10 June 2022 MTTCC #36 Theme is Candles and or Lanterns DT cards

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! The last few years I've really enjoyed creating Christmas cards throughout the year! Getting them ready for mailing is a whole other ballgame!!! Does anyone else experience that? 

This posting features candle or lantern-themed Christmas cards for My Time To Craft Christmas challenge blog. I'm on the design team and these cards are also shown on MTTCC posting (link will be included below). Challenge #36 competition starts June 10 and goes to June 23, 2022. Make sure to check the challenges every 2 weeks for a new topic. We try to provide different wintery and festive themes to help you create a variety of holiday cards. 

Card #1 was crafted to sort of look like the outer view of the front door of a house or cabin. With lanterns on each side and a greenery arrangement in the center. Both patterned cardstocks and ephemera are from the Cottage Christmas collection by Fancy Pants Designs (2018). 

Card #1 Lighting Your Way Home For Christmas card=


Red ink was applied to all cardstock edges except for the light kraft flat card base (from The Paper Source website). The red metallic foil dazzles (MC) are from Paper Wishes website.



Card #2= Blessed Advent--Tis the Season To Rejoice Christmas card=


A few design and vendor notes: the light kraft flat card base with matching envelope are from The Paper Source website; the solid and patterned papers are scraps; the 2 die-cuts/ephemera are from Echo Park's Away in a Manger collection; the sheer ribbon was white and was altered with a green glitter paint pen; top background papers' edges were inked in blue



Didn't both cards turn out to be lovely? Festive without being too fussy.
