I have had the Memory Box Lady Dancing die for a while but just couldn't come up with a design to use it on a card. I embossed four stripes of white cardstock using the Cuttlebug Winter Bundle embossing folder and trimmed them to create banners for the background. I then die cut a Spellbinders Nestabilities Floral Oval with white cardstock and a Spellbinders standard oval using glittered cardstock. After attaching the ovals to each other I die cut the Dancing Lady with white cardstock and then just the dress die with a patterned cardstock and glued them together. I used the Memory Box Meridian Border to trim the banners and die cut a Circle then embossed the Merry Christmas from the Sizzix Christmas set.

Beautiful and very striking!! I love how you've used the same part of the ef for your banners, and the ballerina is perfect! What a treasure of a Christmas card!

Great red and white Christmas card! I really like the way you've used the glitter oval behind the dancer and repeated the rounded shapes across the bottom of the banners and for the sentiment. Really lovely card!
