I have some more Christmas inspiration this month with the Holiday Star collection from Heartfelt Creations. I had so much fun creating this non-traditional card with stunning purple poinsettias and the festive sentiments make Christmas cards so easy to make.

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 silver cardstock 5” x 7” and adhere to the front of the card.  Cut a piece of dark purple paper 4 7/8” x 6 7/8”, sponge the edge with Periwinkle ink and adhere over the silver cardstock.

Die cut the outer frame out of light purple pattern paper using the No. 1 day from the HCPC-7363 Holiday Snowflake Frame Die and repeat with light purple cardstock.  Adhere the pattern paper frame to the purple frame, sponge the edges with Periwinkle ink, and adhere to the front of the card. Stamp the Merry Christmas image from the HCPC-3995 Starry Holiday Greetings on purple pattern paper using embossing ink and heat emboss with silver embossing ink. Using the No. 2 and No. 3 dies from the HCPC-7363 Holiday Snowflake Frame Die die cut three decorative frames – one out of previously stamped purple pattern paper, one out of purple cardstock and one out of silver cardstock.  Adhere the purple pattern paper frame to the purple frame.  Sponge the edges with Periwinkle ink and adhere to the centre of the card.  Adhere the silver frame outside of the decorative die as shown.  Stamp the Merry Christmas image from the HCPC-3995 Starry Holiday Greetings Cling Stamp set using embossing ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and heat emboss with silver embossing powder.  Die cut with the coordinating die.  Die cut two plain dies out of purple cardstock and stack together with the silver letters on the top.  Adhere the sentiment over the stamped image on the front of the card.

Stamp the large and small spray images from the HCPC-3959 Holly Berry Spray Cling Stamp Set in English Ivy on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper.  Colour the leaves with Leaf Green ink and die cut with the coordinating dies. Add Crystal Clear glitter to the leaves with clear gloss gel medium and a paintbrush.  Adhere a large and small spray to the top right of the card and two small sprays to the bottom left of the card. 

Stamp the small spray image from the HCPC-3958 Small Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp set in English Ivy ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper.  Colour the leaves with Leaf Green ink and die cut with the coordinating die.  Shape using the coordinating die and add Crystal Clear glitter using clear gloss gel medium and a paintbrush.  Adhere to the top right and the bottom left to create a base for the flowers.

Stamp the small flower images from the HCPC-3957 Large Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp set in Paris Dusk ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper.  Colour the images with Periwinkle, Violet and Magenta Hue inks and die cut with the coordinating dies.  Colour the backs of the petals with Periwinkle in and then shape using the coordinating mold and assemble with two of each size petal.  Pierce the centres of the flowers and insert the silver pearl stamens and secure them with Dries Clear glue.  Add Crystal Clear glitter using clear gloss gel medium and a paintbrush.  Trim the stamen threads and adhere over the holly sprays with a hot glue gun – one large and one small flower to the top right and one medium and one small flower to the bottom right of the card

Stamp the leaf images from the HCPC-3957 Large Festive Poinsettia Cling Stamp set in English Ivy ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper.  Colour the leaves with Leaf Green and English Ivy inks and die cut with the coordinating die.  Colour the backs of the leaves with Leaf Green ink and shape using the coordinating mold.  Add Crystal Clear glitter using clear gloss gel medium, trim and adhere around the flowers.

Stamp the small leaf spray from the HCPC-3959 Holly Berry Spray Cling Stamp Set in English Ivy ink and die cut with the coordinating die.  Trim and adhere around the flowers and sprays as shown.

Welcome back and today I am so excited with the debut of the stunning Candlelit Christmas collection from Heartfelt Creations.

The snow is gently falling, the decorating has been done, and the soft glow from the candles in the window invite you to just sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful side of the holiday season! Flickering candlelight is always a cozy welcome addition to any Christmas festivities, and is a lovely way to create a warm and welcoming ambiance, allowing for a stillness that leads to reflections of the season! Steeped in traditions for centuries, illuminated candles have been associated with the yuletide season in various ways…from being placed in the window offering a warm welcome to travelers from afar, to representing the Star of Bethlehem guiding the Wise Men to the birthplace of Jesus Christ, to setting the ambiance to a family Christmas dinner! Whether you enjoy the brilliance of candlelit lanterns, grand candelabras or a glowing votive, there is no denying the beautiful luminescence candles bring to the advent season! Join us as we leave behind the hustle and bustle and take time to reflect on the calmer side of the holiday season with the new Candlelit Christmas Collection! Become enraptured in a glimmering paper collection hued in brilliant blues, garland greens and holly berry reds, ensconced in illustrations of glowing candlelit lanterns, pretty centerpieces, and gladdening poinsettias, all dipped in elegant snowflake patterns, breathtaking brocades and festive floral clusters! A brilliant assembling of cling stamp sets, along with coordinating dies, offer radiant illustrations of festive lanterns, stunning ornamental centerpieces and beautifully scripted sentiments, perfect for embellishing all of your Christmas themed paper crafting creations. Stamp, die cut and shape an assortment of traditional flowering poinsettias, along with decorative holly accents quickly and easily with the coordinating cling stamp set, dies and dimensional shaping mold, allowing you to assemble realistic holiday poinsettias ideal for accenting handmade holiday greeting cards, scrapbook layouts, and heirloom albums!  So, join us as we light our favorite candles, take in the beauty of the holiday season, and enjoy the shimmer and incandescence of the Candlelit Christmas Collection!

These poinsettias are just so easy to create and it is fun to make them in different colours.  Today I am sharing an easel shaker card – check out the deer in the snow!
