Christmas approaches and we may have need for some last minute cards. Here are the last three cards in the Close To My Heart White Pines collection I began presenting two posts ago.
Supplies used are listed here.
Edges of some cards and pieces of cardstock used are inked with complimentary color.
Both the card above and the card below use zip strips to accent and add interest. Using White Pines complements to create the scene is quick and easy!
The Colonial White cardstock shape on this card is cut with the Artistry cartridge - Real Dial size, 3” Shape <h> Page 26. Attach the acetate shapes to the card with liquid glass, which will dry clear.
Again, White Pines complements create the scene. Use Fern Cardstock -4 ½" x 3" (cut Banner into one end) and Colonial White Cardstock –4" x 2 ¾" (cut Banner into one end) for the background to the scene.
I hope you've enjoyed seeing how these cards are put together. If you have any questions about this project, please contact me. Best wishes for pleasant holidays.
Blessings,

As promised, here's the second installment of Christmas greeting cards using the White Pines collection from CTMH. Supplies used are listed here.
Edges of some cards and pieces of cardstock used are inked with complimentary color to add interest.
On this card, use Colonial White Cardstock –3” Shape<z> Page 31 to create background shape. White Pines complements and red enamel gems create the scene.
This card uses Fern Cardstock –2 ¾ “ Shape <Elegant> page 46 and Colonial White Cardstock – 2 ½ ” Shape<Elegant> Page 46, with White Pines complements and red enamel gems. Add a twine bow to one of the packages or along the side for more pizzazz!
Most of the shapes on this card are cut by hand, except the ornament - Colonial White Cardstock –1 ¾ Shape <0> page 10. Adhere the Fern green twine with liquid glass.
The simplicity of this card is accented by the sentiment and White Pines complement flowers. For the stamp, use Colonial White Cardstock – 2” Shape<6> Page 6.
Note - All cuts use Real Dial size and are from the new Artistry cartridge.
The final three cards will be presented in the next post. If you have any questions about this project, please contact me. Best wishes for pleasant holidays.
Blessings,
Hebrews 10:24
My friend Gina is one of the most creative people I know. She holds workshops all the time and provided the inspiration for these cards. I'll be presenting 2 or 3 different cards for the next few blog posts.
Close To My Heart Supplies used:
Holly Jolly Christmas Stamp - D1657
White Pines Paper Packet - Z7200B
White Pines Compliments - Z7200C
Fern Twine - Z3093
Red Enamel Gems - Z3090
Fern Ink - Z2650; Cranberry Ink - Z2116
Liquid Glass - Z679
Colonial White Cards and Envelopes - X1410
Colonial White Cardstock - 1388
Cricut Artistry Cartridge - Z3167
3D Foam Tape - Z1151
Edges of some cards and pieces of cardstock used are inked with complimentary color to add interest. Use your imagination! In the card above, the liquid glass comes in handy to glue on the clear plastic "holiday cheer" banner without leaving a visible residue after it dries.
This card uses a piece of Fern Cardstock cut at 1 ¼ ” (Real Dial) Shape <c> Page 33 of Artistry handbook.
Colonial White Cardstock is used on this card, Real Dial cut a 5” Shape <Christmas> Page 48 of Artistry handbook. For added interest, emboss the cut with your favorite embossing folder. This would also work with any of the large, solid color backgrounds.
Best wishes for pleasant holidays!

The days grow shorter and so does the time to get ready for Christmas. This Workshop On The Go from Close To My Heart is from last year's holiday collection and no longer available. It is so beautiful, though, I wanted to share it anyway. There are many other wonderful seasonal workshops available in both the regular Idea Book and the Holiday Gift Guide. As in most of the workshops, all materials are included except the inks needed to complete 15 cards.
Here are the items from the workshop - papers, ribbon, "bling", stamps, and guide for paper cutting, stamping and assembly of cards.
Here are all the pieces of all the cards cut out and ready to stamp and assemble.
A view of one of the pages of directions - very clear and easy to follow. ALL the workshops are like this - that's why I like them.
Three colors of ink were used on this project - cranberry, cocoa and olive. Edges of all pieces were also daubed with cocoa ink.
This card uses the technique of masking part of the stamp and placing the extra piece on top with 3-D foam.
These little stamps are so delicate - I just love the way this card turned out!
One stamp was used over and over to make the background on this card. S-s-s-h-h-h, don't tell, I didn't stamp underneath where the red piece covers.
Hope you all enjoy this project. Wishing everyone peace, joy and love during this season. Blessings all year long. Adrienne
