Good Morning Friends…
Back again with inspiration with Heartfelt Creations. We designers are today debuting their new Christmas collection of the year 2019, Candlelit Christmas Collection.
The snow is gently falling, the decorating has been done, and the soft glow from the candles in the window invite you to just sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful side of the holiday season! Flickering candlelight is always a cozy welcome addition to any Christmas festivities, and is a lovely way to create a warm and welcoming ambiance, allowing for a stillness that leads to reflections of the season! Steeped in traditions for centuries, illuminated candles have been associated with the yuletide season in various ways…from being placed in the window offering a warm welcome to travelers from afar, to representing the Star of Bethlehem guiding the Wise Men to the birthplace of Jesus Christ, to setting the ambiance to a family Christmas dinner! Whether you enjoy the brilliance of candlelit lanterns, grand candelabras or a glowing votive, there is no denying the beautiful luminescence candles bring to the advent season! Join us as we leave behind the hustle and bustle and take time to reflect on the calmer side of the holiday season with the new Candlelit Christmas Collection! Become enraptured in a glimmering paper collection hued in brilliant blues, garland greens and holly berry reds, ensconced in illustrations of glowing candlelit lanterns, pretty centerpieces, and gladdening poinsettias, all dipped in elegant snowflake patterns, breathtaking brocades and festive floral clusters! A brilliant assembling of cling stamp sets, along with coordinating dies, offer radiant illustrations of festive lanterns, stunning ornamental centerpieces and beautifully scripted sentiments, perfect for embellishing all of your Christmas themed paper crafting creations. Stamp, die cut and shape an assortment of traditional flowering poinsettias, along with decorative holly accents quickly and easily with the coordinating cling stamp set, dies and dimensional shaping mold, allowing you to assemble realistic holiday poinsettias ideal for accenting handmade holiday greeting cards, scrapbook layouts, and heirloom albums!

To create a ready side fold card from smooth white cardstock measuring 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2 “, cut a paper 11” by 8 1/2″. Score at 5 1/2″ on the long side, crease and score neatly. Choose the paper from the designer paper collection and cut to size, 4 1/2″ by 7 1/2″. Distress all the edges with sharp scissors and glue the panel on a white cardstock making a very delicate border on all the 4 sides. Secure the largest rectangular die from Cut Mat Create 1B Die with printers tape and run it through the die-cutting machine. Cover the window using acetate sheet from the back using red tacky tape.
Using Sprinkled Confetti Cupcakes Cling Stamp Set, stamp the stars using versamark sticky ink and sprinkle Tinsel glittered heat embossing powder. Dust extra powder and heat set and then cut the glittery stars using it’s coordinating die. Repeat the process of heat embossing using glittered pink heat embossing powder as well. Use these sprinklers as shaker material for the window. Choose the paper from the same paper collection and cut a backdrop of the window. Cut a border in white using Starry Night Decorative Die and glue it to the inside of the window as shown. Add all shaker material and close the window by layering the already made front panel. Further, layer the panel on a golden mirror sheet and finally layer the panel on the ready card base.
Stamp the image from Glow of Christmas Cling Stamp Set and Candlelit Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set with black archival on smooth white cardstock using black ink and color it using Zig Clean Clear Brush Markers. Die-cut the image using its coordinating die and add an extra die-cut to add little strength.
Stamp a couple of Poinsettias using Christmas Poinsettia and Holly Cling Stamp Set using Geranium red archival ink and cut them using their coordinating dies. Color all the Poinsettias using Vermillion Red Archival Ink and shape them using its coordinating mold. Glue the petals to form beautiful Poinsettias and add golden glitter ball to the center using an adhesive that dries clear.
Once all the elements are ready, assemble the card as shown and add a sentiment from the paper collection cut using Arrows and Banner Die. Finish the card by adding sparkle to the Poinsettias.
Absolutely gorgeous as always Rajni! Your poinsettias are so beautiful and your coloring is stunning!
