Christmas for the Candy Hearts Blog Hop
Christmas for the Candy Hearts Blog Hop presents a handmade card from Stampin’ Up! products. The Candy Hearts are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators who showcase our work on blogs. Today we are sharing Christmas themed projects that we are excited about. After reading my post, I hope you will “hop” to the blog of the next person on the list below. Be sure to hop around to see ALL the great projects we have created.
My project is a Christmas card with white heat embossed sentiments and hanging ornaments. The vertical “Merry” is from the Festive Corners stamp set, and the ornaments are from the Ornamental Envelopes set. I stamped them in Versamark ink on Misty Moonlight card stock, sprinkled white embossing powder on the stamped ink, then melted it with a heat tool. I then wrapped a piece of Misty Moonlight ribbon around the top of the stamped panel so the ornaments appear to hang from it. I layered the panel on a mat of white card stock, then adhered the panels to a layer of the designer paper, then to the card front. I added three white dots to embellish the card and add the finishing touch. I stamped a small ornament on the inside off the card, and I used coordinating designer paper with the envelopes dies to make a liner for the envelope.

Linda this is such a great card! I always envy beautiful embossing! And the monochromatic look is perfect.
Thank you Jackie. I found embossing easier than usual with this (Misty Moonlight) cardstock. I am glad you like the card.
Misty Moonlight is such an amazing color. I love a well done monochromatic card. It is weird that making a card with one color makes it stand out in a crowd! The white embossing is flawless. I bought this bundle for the envelope dies and have used the stamp set more than any other in the catty….and I have yet to use the dies lol! Beautiful and inspiring as always! Xo
Thanks Pam. I also bought this bundle for the envelopes dies, and I am starting to like the stamp set as well. This did not start out as a monochromatic card, but there was no need for additional colors. I am glad you like my card, and I appreciate your kind comments.
Just beautiful, Linda! I love the blue and white. It’s both festive and peaceful.
Thank you Candy. I am glad you like it; also like the white on blue. I appreciate your kind comment.
