Christmas Blessings

Hello! I have been playing with more patterned paper from Heartfelt Creations Festive Holly Collection. I used a panel of Cardinals in a Holly Bush  from the paper collection that I stamped with a Christmas sentiment with Memento Red Ink and embossed with Cuttlebug Allegro EF.  I added glossy accents to the berries and birds' beaks for texture. Trimmed the panel and attached to a card base of GKD red cardstock. I added some red gems and a die cut Poinsettia with a center of gold glitter to finish.  The flower was cut from the HFC paper with dies from Creative Dies.

Winter Scene

Welcome!  Today I am sharing a Christmas card made with a patterned papers from Heartfelt Creations Festive Holly Collection. The card  was stamped with a sentiment from my stash and embossed with Silver EP.  I finished with a green mat and blue card base.  Used Marvy Snow Marker to add texture to the snow and used Darice Snowflakes EF.

Holiday Tissue Box Cover

Hello!  I thought I'd change things up a bit on my blog and post something other that a card.  I also enjoy making other paper projects especially those using patterned papers.  I created this tissue box cover using papers from Heartfelt Creations Festive Holly Collections. It was simply a matter of cutting panels, scoring, and taping them together but it took a little planning to match up the pattern designs. On the lid I added an oval border of white glossy CS to the oval opening and some die cut snowflakes from silver and glitter papers. Also did some snowflakes heat embossed with Silver EP.  Kept embellishments to a minimum but did fussy cut some Cardinals from the patterns to pop up on the lid. (See right side of the box).

Merry Little Christmas

Welcome!  Changing seasons up a bit ….going from fall to Christmas cards.  I recently received some Heartfelt Creations paper pads that I bought with a prize that I won.  The paper that I used on this card is from the Festive Holly Collection.  I trimmed the first panel and placed on a red mat and then on a white panel embossed with Snowflakes lightly inked with blue ink.  Added texture to the scene with a Snow Marker and Glossy Accents.  Placed this on a card base of the  GKD Red CS.  Did not have to stamp a sentiment since it was printed already on the panel.  I attached another panel to the inside which I will complete later with a stamped or handwritten note on a white panel. (See below). Card made without use of stamps.
