Welcome to week 19 of the Heart of Christmas. We are in November so that means just 4 weeks left of Heart of Christmas. "No", I say! I am loving all the inspiration from these very talented and creative team members I want it to be Christmas all the time! But alas it would not be special if it was!

This week I have a card using the Framed and Festive stamp set. It is part of the  Framed Florets Collections.

This collection is now available until January 4th. I hope you have been loving all the sneak peaks you have been getting.

For my card today I thought I would show you  a paired back version and then a stepped up version. I have made this card using panels of the gorgeous Fitting Florets DSP. Who doesn't have a couple of pieces lying around and just needs to know what to do with them. I have a card base of Evening Evergreen layered with Soft Succulent and then 2 panels layered on top of the Fitting Florets DSP. To add a little contrast the is a band across the middle of a little extra piece of DSP. I have cut out the frames in brushed metallic gold foil and stamped the greeting in Evening evergreen. 

Now you can leave your card like this or you could step it up a little.

I took out another piece of the Fitting florets DSP and fussy cut the beautiful flower array to tie in the Balmy blue and Night of Navy Band. Under the flowers I frayed some Gold Shimmer Ribbon and popped them up on dimenionals.

Here is a closer look at the frame and the contrasting band. Plus you can see the gold swirls that I have added that come in the collection too! You have to have some bling!

I love how you have included both a basic version and a stepped up version of your gorgeous card, Sharon. The extra bling looks fabbo too!

CHRISTINE BLAIN said...

Both cards are lovely, Sharon. It's amazing what a difference a few flowers, and embellishments, can make! I love the way you've used the panels of DSP; a really nice layout. x

Tina said...

Wow, two amazing cards! The gold frames look spectacular, and the addition of the fussy cut flowers and gold swirls is a grea way to step up the card.
