Heart of Christmas - Week 2

Hi Everyone, here we are with week 2 of the beautiful Heart of Christmas 2019 Blog Hop. Wow there were some lovely cards and inspiration last week, I think we all are going to have some more beautiful cards and decorations again with week. My card this week is based on a card Called a "Double Gate Fold Card".

My Card uses the beautiful Christmas Gleaming Bundle, Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper and the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing folder all on page 31 of the Holiday Catalogue. I also used the Delicata Metallic ink in Copper (Page 16) to stamp my lovely holly and I used the Granny apple Green and Seaside Spray in light and dark to colour the holly before fussy cutting them out.

Once you remove the Belly Band and open the card you can see that I have punched out even more of the lovely ornaments and 1 3/4 inch circles to mount everything onto I used the Hammered Metal embossing folder to add texture to the circles and then added the Merry Christmas at the bottom to finish off the inside of the card........Where do you sign the card do I hear you ask? well...........

On the Back of the card I have added 3 Whisper White panels and stamped across the 3 panels before gluing them into place and this is where you write your message.
This card is really stunning and easy to make. All the items used in this project are available from the 4th September 2019 - 2nd January 2020 in the Holiday Catalogue, so if you would like to purchase all or any of these products please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

HEART OF CHRISTMAS 2019 - Week 1

Hello Everyone, wow has it been a year since the last Heart of Christmas Blog Hop, where has the time gone. But as I love Christmas it's a very special time of year and it makes me happy I was grateful to be able to join in again this year. Thanks to the lovely Claire Daly for organizing this event.
My first project for the year is a very simple one and you will be able to see my YOUTUBE video of this card on the 1st September 2019 when is goes live.

 I have used the beautiful "Feels Like Frost" DSP for this project and I think is comes up a treat. these papers are just to die for (Well I think they are). So I have 2 cards one in Purple Posy and Highland Heather and the other in Balmy Blue and Night of Navy. I used the Rhinestones form bother the Annual catalogue and the Holiday Catalogue they are the Pretty peacock and the Holiday rhinestones and they are perfect of this project as they match so well. I also used the layering rectangle dies to make the layers. I stamped my Merry Christmas in Gorgeous Grape and the other using the Shimmer White Embossing Powder I then finished off with the Wink of Stella to give the sparkle to the frost.

I made one of the cards as a top fold and the other as a side fold just to be different and I like both ways. I added a 1 inch piece of DSP on the side and stamped using the Christmas Gleaming stamp set. I layered the inside to match the outside as for me this just set the tone.
All the items used in these projects can be found in both the Annual 2019-2020 Catalogue and the New Holiday Catalogue that goes live on the 4th September 2019 if you would like to purchase all or any of the items used here please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.
