Welcome to week fourteen of the Heart Of Christmas Blog Hop!
Do you ever love the “B side” patterns more than the “A side” patterns in a Designer Series Paper pack? I especially love the “B side” patterns of the Storybook Gnomes DSP – it is full of beautiful snowflake and tree patterns in soft blues, aquas and greens.
My card tonight was inspired by the Pool Party snowflake pattern in the Storybook Gnomes DSP so I decided to pair it with the Evening Evergreen Glimmer Specialty Paper to create a Christmas wreath card.
Pool Party and Evening Evergreen work so well together I decided not to add any more colours to this colour combination.

My favourite die in the Country Wreaths die is this elegant double bow die. I’ve layered it on top of a Pool Party Sheer ribbon bow for extra dimension and impact.
The Evening Evergreen “berries” on the wreath are created using the Dots & Spots Die to die cut out the Evening Evergreen Glimmer Specialty Paper. This die is great for creating your own embellishments using specialty papers.
I also added a strip of this gorgeous Evening Evergreen Glimmer Specialty Paper underneath the sentiment which is stamped in Versamark ink, white heat embossed and die cut out with the Stylish Shapes dies.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Tina Gillespie – I can’t wait to see what Tina has created today!

Catherine your soft and elegant card is stunning and I agree……I am definitely a B-side type of girl. I did actually consider this paper for the B-sides alone but couldn’t justify it in the end. But now…… 🙂
It was clever of you to use your dotty die to cut your berries. They work so well with that gorgeous glimmer bow.
Cathy, this is a stunning card. I adore these wreath dies and agree, that bow is beautiful and just has to be used. I love the Evening Evergreen berries cut with that dots & spots die; very clever.
Soft and gorgeous
Oh Cathy, your card is so elegant and simply gorgeous! I can’t stop looking at it! the wreath is beautiful and the pairing of the evening evergreen is perfect! I love the layered wreath so much! Love, Love, Love your card!
Catherine, your card is so beautiful! I have fallen in love with the Evening Evergreen glimmer paper – I didn’t know we had it! I too love the snowflakes and trees and the blue & green colours in the gnome papers. Pool Party & Evening Evergreen are a gorgeous combination.
:0 OHEMGEEEEE!!!! That is a stunning card Cathy!! I love everything about it, especially those little touches of the Evening Evergreen Glimmer card – so beautiful!!
A gorgeous card Cathy. I adore your colour scheme and love your choice of papers – both the B side pattern and the Evening Evergreen glimmer paper. Very inventive way to create the berries for the wreath. Love your double bow as well. All so beautiful. Xxx
Oh, how beautiful, Cathy. I wouldn’t have thought to pair Pool Party with Early Evergreen, but those colours look fantastic together. I LOVE the glimmery bows, and the way you created the berries for your pretty wreaths.
Oh, my! Your card is so beautiful! The colour scheme is so elegant, and the layout is fabulous. The layered wreath is gorgeous.
