Welcome Christmas Into Your Heart

This simple little card was a big hit at my classes and clubs this year and it was super easy to make. The stamp sets we used are Heard from the Heart (sentiment), Season of Joy (flourish, small flower) and Spotlight on Christmas (larger flower). First we embossed the flower twice on red cardstock using Versamark Watermark ink and clear embossing powder. We then punched the flower with the 5-Petal punch. This card can be made using the large flower in the Season of

Joy stamp set but you have to hand cut the flower so we used the flower from Spotlight on Christmas for convenience. Next we glued the two flowers together. We then put three tiny drops of Crystal Effects in the center of the flower an poured silver microbeads overtop and set it aside to dry.
We then stamped "welcome Christmas.." in black and stamped the flourish stamp twice in Certainly Celery. We stamped the tiny flower in real red on each flourish. The flower was applied to the card with Stampin Dimensionals.
This is an an unusal shaped card (6 1/2 by 3 1/4) which fits perfectly in the small open ended envelopes!
