JAI 617 choose two - Christmas scottie dog

Hello & welcome to another project share. This is my team project for this week's Just Add Ink Choose Two challenge and my first Christmas card of 2022. The three challenge options are gingham, dots, and die cuts. How to choose from these 3 faves?

A tricky choice but I went with dots and die cuts, creating a window card with the Christmas Scottie stamp and punch bundle, Trees for Sale stamp set, free Sale-a-bration Tree Lot dies, and a lovely, foiled, dotty scalloped paper from the Lights Aglow pack as my main elements.

The Lights Aglow foiled papers really fit the dots challenge element as many of the designs include dots within patterns. Many also have a bokeh-like pattern. I used 3 prints on my card (see below).

I continued the foil theme with a 2 layer Christmas die cut tree - another challenge must. The tree is from the Tree Lot die set - only available as a Sale-a-bration freebie until 31 August (see pic below - a totally fun set with a fab layered caravan (see below and in my store).

And of course how cute is this Scottie? Especially with that cute red bow.

Inside we have another Scottie - twice the fun - on a beautiful bokeh paper print background that works well as a background seen through the front too. The handwritten look sentiment is from the Christmas Scottie stamp set too.
