HOC Week 14 – Christmas Tidings

Heart of Christmas Blog Header 2021

Each Monday evening until mid-December, I am taking part in the Heart of Christmas blog hop showcasing our amazing range of holiday products from the Annual and July-December Mini catalogues. Please hop along and enjoy some fabulous inspiration from our talented team!

Tonight I am using the Tidings of Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Paper and the Christmas Season Bundle and that beautiful White Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

The label is die cut in Sahara Sand, one of the colours in this Designer Paper and before removing the card from the die after running through the machine, I flipped it over and ran a stylus around thr edges to get that lovely embossed border. The leaf images are stamped in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent. Check out that gorgeous shiny silver foil star (Stitched Stars dies)! A few Rhinestone Jewels were dotted around.

On the inside, I added a matt layer of Sahara Sand behind some Basic White and a strip of the same DSP down the right side.
