Barbara and I are three weeks into our 12 weeks of Christmas, hate to bring it up but that means we are 9 weeks until Christmas. I bought wrapping paper, tags and ribbon this week; I wrap gifts for mum and sister because they don’t find the same joy in wrapping as I do, so I also bought for their gift wrapping supplies also. Normally, I have almost finished my shopping by this point of the year but I have not even started. I am feeling like I will be doing a lot of online shopping this weekend to get a start on my Christmas shopping.
This week for our 12 weeks of Christmas Mum and I are showcasing Hearts Come Home Bundle. The first card I show using this bundle was this card HERE I was blown away and through August Demonstrators were able to pre-order from the Holiday Catalogue and I started seeing cards being created in a fancy fold style called U fold or Bridge fold using the dies. Taking inspiration from both these cards to create my own card. I am LOVING the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper, in the card I have layered the houses in front of the music notes.
I just adore the designs in the Hometown Greetings Edgelits Dies the little houses. I placed a little gold glitter paper behind the windows and added a little Embossing Paste to look like snow.
The card does fold flat, the first tutorial I found showing how to make the U Fold was this one HERE from Amanda at The Craft Spa she has done a wonderful job explaining. As this is not your normal kind of card, with no inside to write a message; I have added a panel to the back, in which a message can be added.
Now it is time to bounce over to Barbara to see her creation using Hearts Come Home.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card, Teneale! I love the texture from the embossing paste, your neutral color palette and the gold accents. Beautiful job! I’m all about CASE-ing this card THIS weekend!! Crystal
Just beautiful Teneale. Xx
I loved this card you made, even its chunkiness. Thank you for all your help this last couple of days, especially doing my classes for me, I know my ladies appreciate their class still going a head.
Just stunning Teneale!! I can’t love this enough!! 😍😍😍 Super gorgeous, super cute and super clever!!
Gorgeous card Teneale… love it! There again I am biased with both Hearts Come Home and the card fold! Love the use of the Music paper and the embossing paste. And thanks for the link too…
