Time for some more Inspiration Wednesday from Heartfelt Creations and today I have another Christmas card featuring the gorgeous Home for the Holidays collection.
For a list of products I have used please visit my blog here: https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/gallery/berry-merry-christmas
This is the first of three blog posts today.
Instructions:
Cut a piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper 10” x 7”, score at 5” along the long side and fold to create a base card of 5” x 7”. Cut a piece of silver cardstock 5” x 7” and adhere to the front of the card. Cut a piece of dark green paper 4 7/8” x 6 7/8” and adhere to the front of the card. Die cut a decorative die out of pattern paper using the No. 1 die from the HCD2-7363 Holiday Snowflake Frame Die and adhere to the front of the card.
Die cut the decorative frame using the No. 2 die from the HCD2-7363 Holiday Snowflake Frame Die set in Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Die cut two decorative frames using the No. 2 and No. 3 dies from the HCD2-7363 Holiday Snowflake Frame Die and adhere to the white decorative die. Die cut the inner decorative paper using the image with the truck from the back using the No. 3 die from the HCD2-7363 Holiday Snowflake Frame Die and adhere to the inside of the decorative frame. Stamp the same truck image from the HCPC-3961 Home for the Holidays Cling Stamp Set in Jet Black ink on Iris cardstock twice. Colour the images with Zig Clean Colour Brush markers and die cut with the coordinating dies – one complete scene and one with the truck and snowman images only. Add glittery snow with Dries White and Crystal Ultrafine glitter. When dry, add the truck with foam tape and the snowman. Colour some small clear sparkles with alcohol markers and adhere to the lights on the truck. Colour medium size clear sparkles with yellow alcohol ink and adhere over the car lights. Adhere this to the image in the centre of the frame with foam tape. Add Frosting Powder to the outside of the card with Dries Clear glue on a sponge.
Stamp the smaller poinsettia images from the HCPC-3957 Large Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set and the HCPC-3958 Small Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set in Mulberry ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Colour the centres with Sunflower ink and the petals with Vermillion ink and die cut with the coordinating dies. Colour the backs of the flowers with Vermillion ink and die cut with the coordinating molds. Assemble using two petals of each size and insert yellow bead stamens through the centres. I have used 7 stamens for the larger flowers and 5 stamens for the smaller flowers. To finish the flowers add Crystal Clear glitter using clear gloss gel medium. Add a large flower and two smaller flowers to the top left of the frame a small flower to the bottom right as shown.
Stamp the small poinsettia spray from the HCPC-3958 Small Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set in Library Green ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Colour the leaves with Leaf Green and Olive inks and die cut with the coordinating die. Colour the back of the leaves with Leaf Green ink and shape using the coordinating mold. Add Crystal Clear glitter to the leaves with clear gloss gel medium. Add the sprays to each side of the large and small poinsettias as shown.
Stamp the leaf image from the HCPC-3957 Large Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set in Library Green ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Colour the image with Leaf Green and Olive inks and die cut with the coordinating die. Colour the back of the leaves with Leaf Green ink and shape with the coordinating mold. Add Crystal Clear glitter using clear gloss gel medium, trim and adhere behind the large poinsettia as shown.
Stamp the small leaf spray image from the HCPC-3959 Holly Berry Spray Cling Stamp Set in Library Green ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and die cut with the coordinating die. Adhere the leaf image on the bottom right as shown.
To make the berries stamp the smaller poinsettia images from the HCPC-3957 Large Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set and the HCPC-3958 Small Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set in Mulberry ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Colour the stamens that come with the flowers with Vermillion ink and die cut with the coordinating die. Shape using the coordinating mold and add Red Berry Nuvo Drops to the images. When dry add a small splash of Simply White Nuvo Drops to create a highlight. Add to the bottom right and top left as shown with small foam squares.
Die cut the snowflake images out of silver cardstock, trim and adhere around the flowers and leaves as shown.
