Hello! Can you believe Christmas is almost here? For this month's hop, I wanted to make a Christmas themed card with one of the new Gateway dies. I used papers from the Snowy Pines Collection and the Lattice Swirl Gateway die.
What I love about this particular Gateway die, is that you can cut out images from the paper collections and frame them in the top center. The gorgeous dies and paper do all of the work for you! I scored and folded a 8.5" x 11" piece of white cardstock and when I cut out the large background die, I made sure to create an overlap on the left side so that it didn't cut through. This created my bi-fold card. I added one of the pinecone images and a sentiment from the paper collection. This card looks like I spent all day making it, but I only spent about ten minutes total! Perfect for this busy time of year.
The hop begins at 8AM EST on Friday December 18, 2020 and ends on Monday, December 21st at 11:55 EST. A random comment from a mystery blog will be chosen to win a $25 Heartfelt Creations Gift Card on Tuesday, December 22nd. Heartfelt Creations will also announce the winner on their blog and Facebook page on Wednesday, December 23rd. The winner needs to contact socialmedia@heartfeltcreations.us within 72 hours to claim the gift card.
