Welcome to week 17 of the Heart of Christmas for 2022. We have just 5 more weeks after today of our Christmas inspiration to bring to you! Ssh! I don't think I am ready for it to be nearly December!

Today I am channeling my dear friend Caroline Manwaring the queen of the embossing folders and I also saw a similar card to this by Laura Du Bois so I am so casing her colour scheme and layout just using different products!

I so loved the simple elegance of the white on white with the touches of Soft Sea Foam and gold that I just had to make this card with some of our current products!

The card base is a Thick Basic White which I have layered on top a piece of Basic White embossed with the Stripes from the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing folders pack. The wreath is 2 layers of the the Natural Prints dies one in Soft Sea Foam and one in Basic White. I have used the sentiment from the Peace to you stamp set and heat embossed that in gold and cut it out with the stitched rectangle dies and layered it on soft sea foam and popped up on dimenisionals.

You may remember from last year and carried over into this year's mini the Merriest Moments bundle. I have used the poinsettia from the dies cut in white and separated by dimensional. The gold centre is the gorgeous distressed gold paper. I have also added the little leaf behind from the Framed Florets Dies!

I think this is a card you could actually make multiples of quite quickly and change up the soft sea foam for other colours as well. What colour would you chose?

If you have any questions about my card today just let me know.



Now is the time to go to the next very talented person on our Christmas inspiration journey and this week we will be going to the very talented Caroline Manwaring! She is the queen of the subtle embossing folders and beautiful elegant cards, I can't wait to see what she has for us this week.

I could not love this card more, Sharon. The white-on-white, and touches of Sea Foam and gold, give a beautiful calming look to your design. Lovely work.

Sharon, thank you for the lovely mention xx.
This card is sooo pretty! I love the soft colour palette with beautiful gold details. I think a set of cards in soft pastel colours would be absolutely gorgeous. I love this card so much, I may just have to CASE it! Beautiful.
