Hi!
Welcome to another year of the Heart Of Christmas Blog Hops. It's great to get started early with making Christmas cards so that you're not scrambling to get enough done in December.
I was a bit slow off the mark with my preorder from the upcoming Mini Catalogue, so I've delved into my stash for this week's card. I've used elements from the Love, Santa Tag Kit and added bits and pieces to make a full card rather than a tag. It was easy enough to snip away the loop at the top of the Christmas tree to make it more suitable for a card.
I've layered the Christmas tree as it is supposed to be for the tag, but I've added it to a card base that's been embossed with the Merry Melody 3DEF. I was so pleased when this embossing folder carried over! If you look closely, you can see a little scattering of gems from the kit over some of the baubles on the tree.
I used some of the stamps from the kit to create the inside of my card. Don't forget your kits - they are a great source of stamps and are on sale this month. The Love, Santa Tag Kit is reduced from $39 to $27.30. Bargain!
Please keep on going around our blog hop tonight, as there's lots more Christmassy inspiration to be seen, starting with my lovely friend, Judy May. She's bound to have something gorgeous!
Sharon Davern is once again our wonderful hostess for the Heart Of Christmas blog hops this year. If you run into any issues with links, just jump on over to her blog where she will have a list of all of tonight's participants to help get you back on track.
Bye for now,
Tina
This is such an awesome card from an awesome kit! Your tree looks great on the Merry Melody 3DEF with all the bright primary colours!
ReplyDeleteLovely Christmas card Tina, great idea to turn the tag into a card
ReplyDeleteDelving into your stash has worked wonders! A fabulous card! I love the background you created for you tree it looks fabulous against the Merry Melodies embossed background! By the way I still haven't done a preorder, I know shock horror!
ReplyDeleteI really like your choice of a dramatic navy background for the lovely festive Christmas tree, Tina. Great use of components of the kit, to make this beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteA bright and happy Christmas card Tina. I love the way you have converted a tag into a card and with striking colours. Love it. xxx
ReplyDeletePS that last comment was me …
ReplyDeleteTina I like that you created a fabulous bright card from the tag to show versatility in the products and that you don’t need to use as intended. Very festive!
ReplyDeleteSuch a bright, fun card with the tag kit pieces, Tina. Ery clever!
ReplyDeleteAwesome use of the tag from the kit Tina. The Merry Melody embossed panel makes a perfect background and I love that you chose to use Night of Navy. It really sets the tag off beautifully.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card Tina and so ingenious of you to use the bits from the kit to create it.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Such a bold, bright and happy card using items you already had. I love this and so will anyone when they pull it out of the envelope this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that the Heart of Christmas hops are back!! I wait all year for this!
ReplyDeleteSuch a bright and festive card, Tina. Clever conversion, from tag to card - I love it!
