I created and shared this elegant black and gold holiday card earlier this weekend and today I’m sharing a more traditional Christmas card!

'Tis the Season by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero Arts

To start I stamped the pretty Presents Background cling stamp onto white cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I stamped the gift box from In for the Holidays onto white cardstock, colored it with copics, and then die-cut it with the coordinating die.  I also stamped the sentiment from In for the Holidays onto black cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.

'Tis the Season by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero Arts

I figured out where I wanted to place the gift box and blended a little strawberry ink over the embossed background.  Then I added the gift box and sentiment banner with foam mounting tape.   Finally, I added a layer of clear lacquer over the ribbon and a few sequins from the Poinsettia mix to finish the card!

To celebrate the release Hero Arts is giving away one kit as a prize to one blog reader selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop so make sure you leave a comment at each hop stop for the most chances to win!  If you win and have already purchased the kit you will be reimbursed!  Please your comments before 11:59PM EST on Sunday, November 11th at 11:59pm!  Here’s a list of all the stops on the hop:
