Hello! Today I am sharing a Christmas card created with a new Penny Black sentiment set 30-849 Hearts Come Home paired with their Christmas products from past years. This sentiment aptly expresses my thoughts about Christmas!
- For the background, stamp 40-706 Snowflake Pattern in white ink on Taylored Expressions Red Pepper cardstock.
- Stamp 30-849 Hearts Come Home in black ink on white cardstock and cut with the 51-053 A Pocket Full die. Use same die to cut vellum.
- From Noble Fir cardstock, cut boughs with 51-659 Beautiful Baubles die (four times). Adhere boughs.
- Cut 51-275 Winter Lantern from Brushed Gold cardstock and red cardstock. Back gold lanterns with white cardstock. Trim red candles and apply Yellow Stickles for flames. When dry, adhere to gold lanterns.
- Add sentiment, vellum, boughs, and lanterns to card base.
I have used the 51-275 Winter Lantern set previously here and here. I used the 51-659 Beautiful Baubles set here.
I like so many things about this card. Love the vellum underlay, the double pine boughs, the background stamping and most of all that sentiment. Great card!
Just love your pine fronds & lanterns framing the sentiment, Jean! Pretty snowflake background too!!
Nicely designed.
