Hello everyone! This is Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook today with some more holiday inspiration. Today we’re mixing heat embossing and dry embossing for lots of texture effects on our card.

I started by stamping and coloring images from the Holiday Peeker Places set and colored them with my copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and set them aside to find a sentiment for my card.

The big sentiments in Joy to the World are fabulous and this Happy Holidays one looks so great across the wreath. I stamped and heat embossed it on black cardstock with Pink Champagne glittery embossing powder. Then I found some cardstock that coordinating well with my color palette in my stash so I cut it from a Concave Rectangle, along with a white panel one size up. But the cardstock was too plain so I decided to add texture with the Knit Sweater 3D embossing folder. It’s so stunning!

I used EZ squeeze glue to adhere the concave rectangles together, then foam tape to add them to a white card base. Next, I used foam squares to add my wreath, hearts and sentiment.

For finishing touches, I wanted shine to go with my sparkle and embossing so I added Touch of Gloss to all of the hearts floating up.
I’m definitely still celebrating all things Halloween and fall but it’s always fun and a good idea to whittle away at your Christmas card list before it’s suddenly upon us!
