Pear & Partridge Christmas Scrapbook Pages

I LOVE Close To My Heart’s

Christmas paper pack this year! 

I am a traditionalist, and enjoy the red, green colors of Christmas…but I also was quite DELIGHTED at how CTMH brought neutral tones into this paper pack as well! 

I was excited to create items using the Pear & Partridge paper pack and here are two items I created!!

When I host a home gathering, we always complete our evening together by creating a card.  

This is the card we have created at my most recent home gatherings…

I LOVE how this card turned out…but it was SO simple to create!!!

One of my new FAVORITE embellishments is our Silver Shimmer Ribbon – the BEST part…it’s ADHESIVE backed!!!!

If you would like to re-create this card on your own…

here are some more details! J

I used page 65 in the Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut the bracket frames (rctngle 8)

 

I used the page 80 of the Artiste cartridge for the poinsettia flower.

(poinsettia flower sizes listed below)

I also used my go-to idea book – the Make It From Your Heart, vol. 1., pattern #27

  This book is used as my “starting point”…I can create so much FASTER, just by looking at the FUN sketches in this book!!!

**************

I know not everyone enjoys card making J…so I also create a 2 page layout to show everyone at my parties.

I create the layout by using the card design we made at the party and incorporating that card into scrapbook pages!

I again used the MIFH how-to book and I used pattern #5.

Take a look at these poinsettias on the layout…

After cutting these from the Artiste cartridge, I took my bone folder and scored the center of each flower petal. I then inked the flowers in ruby ink.

How did I create the leaves?

They are the SAME flower shape as the poinsettias!!!!

I tore off 2 green points of my flower, and left 3 “leaves” to add to the bottom of my poinsettia flower!

Sizes I used to CREATE flowers…

Small Poinsettias

1 1/2” ruby cardstock

(2) 1 3/4” ruby cardstock

2” New England Ivy cardstock (leaves)

Large Poinsettias

2” ruby cardstock

2 1/2” ruby cardstock

(2) 2 3/4” ruby cardstock

3 1/4” New England Ivy (leaves)

Stamp sets used…

Love Life

Glory To God

Frame It Up

Christmas Joy

For the finishing touches of the card, I added BROWN & TAN sparkles in the center of my flowers. I also sponged the edges in our new CASHMERE ink.

Now – off to create some more with this paper pack!!! 

Have a blessed week!
