Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
why: This posting showcases another design team (DT) contribution to My Time To Craft Christmas or MTTCC. As a DT, we've been taking turns suggesting a style or technique for Christmas cards for our current theme series. Another DT member suggested using flowers in holiday colors. I've had these felt poinsettias with green glitter/spangled leaves for several years and thought it would be a different interpretation to have Christmas flowers with depth and texture.
when: MTTCC #118 starts August 1, 2025 and lasts for 13 days.
what: PROJECT = "May the Love of Christ fill your Heart this Christmas"
how-to & vendor notes for Project #1:
1. Sea Foam Green cardstock 4" x 6" = CutCardStock
2. focal panel started as 4" x 6" trimmed about 1/4" around with deckle-edge decorative scissors = focal panel from Away In A Manger collection by Echo Park
3. felt with gem centers and green glitter fabric leaves of poinsettias = two from a bigger pack = Crafter's Square
4. red satin narrow ribbon threaded twice through punched holes hidden under poinsettias = ribbon from Crafter's Square
5. Walnut/brown mini stamp pad used to ink paper and cardstock edges = Lawn Fawn
6. decorative scissors (old) = Fiskars
