Welcome back! Having a bit of fun with traditional Holiday colors as Christmas mailing due dates get nearer.
The challenges: Paper Players (#811) and Colour Hues (#144) for Heart’s Quest (#88) and Krafty Chicks (#846).
Here is the result:
Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Brushed Gold cardstock (retired but still in my collection).
- Background Panel: (5¼” x 4”) Shaded Spruce cardstock dry-embossed with the newly retired Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder.
- Cross Strip: (5¼” x 2”) Cherry Cobbler / Shaded Spruce / Gold Plaid patterned piece of paper from the retired Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.
- Shape – Heart Star: (4” x 4”) Brushed Gold cardstock die-cut with the (3⅝”) Star die from the Shining Stars Dies set, the Exclusive Product of the Month for October 2026, and the (1⅝”) Heart die from the retired Framelits Hearts Collection Dies set.
- The Star was also dry-embossed to pattern match with the Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder.
- Sentiment Strips: Shaded Spruce cardstock scrap.
- The sentiment, All Hearts Come Home For Christmas, from the retired Hearts Come Home stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with Gold Embossing Powder.
- The sentiment was cut apart and closely trimmed with Detail Scissors.
All elements were adhered to the card base. The Home block was popped up with Mini Dimensionals. The Gold Embossing looks really nice but did not photograph as well as I had hoped.
Slowly but surely the holiday stack is growing.
Thanks for spending some of your time with me today. Cheers, Jolanda!
