Merry Christmas Ornament Card | Hero Arts

Hello, my sweet crafty friends.

Today I am sharing this beautiful Merry Christmas Ornament Card featuring a few sets from the Hero Arts Awesome Add-Ons that are still available. If you love heat embossing and a simple design this one is perfect for you.

I began by preparing the Pitch Black Cardstock panel by using an anti-static powder duster. I then stamped out the top and bottom using the first layer of the Color Layering Merry Christmas stamp set with Unicorn Pigment Ink. I then used white embossing powder to heat set the first layer. I repeated the previous step twice to get a good white embossed layer for the next step. Next, line up the top detail layer of the stamps, this time inked the stamp with Versamark ink and then heat set it using gold embossing powder.

Cut out the ornament using the Nesting Circle Infinity Dies. Stamp, heat emboss the top of the ornament, and fussy cut it out. Glue it to the top of the die-cut circle "ornament". Pierce a hole through the top to add the gold thread through later.

Stamp out the background panel using Versamark ink, and heat set it using gold embossing powder. Trim the panel. Attach it to another black panel to create a shadow and to tie the colors together. Now pop the ornament in the center of the panels using foam tape. Secure the gold thread behind the panels. Use foam tape to adhere the embossed panel to a gold piece of Glitter Paper Holiday Sparkle cardstock cut to A2 size and then attach it to the card base.

Finish off the card by adding a few gold pearls and a bow to the top of the ornament as a finishing touch. 

I hope you got some inspiration for your Holiday cards today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Ilda 😊

Seasons Greetings Poinsettia Trimmings Card | Studio Katia Release Blog Hop and GIVEAWAY

Hello Friends and welcome to the Studio Katia Fall 2018 Release Blog Hop! This is a 2 day Hop and today is Day 2.

If you have already started on the Hop you must have arrived from the very talented Svetlana's Blog. I'll have more details and where to Hop next at the end of this post, plus details on all the Giveaways going on! 

Today I’m sharing my first Christmas card of the season using the new Poinsettia Trimmings stamp set. Isn’t it pretty?!

To make this card I began by stamping out the poinsettias on the outer edges of a card panel using a  Versamark ink and then used a gold embossing powder to heat set it. I then used Copic markers to color the florals in. Next, I fussy cut around the flowers and then using a Versamark pen inked the fussy cut edge and added the same gold embossing. I also added some tiny drops of glossy accents to the berries and set the trimmings aside while it dried. If you aren't into fussy cutting, Studio Katia just released the Trimming Borders Die that will cut along all of the Studio Katia Trimming Stamp Sets.

To create the back panel, I layed the confetti stencil onto the card panel and used Versamark ink to stamp into all the openings. Next, I removed the stencil and sprinkled the same gold embossing powder and heat set it. I then ran the panel and the floral trimmings with the largest die from the new Dotted Pattern Set 3 Dies. For the sentiment, I used the banner from the Dotted Patterns Set 2 Dies. Now, all that I did was piece it all together on to the card base popping up the sentiment and the trimmings onto the confetti stencil background.

To finish the card, I added a sprinkle of the Classic Christmas Confetti.
