Candlelit Christmas - Heartfelt Creations

 Hello

These Christmas cards were created using Stamps, dies and papers from Candlelit Christmas collection from Heartfelt Creations.

For this gatefold card panels were cut from the papers for the front of the card and layered on to gold foil card.
Papers were cut to fit the inside panels and a strip greeting (also from the papers) was added.
Die cut and moulded and assembled poinsettia flowers and holly leaves were added to the card front, along with a sentiment cut from the papers and layered on to gold foil card.
Gems, glossy accents and glitter glue were used to highlight.


Paper was layered on to glitter card then attached to the card base. A frame was cut from foil card and added, then overlaid with a label shape and base layer cut from the papers.
Poinsettia flowers, holly leaves, and a sentiment were added, as were some red gems and crystal star gems.
Glossy accents and glitter glue were applied.

For the left card paper was layered on to glitter card, then to the card front. Glitter accents were added to the trees, a die cut strip was placed across the bottom, and a stamped and die cut deer positioned. A sentiment was added to glitter card and mounted, and gems and stars were added.

For the second card paper was added to glitter card and to the card front. A panel was cut from the papers, an oval aperture was die cut from this and the frame piece then added to the card.
Poinsettias, holly leaves, a sentiment, and gems were added. Glitter glue and glossy accents were applied.

Christmas is coming.

Ranger Alcohol Inks & Kaszazz Foil...

 Hello,

Wow, the photos of these cards do not show the brightness of the colours of the alcohol inks or the foils!

I have used Yupo paper, dropping the alcohol ink colours onto the paper and before the ink is totally dry, press the foil paper onto the damp ink. The effect is amazing!


The alcohol ink colours I have used are: Ranger Products - Adirondack Brights in Watermelon, Sail Boat Blue and Citrus


The foil sheet I used is: Kaszazz Holographic Gold


Adding the card fronts to coloured card has really made them pop!

Have you tried using alcohol ink and Yupo paper yet?
Highly recommend! Add this to your list!
