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.

Heart of Christmas - Week 14

Hi Everyone, Here we are at week 14 of the Heart of Christmas Blog-Hop. With only 4 more Wednesdays before Christmas not counting this one there isn't long to go now.

This week I have gone for a simple but elegant look (or at least I think so).

I started with a Gray Granite card base and added at Cherry Cobbler layer before adding 3 strips of Joyous Noel DSP. I then added a copper foil strip and a Cherry cobbler strip across the front of the card before Layering my sentiment onto Copper Foil and Cherry Cobbler.

I stamped my sentiment using the peaceful Noel Stamp set and Cherry Cobbler ink. I mounted the 3 layers together and then added dimensionals before placing this on the front of the card.

 

Using the same stamp set I stamped the insert using Cherry Cobbler and Tranquil Tide ink on Whisper White card.
All the items used in this project can be found in the 2018 - 2019 Annual Catalogue and the 2018 Holiday Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any or all of these products please give me a call or email so that I might help you with your purchase.

Colour Creations - Gray Granite

Hi Everyone, Well we are at the end of the G's with Gray Granite, and I love it.
I have chosen to used the Beautiful You stamp set as I think it just sets it off. I started with a Gray Granite card base and add the copper foil sheet before added another layer using the Joyous Noel DSP. Even though this DSP is classed as Christmas I thought it went really well in my theme.

I then added a Early Espresso layer on an angle before adding my Whisper White Layer stamped with my lady image. I copied this over to the sentiment tag and using my White Gel pen I added a stitch line on the dark layer and on the White layer I used the Gray Granite Marker for the stitching. I finished off the front with metallic pearls.

I kept the insert very simple stamping on more Whisper White card in Gray Granite ink.
All items in this project are in the current 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue, if you would like to purchase all or any of these items please give me a call.
