Get Cracking On Christmas - November 2019

Hello! Today I'm popping in to share a Christmas card, as part of the Get Cracking On Christmas series. My friend Jenn Shurkus encourages us to create Christmas cards throughout the year, so when December comes along you have a nice stash available to send!

Today I'm sharing a card I've taught at a couple stores this fall.

It features the Hero Arts Poinsettia Ornament and Frame Fancy Die. I absolutely LOVE this die, it's so pretty. It has two parts to it - the inner part and the ornament frame. You can use each part separately, or combine them together to create a standalone ornament. That's how I used it today, cutting it directly out of the front panel of my card.

I began by painting the ornament with Glimmer Metallic Inks - Red & Green as well as Gold. I love the metallic shine they add to the card!

Next I stamped the Noel Print Bold Prints on the card front in black ink. Vellum cardstock was added to the front inside of the card, then the painted ornament was glued back in place.

The message from From the Vault Home Scene was stamped on the inside of the card, and shows through the vellum.

Now it's time to head on over and see what my crafty friends are up to! Check out the Get Cracking posts from Jenn, Chari, Caryn and Cheiron!

Thanks for stopping by!
