Welcome to Week 20 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. Can you believe we are nearly at the end of our Heart of Christmas Blog hops for 2021, just another couple of weeks to go.
This week I am going to show you a quick card that I saw on line from a friend in the US and I thought it was just sweet and simple and you could make multiple of this without much effect.
For this card I have used a lot of tone on tone with the Very Vanilla card stock and I have used the lovely large Angel from Angels of Peace. It is such a beautiful stamp.
I started with the Thick Very Vanilla card base and then on regular Very Vanilla I embossed using the Merry Melody 3D embossing folder as we all know Angels love to sing! Before adhering the sheet music to the card base I have wrapped around the scalloped lace ribbon and tied a bow.
I have then stamped the Angel in Basic Gray onto a piece of Very Vanilla which I have cut to size and then die cut a border on the side with the Basic Border Dies. Doesn't it look like the Angel is singing in the clouds! Adhere that on with some dimensionals and then attach a small sentiment and you can be finished or you could add some genial gems.
I decided that I would add a little bling to the card with the genial gems and by adding some colour to the Angel with the stampin' blends. Either way the Angel is still singing and you can make multiple of this card in no time.
Now is the time to head to the next person on our Heart of Christmas Journey and this week it will be the lovely Tina Gillespie. I love to see how she interprets a card sketch each week to help us get our Christmas card stash up an so that we will have plenty of cards ready to go for Christmas.

Stunning. Are Sharon, I love your use of the cloud border dies on these cards. I slightly prefer the coloured image.
Very pretty cards, Sharon. Yes, that border die does make it look like your angels are singing in the clouds; just lovely. The Very Vanilla is very calming, and I especially like the angel with touches of colour. Such sweet cards. x
Oh my goodness, yes, she is singing in the clouds - what a great way to use that border die! I love the soft touch of colour and that you have used Very Vanilla instead of white, for a warmer tone. Beautiful xx
Oh, how pretty! My first thought was that the angel was sining in the clouds, LOL. They are both so beautiful, but I do love the touches of colour on your second card - just the right amount.
Sharon that angel is a real beauty and I love what you have done with the tone on tone layers and the cloud border die. The colours in the angel match perfectly with the genisl gems.
Sharon, that is the most genius use of the border die - how clever to bring together the border die, the embossed background and the angel - would it be too corny to say, they are all a match made in heaven?
Your cards may be simple Sharon but they are also very pretty and ever so sweet. The embossed background really sets off the perfect angel.
