Week 20 - Heart of Christmas 2021


Welcome to Week 20 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. Can you believe we are nearly at the end of our Heart of Christmas Blog hops for 2021, just another couple of weeks to go.

This week I am going to show you a quick card that I saw on line from a friend in the US and I thought it was just sweet and simple and you could make multiple of this without much effect.

For this card I have used a lot of tone on tone with the Very Vanilla card stock and I have used the lovely large Angel from Angels of Peace. It is such a beautiful stamp.

I started with the Thick Very Vanilla card base and then on regular Very Vanilla I embossed using the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder as we all know Angels love to sing! Before adhering the sheet music to the card base I have wrapped around the scalloped lace ribbon and tied a bow. 

I have then stamped the Angel in Basic Gray onto a piece of Very Vanilla which I have cut to size and then die cut a border on the side with the Basic Border Dies. Doesn't it look like the Angel is singing in the clouds! Adhere that on with some dimensionals and then attach a small sentiment and you can be finished or you could add some genial gems.

I decided that I would add a little bling to the card with the genial gems and by adding some colour to the Angel with the stampin' blends. Either way the Angel is still singing and you can make multiple of this card in no time.

I can't wait for it to be Monday so I get to see all the fantastic Christmas creations.

So this card is quick and you can use this gorgeous Peaceful Place Specialty Paper it is just beautiful and I decided to let it do all the talking this week.

To accompany the Peaceful Place SDSP I have used Evening Evergreen as the card base and layered it with Silver Foil added a little Evening Evergreen Open Weave ribbon and Genial Gems after I had stamped the greeting from the stamp set For Unto Us in Evening Evergreen.

On the inside of the card I have carried the same theme through and added the silver foil and the strip along the bottom of the Peaceful Place SDSP that I had trimmed from the front.

You could do this with any colour you liked, Night of Navy would be fantastic as Blue and Silver go so well together or even Real Red and Cherry Cobbler and use the Holiday Rhinestone Gems or the Red Rhinestone gems to add your bling. The possibilities are endless.

If you have any questions about my card today or would like to get your hands on some goodies to make some quick cards yourself just hit my contact button anytime.
