Hello and welcome to The Heart of Christmas week 15 for 2024. This week I have channeled my friend Tina again with another Sheet Load of Cards design and my friend Christine who loves to use lots of Designer Series paper in her designs. So you guessed it no fancy fold this week.

My Colours again this week are Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon. I chose my DSP first then I still went to my go to colour for this year. When I went to go for the Pretty Peacock I am nearly out. I have 2 sheets left after the cards I made today so I couldn't make 8 like I would have been able to with the design I have so I will need to get some more. The GOOD NEWS is that there is a seasonal sale on this week for the Annual Catalogue so I will be able to replenish my stock. The add for the sale is at the end of this blog.

For the card base I have used my scarce supply (LOL) of Pretty Peacock Card and added a layer of on top dry embossed with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder.

Continuing to follow the  Sheet Loads of Card design from January 2021 and channeling my friend Christine with her love of using our gorgeous Designer series paper this layer is Lost Lagoon and the Nest of Winter DSP.

For the focal point of the card I have layered a piece of I have stamped the Christmas tree from the Peaceful Evergreens in Pretty Peacock and then using the Peaceful Evergreens Dies cut out the star and the over lay from the Gold Mercury Vellum.

For the sentiment I have stamped the Merry from the Peaceful Season Stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and cut out the Christmas in Pretty Peacock and backed it with Lost Lagoon with the Peaceful Season Dies. To finish off I used the Neutrals Adhesive Back Sequins.

This was a fun Sheet Loads of Cards design to do and it is a great way to make lots of cards if you still have lots of Christmas cards to make. This design will make 8.
