I have another Christmas card to share with you featuring the fabulous Holiday Star collection from Heartfelt Creations. Coming from New Zealand I am loving the non-traditional colours and images because our Christmas is in the middle of summer and there is no snow in sight!

For more details of the products I have used please visit here.

Today’s project was created with products provided by Heartfelt Creations.

Scroll down past the photos for instructions on how to make this card.

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 blue cardstock 5” x 7” and adhere to the front of the card.  Cut a piece of blue pattern paper 4 7/8” x 6 7/8” and adhere over the blue cardstock.

Die cut the outline frame using the No. 1 die from the HCD2-7383 Simply Classic Rectangle Frame die out of blue cardstock.  Die cut the silver decorative frame using the No. 2 die from the HCD2-7383 Simply Classic Rectangle Frame die out of silver cardstock and adhere to the front of the outer frame.  Inset some of the offcuts to create a decorative frame.  Die the dark blue pattern paper using the No. 2 frame and adhere the blue inner to inside the silver frame.
