Tag: Hearts Come Home

So here it is, my last Christmas card this year. Unless I change my mind and make more of course, but that is unlikely.

Like my last post, these cards also use the Hearts Come Home stamp set, but this time I’ve teamed it with the Hometown Greeting edgelits. Aren’t those egdelits wonderful? Love them.

I used all three of the detailed dies for these cards, and layered them up. They are so cleverly done, with the top layer having a little gap so that the church spire from the next row down can fit in.

For the sky I started with Pool Party card, then sponged some Dapper Denim on to it. It’s not completely smooth which gives it some dimension and it looks like a snowy sky I think.

You can see that I coloured the trees on one of the cards, and just added some Wink of Stella on the other.

What took the most time when making these cards was popping out all the little bits from the die cuts!

What’s coming next? I don’t know, you’ll have to come back and see.

This is the last but one Christmas card that I have to show you – if you haven’t made yours by now then you’re really leaving it til the last minute!

These cards use the Hearts Come Home stamp set. It’s available as a bundle with the Hometown Greetings Edgelits dies – buy the bundle and get 10% discount. See my next post for the Edgelits.

This is a simple card that looks great nonetheless. I die cut a circle from the Stiched Shape Framelits set and stamped in a house and trees from the stamp set. Not forgetting Santa of course!

Then I added a silver or copper circle around it and put that on Whisper White mat that I had embossed using the Softly Falling embossing folder.

Add a heat embossed sentiment and you’re done!

A little tip regarding the ink pads. My Real Red ink pad has always been so juicy that I’ve rarely used it. Well, I got fed up with that, what’s the point of having it and not using it? So, I ran the open pad across my grid paper to soak up some of the ink, and now it works like a dream!

So, if your ink pads seem a little juicy – if the bubble when you use them – try getting rid of some of the ink.

My next card also uses the Hearts Come Home stamp set with the matching edgelits.
