powder and used the coordinating strip die to cut it out. I layered it over a strip of the Special Delivery cardstock from Dare 2B Artzy’s holiday paper collection and snipped fishtail ends for a polished finish.

To tie everything together, I scattered red gems around the greenery and added two larger golden-yellow gems to the bell clappers—they were the perfect size and added just the right amount of sparkle.
