Hello there! I have a new card to share using a few stamps from Hero Arts. I recently got several of their new woodblock backgrounds (gotta love those, even just for pretty display) and I couldn’t resist making a Holiday card. Why I need so many, you ask? Besides mailing them to friends and family during Holiday Season I also donate them, plus I simply enjoy making them, its very relaxing for me.
Like this card? Pin it and save for later!
I started by heat embossing Holiday Floral Background in white embossing powder onto a sheet of Simon’s Schoolhouse Red cardstock. I wanted to darken the edges of this panel, so I blended some Royal Red ink.
For my sentiment I went with Happiest of Holidays and heat embossed it along with an adorable town house in gold embossing powder onto a strip of vellum.
I wanted to add some additional bits and pieces to my card, so I heat embossed Do Not Open Until December 25th tag and stamped and Copic colored mittens (I love this image, you might remember me using it on another Holiday card here and also on a recent one here).
I adhered my red panel onto another one made out of Olive Green cardstock, wrapped vellum panel and some natural twine around it. Lastly, I added several small and medium droplets from Pretty Pink Posh – I love using those as little accents on my cards.

Beautiful embossing and the vellum overlay is the prettiest touch!
thank you so much, Amy!
Oh how beautiful Yana! Your work never ceases to amaze me, just stunning!
thank you, Teresa!
Stunning card!
thanks, Wilma!
Wow – I love the white on the Red. I was surprised it wasn’t sparkling embossing powder because it looks like it sparkles!
thank you, Pam! I haven’t used the sparkle one in a long time. That reminds me – better play with it some more!
Yana your card is just pure decadence, with the deep red, gold touches and clear droplets that remind me of crystals, I absolutely love it. Have a lovely day. Cheers Donna Z 🙂
awww, thank you so much, Donna!
Beautiful card! I enjoy your blog and all the great cards you make. Your photography is exquisite!
thank you so much, Michelle!
Fantastic card! I have to have this background;) love that you made it on red, and olive base is a great compliment. Sentiment on vellum makes it so cozy and warm. As well as adorable mittens do.
thank you, darling! You’ll love this stamp, such a great one for Holiday cards.
