Hello crafters – welcome to our last AWH Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2021! I’ve loved being inspired by the incredible creations in our Art with Heart Team.
With less than four weeks to Christmas have you got all your Christmas cards made yet? Have you even started yet?
I finally caved in and purchased the Words of Cheer bundle after seeing so many amazing cards made with this bundle. I’ve enjoyed using this bundle so much I’ve also used it for my Merry Merlot card for our AWH Colour creations blog hop this week – come back and visit my blog on Wednesday night to see the other card I’ve made with the Words of Cheer bundle.
Melon Mambo colour combination

The card design is super simple. Stamp the large floral image on each side of the Basic White card stock layer, colour it in and wrap with some twine or ribbon before adhering to your card base – I used Mossy Meadow.
To match the gold metallic Simply Elegant Trim tied around the base of the card I added Gold adhesive backed Metallic Pearls to the centre of the flowers. TIP – to get the Simply Elegant Trim to stay tied in a bow and sitting on the card I used a double knot and also adhered it to the card using glue dots.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Christine Blain. I can’t wait to see what Christine shares with us today!

Thanks for visiting my site. I’ll be back with another card on Wednesday.
In the meantime, wherever you are in the world, stay safe, stay calm … and keep on crafting xxx
Catherine, I’m so glad you finally gave in and purchased this bundle. You have used it beautifully on your gorgeous card. I love the gold foil ‘happy’ and it’s so nice to see Crumb Cake as the bottom layer.
It may be a simple design but it is so effective. I love the colouring of your poinsettia’s and the Crumb Cake shadow effect. The sentiment is stunning!
Oh, how lovely! The coloured blooms look amazing, and the layered sentiment is perfection.
There’s so much to love about this card, Cathy … and I am thrilled to see that you “caved”, and bought this gorgeous bundle! LOL. I love that you stamped the large floral image twice. It is coloured so beautifully, and the outline really adds a punch. How beautiful does the gold foil die cut word look matted on the Crumb Cake layer? I wouldn’t have thought to pair them, but love the look. Such a lovely card. x
A gorgeous card Cathy and I love how you have stamped two images onto your card to add double interest! Agree the Poppy Parade stands out nicely in the neutral colour palette.
Catherine I love the way you created a shadow line around your stamped images. It really adds some fabulous depth. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
