Heart of Christmas - Week 10

Hello and welcome everyone to Week 10 of the Heart of Christmas blog hop from members of the Art with Heart Stampin' Up! Team.

I had much more time this week to create a fun-fold card that I had only made once before a really long time ago. It's called a Pull Tab card and the magic is still there for me.

I reached for my pack of Lights Aglow Specialty DSP once more. This time I chose the Soft Succulent snowflake and star pattern that coordinates beautifully with the gold foil stars on the three inch topper square. I love the look of the bokeh dotted background in the main pattern. They could be twinkling fairy lights or softly falling snow.

I love to mix & match stamp sets. The two sentiments I chose are from Trimming the Tree in our Annual Catalogue and Brightest Glow from the Mini Catalogue. They compliment each other perfectly even though they are from two different stamp sets. They are stamped in Evening Evergreen which is the colour of the card base and pull-tab.

I have used a scalloped circle die to create the pull-tab end as I didn't have a punch that was suitable for the task. It was easy to do and matches the scalloped gold foil circle that sits behind the front sentiment.

I used two lengths of gold twine from the Simply Elegant trim pack to tie the knot and bow.

Inside the card is a layered writing panel and it’s trimmed with strips of the snowflake DSP. After the photo was taken I added three gold foil die cut stars to the bottom of the DSP strip to match the two on the hidden sentiment square.

So much sparkle and gold! The addition of three gold festive pearls was just the right amount of embellishment I thought.

You'll find thumbnail images below of the Stampin' Up! products I used to create my card. Each one is linked to my online store.

That's it from me tonight everyone, thanks so much for stopping by on your way through our hop.
