Nothing Warms The Heart Like Good Friends

Hi bloggers!  I really like this card because it works well for not only Christmas, but any time of year!  I started by making a piece of Luna Paste card using the Stellar Ice Luna Paste.  I used the Snowflake and Swirls die and cut just the swirl section out four times out of the Luna Paste card.  I nipped the swirl away from the edge and used them that way by adding them to a piece of card that had a sticky adhesive sheet added it to.  I added Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to the exposed adhesive (except the very centre of the card).  I cut a square out of Silver Shine card using the Double Stitched Square set.  I added mounting foam to raise it then added it to the adhesive section in the centre of the background.  I cut the Nothing Warms The Heart Like Good Friends sentiment out of both white card and slate grey card,  I used the grey as the shadow behind and then glued it to the centre square.  Using the Classic Poinsettia die set, I made three flowers out of vellum and seated them in opposite corners.  I used white Evergreen Branches as accents.  The card was completed with white and silver shine mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

  35. Hey Sue,
    Beautiful card and sentiment.
    I know this sounds kinda random, but I’ve fallen in love with and have been trying to find your beaded fanfare embossing folder and have not been able to find it anywhere. I realize it’s discontinued, but Is there any chance of bringing it back or do you know someone who would like to part with theirs? Would truly love to have one.
    Thanks!

  40. This card is so pretty and I especially like the sentiment. I like sentiments that are longer than a couple of words and this one has multiple plus the words are meaningful.
