Good morning!
Today's card is definitely a 2020 take on a previous card design of mine. You certainly can't invent the wheel when it comes to cardmaking, so why try? lol
But it's always a fun folksy design to create:
Paper: Pebbles - Cozy & Bright - 'Tis the Season (r)
Stamps: Hello Bluebird - Typed Christmas, WPlus9 - Heartfelt Holiday (r)
Dies: WPlus9 - Heartfelt Holiday (r), WPlus9 - Pretty Patches: Tree (r), Hero Arts - Infinity Nesting Rectangles
I don't think I will ever manage to pass up a paper design featuring candy cane red and white diagonal stripes! lol Its such a perfect backdrop to layers.
I stamped out the wreath border and the heart and foliage elements from the Heartfelt Holiday stamp set by WPlus9 - incidentally my first ever festive set from WPlus9, which I bought direct from their store all those years ago.
I then created a tree aperture with the Pretty Patches tree die also from WPlus9 and found some vibrant green paper to fill the space for contrast.
The star is an enamel dot from an old My Mind's Eye Holiday collection called Sugar Plum. It was just the right size and colour to provide a finishing touch for the Christmas tree and worked perfectly with the colour I'd chosen for the sentiment banner.
A happy coincidence. :)
Finally, I used light pink Nuvo Drops to add berries around the garland and to complete the sentiment banner.
And yes, there will probably be a 2021 take of this card coming next Christmas!
Happy crafting, until next time!
