Hi fellow crafters! Welcome to this weeks Heart of Christmas blog hop. I’m hopping along with fellow stampers on the Art With Heart team to showcase some wonderful Christmas projects every week until end of November. We’re into Week 7!
I’m easing back in after my daughter recently broke her foot and then I had a respiratory virus last week. I kept saying to the family…you know I must be sick if I don’t have the energy to craft! So I’m feeling much better and have more energy to get some craft projects completed.
This weeks card uses the Boughs of Holly DSP. As I don’t have the coordinating stamp and die bundle and use Holly and berry images I decided to fussy cut the poinsettia flowers from the DSP itself and arrange as a wreath on my card. The card measures 5” x 5” inches square.
The Basic White mat has been dry embossed using the Brick 3D embossing folder and adhered to the Basic White card base.
After arranging the poinsettia flowers in a wreath I added the Festive Pearls to the centres of the large flowers.
The sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set is stamped in Real Red ink and die cut with a label die using the Sending die set. A double bow tied using the Evening Evergreen Windowpane Check ribbon has been adhered with a glue dot.
For the inside of the card I stamped another sentiment from the same stamp set in Real Red ink. A small strip of Boughs of Holly DSP was adhered at the bottom together with a poinsettia flower off cut which I’ve added to the edge as it wasn’t the full flower. I try not to waste if I can!

ReplyDeleteWhat a perfectly beautiful card Rosa! Great work on the fussy cutting - that DSP is so gorgeous! I really love that you have used the brick embossing folder on white, and then matched it perfectly with a similar grid pattern on the ribbon - to me, that is a stroke of genius. I love it!
