Welcome!
I'm so glad you've had a chance to pop by my blog today, just before Christmas!
We're just a few days away...are you ready?
I have to admit that I'm looking forward to slowing down a bit over the holiday season and having a bit of a less hectic schedule.
Seeing it's Wednesday...you know what that means!
It's a Heartfelt Creations posting day!
I decided to post a Christmas card that I created for classes that I taught in November.
You may have caught a glimpse of it in the class advertisement.
I decided that I would share it on the Heartfelt Creations blog and share the instructions with everyone as well...you never know if you all of a sudden have a last minute card to create because someone was accidentally forgotten.
Here's a peek at the card...
This is a super fast card to make, and the addition of the glitter just brings it up a notch!
I've done some layering with pop dots to give it a touch of dimension as well.
I've also completed the inside of this card.
Here's a peek on how it has been finished...
I've done some more layering with pop dots on the inside as well as some more glittering.
I've added just a simple candle stamp impression to tie off the front and inside of the creation, and have still left some room for a handwritten holiday message.
Well, that's all for me today!
I do hope you stop by the Heartfelt Creations blog to see some more wonderful creations made just for your viewing pleasure.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and are filled with God's peace and joy as we celebrate the birth of our Saviour...and all the best in the coming year!
Until next time...
