Stamps (Hero Arts) - Designer Snowflakes, Very Merry Christmas & Christmas Reindeer
I die cut a heart from a square of red card and embossed lots of snowflakes all over the panel. Then I applied some white ink to the edges and did a bit of distressing. After dry embossing a panel of white card, I placed it behind the heart window and then embossed the sentiment on another die cut heart. All of the pieces are popped up on foam pads and to finish I just added some gems.
As I had bits and pieces left over from making the card, I decided to use them to make a small card to act as a gift card holder.

Again I just embossed snowflakes on the large heart left over from making the first card. This time I added a bit of silver embossing on the sentiment and stitched line holding the heart ornament. To finish I added a gem, a bow and a little pocket on the inside to hold the gift card.
I'm submitting these cards into Simons Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge and the current Hero Arts challenge (A Few of My Favourite Things category, as I love stamping and embossing and also love using individual stamps to make a background).
Tonight we'll be watching one of our favourite programmes that really signals the start of the Christmas season for us here - The Late Late Toy Show . So we'll be setting down with a big bowl of popcorn, hot chocolate and will make some s'mores by the fire - ah bliss! Hope your weekend gets off to a great start too:)
Sounds like you're going to have the perfect, family night, Heather - enjoy! :)

ReplyDeleteAre you capable of making cards that don't make me swoon? :)) Just love your design, perfect for your hubs, not too gushy, but filled with love. And then using the cut out to make another project - genius! As always, impeccably done, Heather!

ReplyDeleteI still can't believe it's Dec already! I better get crackin' on my Christmas cards.
What a trio of pure delight, Heather! I love how you didn't let a scrap go to waste. Hearts are one of my very favorite elements - I need to use them more. Your red is so rich and yummy! I shall check out that movie, as I haven't heard of it. Thanks for sharing.
