Hi everyone! I’m taking part in a Handmade for Christmas Blog Hop from Hero Arts today, yay! We are sharing Holiday projects using Hero goodies.
I made a simple Bring You Joy card on a clear card base using a fabulous Pen & Ink Christmas Tree stamp. Its been awhile since I made anything on an acetate card base, so I decided to give it a go.
As always, I’m sharing a video showing you how the card came together. I also talk about ways you can embellish this tree to make it more festive.
You can watch my video below or on Youtube. Enjoy!

This card is so cool. I never knew what to do with the clear card base. You have answered my question! I also loved your video–very clear instructions and great tips. (I have a dog and 2 cats!)
What a stunning card!
so elegant!
Thanks for this inspiration! I really like the white stamping (too) on the black card. It looks almost like chalkboard 🙂
You’ve pulled off another black holiday card=) combined with the clear base and gold it is so elegant!
Your card is really stunning!
Pretty!
I love the look of the black on the acetate. This is beautiful with the gold embossing on the black cardstock.
Fabulous card and clever idea to do a clear card for a change for Christmas cards!
Love that tree stamp!
Love this, very pretty!
I love this tree stamp. It can be used in so many ways and embellished so differently each time too.
Great card.
thanks for sharing.
Yana–love to see how you put your own modern stamp on the new Hero Arts holiday collection. Beautiful work!
This card is completely beautiful! Love the colors!
I didn’t know Hero Arts made acetate paper. The acetate I’ve used in the past didn’t work well, but I bet HA’s does. I’ll have to try that.
THis is a great card! I always love the video of the making of the card! It helps so much to see how it all comes together! Thanks!
This is a very pretty card. I think the acetate base really makes it special.
Very special card! Love the elegant non-cutesy look!
Nice use of gold embossing and like your video ideas
It’s hard to believe it’s already time to start making Christmas cards. Thanks for the inspiration.

Elegant and beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial. Great job!
I love it, love it, love it, it’s my favorite of all! Also thank you for the video I’m a visual person and need to watch how it’s done first, not a big reader of instructions. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win.
