Heartfelt Creations - Merry Christmas Step Card

Hello Friends,
The time has come to once again “Celebrate the Season” with Heartfelt Creations!  Non-traditional in color, this new holiday themed collection showcases an assortment of exceptional winter hues…shades of teals, pinks, greens and violets resembling the northern lights, whites as crisp as freshly fallen snow and ice blues mimicking frozen ponds beneath the blades of gently gliding ice skates.  Four fanciful cling stamp sets filled with old fashioned themed illustrations of ornate sleighs, wooden gates, gifts, skates, mittens, and simple wreaths filled with poinsettias and greenery, along with an assortment of charming sentiments will bring feelings of nostalgia from Christmas past to all of your crafty creations while being paired with the contemporary color palette of Christmas present.  Three coordinating sets of dies will have you creating your very own dimensional embellishments perfect for holiday cards, layouts and altered art pieces.  Join us as we “Celebrate the Season” and get an early start to all of our holiday themed creating.

  2. I'm in love with this card. Your colour scheme rocks, and the step fold is just perfect to show off the sleigh and pretty presents. Looks like I'll have to do some shopping.

  11. Absolutely Love this card, but am confused as to how to go about getting a piece of card stock that is 17" long! Did you have to piece card stock together? I so want to make a step card like this but need some advice on card length. Can you help? Thanks. Suzanne Cole

    1. You can find big sheets of Cardstock at Michael's or Joan's in the art department. You can also piece it together at the creases if you have a smaller piece of Cardstock.
      Hope this helps! Thanks for your comment!
