12 Days of Christmas Day 9 Heartfelt Hexagon

12 Days of Christmas 2023 blog hop with Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers and Brenda Nelson of Stamps and Strechy Pants sharing Christmas crafting projects.

Thanks for stopping back for day 9 of the 12 Days of Christmas! Today I am sharing a card with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp and punch bundle.

12 Days of Christmas Day 9 with Brenda Nelson from Stamps & Stretchy Pants featuring the Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle, O Holy Night designer series paper, Scalloped contours Dies, Deckled circle dies, and white organdy glittered ribbon from Stampin' Up!. Card designed by Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers.

Now, the Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle isn’t really a Christmas bundle, but I wanted to show you how you can use so many items you have on hand, and make them into something you may not clearly see.

Often times, you can use the stamps and supplies you have for so many occasions. I chose an all-occasion stamp set and paired it with some new designer series paper to create a Christmas card. I didn’t even go with a traditional color palette. But what I love about this, is you could use it for so many different occasions, and it would be perfect!

The O Holy Night Designer Series Paper is gorgeous. I love the blues and patterns on one side, and the great early tones and patterns on the other. I went with the blues for this card, and paired it with silver, shimmer, and bling to dress it up.

To create this card:

Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
Designer Series Paper 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and 4″ x 5 1/4″ to die cut largest rectangle
Vellum Cardstock 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ to die cut 2 7/8″ circle

Adhere larger piece of designer series paper to card front. Wrap ribbon around die cut rectangle and tie ends together with silver cord bow. Adhere to card front with dimensionals. Splatter card front with Wink of Stella and Night of Navy Marker. Let dry. Emboss circle with embossing folder. Adhere to card front with dimensionals. Stamp frame in Night of Navy ink. Stamp sentiment in Versamark ink inside frame. Emboss sentiment with silver embossing powder. Punch. Adhere a scrap strip of designer series paper to sentiment piece. Trim ends, and adhere to card front. Embellish with rhinestones.

Thank You
