STAMPIN' UP! HEART OF CHRISTMAS - WEEK 19

 

Every Monday night, until the end of November, a group of us shares Christmas projects made with Stampin' Up! products.  It seems most of my Christmas cards lately have been green (I can't get enough of the two new In Color greens), so I made a conscious effort to focus on red for tonight's card.

The gingham background paper, and the DSP strip behind the die-cut "cheer" are from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper pack.  The colours in this pack are Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow and Real Red, so I've co-ordinated the elements of my card design with the paper.

The sentiment (both stamped and die-cut parts) is from the Words of Cheer bundle.  Onto the gingham background, I adhered a vertical strip of Basic White card that I had embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  A narrower strip of Heartwarming Hugs DSP then provides a mat for the die cut word.  I die-cut "CHEER" from Real Red card (making sure to use Adhesive Sheet on the back of the card, to create letter stickers - no mess!).  These letters are stuck to a base layer of Cork Specialty Paper, that I thought went nicely with the Crumb Cake card base.  Before sticking down the double-layered word, I added a wreath (see below).

Here's a close up of the lovely textures and patterns:

  

I die cut, from Mossy Meadow card, a wreath using the Seasonal Swirls Dies.  Holly leaf sprigs (from Christmas Cheer Dies) were cut from Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow card, and added to the wreath.

A Real Red satin bow, and Wonderful Gems, finish off the card.
