Welcome to a new week's Heart Of Christmas Blog Share. Today's cards was actually a layout that I CASEd from this card by Chris Smith. The layout immediately appealed to me, so with a few tweaks I made my own version.
I didn't have any of the stamps or dies that Chris used, so I grabbed my trusty Santa's Workshop SDSP and my Merry Christmas To All stamp set and away I went. You probably can't see in the photo, but the white part of the card front is embossed using the Subtle DTIEF.
I love this sweet little elf - most of the others have a cheeky look, so this little guy stands out from the crowd. There wasn't a lot of room for a sentiment so I just went with the single word, Merry.
I trimmed a smaller triangle from the tree paper to finish off the inside, along with a group of gifts, fussy cut from the Santa's Workshop SDSP. I'm going to have to think hard about how to use the left over piece of the tree paper, as it's a wide, diagonal stripe. Could be interesting!
As always, you can find the rest of this week's cards over at Claire's blog. I find it easy to view each page by right clicking on the link and selecting to open the link in a new tab. That way I'm not jumping back and forth between each page.
Bye for now,
Tina
I love your gorgeous, sweet card Tina. I can see why you liked the layout and you have done a great job re-creating it. That is the sweetest little elf and I confess I didn't notice him before.
