Wall Display featuring Heartfelt Creations Designed by Cathie Allan

January 28, 2023 No Comments

Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year, as I am able to share my passion of creating beautiful gifts using my favourite rubber stamps, dies, ink, and paint. This year, as a gift for my daughter Nikki, I decided to create a photo montage—a gorgeous wall display that she can leave up year-round. I used an amazing Christmas-ish die—Noel Decorative Die from Heartfelt Creations—to do the backgrounds on all three of the handmade frames. I referred to the die as “Christmas-ish” because it was designed as part of their Christmas angel series, however, it was perfect for this “Every Summer Tells a Story” custom-made gift. A Christmas gift that keeps on giving all year long!!!! YA! Have a wonderful Saturday everyone My project was featured in the Winter 2022 issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine in my regular column – Cathie’s Choice. Get your copy of the magazine…
