Heartfelt Creations Alumni blog hop

What an exciting day! I'm back with the Heartfelt Creations Alumni Blog Hop! If you came here from Sarah Miller's blog, you are on the right track. If you are here on a whim, I invite you to start the hop from Giovana Smith's blog, and enjoy!

As you hop along, leave comments for the designers to be entered for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate from Heartfelt Creations. The hop closes on Friday, November 28th at midnight est. Winners will be announced on the designers blogs on Saturday, November 29th, so come back here on that date to see if you are the lucky winner.

This Christmas ornament stamp is one of my favourites, because I love the shape and the netting look on the ornament. It looks very old world, and I like the heritage feel of it. Please note; this stamp is being discontinued and there is a very short time left to purchase it through Heartfelt Creations for a deeply discounted price!

I stamped the ornament on Heartfelt Creations pattern paper, Posy Patch Collection using versamark ink and heat embossed it in gold. Then, I sponged the edges using distress inks. Heartfelt Creations papers are very versatile - this is an elegant summer paper I've used for this Christmas card.

I cut and embossed Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia die templates to create this lovely dimensional embellishment. I dug through my old buttons and found this darling little ball button to act as my flower center. Divine!

As you continue on your way, you will head over to Gini Cagle's blog and I hope you enjoy the hop!
