A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all had a good Friday.

Before I start I will apologise for posting "yet another" Christmas card .. .. .. .. but I seem to be in Christmas mode at the moment and feel I need to make the most of that.

My card today was inspired by a little video I saw on Pinterest demonstrated by Tracey from Lavinia Stamps .. .. you can find it here if you want a little "look see".

Here is my version



This used:

Images:  Card-io Collection "Mini Tall Trees" and Penny Black "PB-4342K" Berry Tree
Sentiment:  Penny Black Clear Stamp Set "PB-30-310" Believe
Ranger Distress Ink:  Stormy Sky
Red Stickles
Crystal Glamour Dust
My Trusty Sewing Machine

Thank you for the inspiration Tracey xx .. .. .. .. This was so enjoyable to make that there is definitely going to be a batch making session of these happening here!

Oh this is stunning, Off to peep at the video now. I have a list of you tube tuts to try as long as my arm. Oops! How do you find sewing on the glitter card?? I had thought about it but thought it might do too much damage to my machine. Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Hazel x

Don't apologise to me, making Christmas cards is not just for December, I even start in January sometimes, and I think the closer you get to Christmas the harder it is to make them as you are probably in panic stage by that time, thank goodness from Rudolph Day too.
A fantastic backgrounded the black and silver looks stunning against it.

I think it is wonderful that you are in the Christmas card making mood Jules! A great way to add to the stash for sure. This one is just stunning, I love the evening sky and the snow. The video makes it look so easy to get this look. I might have to try it sometime, although I don't have a lot of confidence in getting it to look as good as yours! lol But I am gonna have a go with it anyway. I love those tree's you used and the side branches. The sentiment is perfect and i love the way you tucked your little tiny heart in the "v". Hugs, Brenda
