Northern Hearts Christmas Card

Today I am so fired up with my card! Some days, it is hard to get the creative juices flowing, and some days it just comes pouring out! Today is one of those rare, but awesome days. Check it out:

I haven't played with my Heat & Stick and colored glitter in a while, so I was really eager to see how it would look on this wreath, which is from the Stampin' Up! Hostess stamp set, Northern Hearts. It is hard to photograph how glittery it is, but here is a close up:

Ooh, love it!

The Rick Rack at the bottom of the card is from the Big Shot Tasteful Trim Die, which is new in the Holiday Mini Catalog. This die cuts out 4 different border trim shapes that are up to 12 inches long... perfect for scrapbooking and all of your paper craft projects!

I cut my circles at 2 1/2" and 2 3/8" with my Circle Scissor Plus, which cuts any size between 1 & 6 inches. Easy!

Wow Amy, this looks like something that should gloss the COVER of a magazine. Very very professional and polished. Its sort of old fashioned while being modern too!

Thanks for sharing,

Cute card! So did you submit it those for challenges? Or do you just get inspiration from them?

Also, do you still have any of those retired inks/cardstock for sell?
