Heart and Craft

Here is a Christmas Card, cased from Marelle, that uses Party Hearty!  I especially love the buttons at the bottom right!

Stamp Sets: Party Hearty, Many Merry Messages.

DSP: Good Morning Sunshine.

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White.

Inks: Kiwi Kiss (and then the top of the hat stamp coloured in with Ruby Red marker). Chocolate Chip.

Accessories: Button Bouquet, Riding Hood Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Stamp a majic. White cotton.

Do you love the buttons but don’t have the budget to have buttons on your cards?  Would you like to learn how to make faux buttons?  Stay tuned….

Are you starting to get an idea of how adaptable Circle Circus is….here is another use for it…Christmas Cards!

This card was given to me in swap at Regionals.  When I find the original I’ll update the artist’s details here.

Circle Circus has been used with the swirls from “Priceless”, plus the strings from “Tree Trimmings” (from the Spring Mini – now retired) and some ribbon from the Summer Mini.

The stamping has been done onto Real Red Cardstock with versamark and white embossing powder and then heat set.

As soon as I saw this card here I just knew I wanted to make one:

• Stamp Set: Baroque Motifs.
• Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Regal Rose, Whisper White, Cardstock Vellum.
• Ink: Certainly Celery.
• Accessories: Large Oval Punch, Small Oval Punch, 1 Inch Circle Punch, Regal Rose Grosgrain Ribbon, Tombow glue, Dazzling Diamonds.

This card is just a variation on the above card, with a Christmas twist…

The colours here are Handsome Hunter and Ruby Red.  The ribbon was from the Spring Mini and is now retired
