Today I wanted to share a Christmas card that I made for my husband.  The paper, stamps and dies are from the 2015 Heartfelt Creations 'Sparkling Poinsettia' collection.

Other supplies used were:
. Ranger Gold embossing powder and Versa Mark ink
. Stampin up Mossy Meadow green paper and Ink
. Stampin up Cranberry Cobbler paper and Ink
. Stampin up CC, MM, and Old Olive Stampin Wright Markers
. Lions Main glitter and Dries Clear glue
. Gold Prills
. 2 1/2" circle punch and 1 1/2" scalloped punch Stampin Up


The White Front Panel:
.  Here I cut out the white face from the 5X7 spellbinders Heirloom Legacy die.
.  On a white piece of cardstock I stamped the Candle with the Poinsettia Wreath in Versa Mark ink and embossed with Ranger Gold embossing powder.  I cut out the candle image with the Eyelet Oval Die from HC and colored in the image with Stampin Up markers in green and red tones with a bit of yellow for the candle flame.
.  The floral spray is made from Red Poinsettias that are Gold embossed and Green leaves edged in Mossy Meadow ink and Lions Main glitter and dries clear glue.
. A few red dots were added from Stampin Up and a Merry Christmas banner for accent.

Inside of the white Front Panel:
.  Here I cut out an oval from the cranberry card-stock using dies from the Eyelet Oval Die collection from HC.
. I then used the Manger stamp from the collection and Gold embossed the scene onto Cranberry paper.  I fussy cut out the image and used foam dots to give it some dimension.
.  To join the 2 cards together I cut a ban of paper 2" wide and about 11 long. I glued it under the white circle on the green card, across the back of the 6X6 panel and inserted it under the Manger scene and the red oval.  I then added the other half of the velcro circle onto the oval so the card would stay closed.  You could use a magnet instead between the layers of paper if you prefer.
. To finish the card I added glitter here and there and a bit of Wink of Stella to add some additional sparkle to the flowers and accent pieces.

Inside Green card:
. I used 2 6X6 panels from the paper collection

 The 6X6 center panel was over-layed with a 4X6 panel containing Christmas prayer and decorated with Poinsettias from the collection. The white accents are from the Cut Mat Create die set 2 A. Poinsettias and Leaves were stamped with Versa Mark ink on Cranberry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow Stampin Up paper and embossed with Ranger Gold embossing powder.

Green floral edged flaps:
.  From a green print page I cut 2 panels 4X6. Scored at 1" to insert between the 2 6x6 panels forming a hinge and cut the edge with the floral Italiana Riviera die.
.  From Gold and Green paper I cut 2 pieces each of paper 3X6 and cut the edges with the Solid Italiana Riviera Edge die. These pieces were all layered together with dries clear glue and they formed the front of the card that opened and closed.
. The flaps were accented with Poinsettia's, Green leaves and foliage along with small cut outs from the paper collection.
. A 2 1/2" circle was punched out of white card stock then stamped with "A Wonderful Christmas" circular wording sentiment.  I then added a red scalloped 1 1/2 punch circle and attached a velcro circle disc as a card closure.

I hope you enjoyed learning how I made this card and hope that you will visit my blog again soon to see my next creations. Happy Day until next time!!  God Bless!
