I wanted to make Hubby an extra special card and he doesn't like much fuss so I thought this Heart Wreath Die and Falling Hearts Stencil from the Valentine 2014 new release would be perfect :-)  I think they work really well for a Christmas card ,, what do you think ? 


I think I will make another one and send it to my parents too,,,, I did send one already ,,, but I totally love this one  :-)  oops, I just noticed that a pearl has dropped off on the right side, am now gluing them all with glossy accents to make sure :-)

Do YOU have any embossing paste ?  If not ,,, WHY NOT :-) it is a fabulous product and I am now nearing the bottom of my first tub,, it is wonderful to use with stencils ,, you NEED it :-)

I love that the Heart Wreath die comes with extra hearts and leaves for you to add without the bother of having to die cut the whole wreath in different colours. As you can see I glittered all the hearts with Glitter Ritz glitter,, not overly sparkly but just enough bling and with the small white pearls ,,, perfect :-) I also sprayed the rose with shine for a little extra bling :-)

The sentiment was printed and cut on the Silhouette Cameo 



So now it's YOUR turn ! Happy Crafting !!
