Welcome back to Inspiration Wednesday and today I have my last card using the Festive Christmas collection by Heartfelt Creations. I have made a special fold card for depth and dimension for the cosy scene inside the window. For instructions on how I have made this card please scroll past the photos.

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

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 pattern paper with the window frame 4 7/8” x 6 7/8” and adhere to the front of the card.  Add Ultrafine Crystal Glitter to the paper using Dries Clear Glue.

Cut a piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper 7” x 8”.  Score along the long side at 1/2”, 1”, 1 1/2”, 6 1/2”, 7” and 7 1/2”.  Fold the sides to create a small concertina effect. 

Cut another piece of pattern paper with the window frame 4 7/8” x 6 7/8” and adhere to the centre of this panel.  Die cut the window panes out using the dies from the Window Frame Die. Adhere the front panel to the base card front using strong double sided tape on each end 1/2” lining up the front image with the back image. This will create a shadow box effect.

Stamp two window frame images from the HCPC-31016 Ornate Window using Black Tuxedo ink on Neenah 80Lb Classic Crest cardstock. Colour the images with alcohol markers  and die cut one entire frame including the window panes and one with the ornate header only. Adhere the ornate header to the base frame and then adhere to the front of the shadow box. Add snow effects with Texture Paste and Ultrafine glitter.

Stamp the fruit, ivy, birds and holly eaves images from the HCPC-31026 Christmas Lantern Cling Stamp Set, HCPC-31027 Festive Berry & Birdies Cling Stamp Set and the HCPC-31028 Christmas Holly Accents Cling Stamp Sets in Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah 80LB Classic Crest Cardstock. Colour the images using alcohol markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. Die cut plain images using the coordinating dies and then adhere the coloured  images to the plain die cuts. Adhere the holly leaves on the bottom left and top right of the window frame and add the fruit images as shown. Adhere the birds with the flowers and leaves to the top right and bottom left of the window frame over the holly leaves with pop dots.  

Stamp the leaf filler image from the HCPC-31028 Christmas Holly Accents Cling Stamp Set in English Ivy ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Colour the images with Leaf Green ink and die cut with the coordinating die. Adhere around the holly and birds as shown.

Add green and pink sequins around the birds and leaves. Add Minnie Pearl Prills to the leaves on the top right and around the leaves. Add Frosting Powder randomly to the leaves with Dries Clear glue on a sponge.

To finish, stamp the Christmas Sentiment from the HCPC-31026 Christmas Lantern Cling Stamp Set in Obsidian ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and die cut with the coordinating die. Die cut a plain die from Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and adhere the stamped images to the top of the plain dies and then adhere to the top left of the card as shown.
