Week 16 - Heart of Christmas - Framed & Festive Sneak Peak

 

Welcome to week 16 of the Heart of Christmas. This is our Monday night time where some of the team come and play with some Christmas goodies and bring you some inspiration for you. We will continue right up until the last Monday of November.

This week I am bringing you a sneak peak of a new collection called Fitting Florets! You will be able to order these goodies starting November 1st.

From the collection I am using the Framed & Festive Cling Stamp set, the Framed Floret Dies and the gorgeous Fitting Florets DSP.

This Collection comes with another gorgeous stamp set and beautiful Designer Series Paper, the dies and some gold swirls. The Framed Florets stamps are photopolymer and the Framed & Festive stamps are red rubber cling stamps.

For my card today I have used the simple "Z" Fold and added a ribbon to give it a little extra "WOW"

So if you remember from my Friendliest Gnome cards from a couple of weeks ago, I made the "z" fold card and then put the focal point o the front with the Gnomes. I have done the same thing this time but before you put the focal point card on your card you need to do one more step.

So make sure you have put on all your gorgeous Fitting florets DSP and your Basic White so that you have somewhere to write on your card then with your Take Your Pick tool I just made a whole to thread my Gold Shimmer Ribbon through from from the back and making it long enough to tie a bow. I think next time I will make it a bit longer.

Once you have tied your ribbon you can add your focal point! I have cut out the frame in the gorgeous Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, and I have stamped the Sentiment in Basic Grey and cut it out using one of the other frames so I will have an extra frame to use later. The Flowers are cut out with the dies from the Fitting Florets DSP and there is a gorgeous leaf die also that I have used to and cut out in Soft Succulent. I have added some bling because there is never enough bling with the matt Solid Faceted Gems in Melon Mambo and Mossy Meadow!

If you have any questions about my card tonight or would like to get these fantastic products on November 1st just let me know!
