But what I love the most about Christmas, is the idea of stillness, of peace and quiet, and of the calm that comes from being close to loved ones. I’ve traveled and settled far from home and I’ve left little pieces of my heart up and down California’s coast, but come Christmas time, I return to my parents’ house and I feel whole once again. I especially feel this way late at night, when I am lying in bed and I think about all of us being together again under the same roof. Being relatively new to the crafting world, I decided that I would let my emotions inspire my work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eSilent Night Christmas Cards Project Instructions:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eFirst, set down a blank, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cards-and-journals\"\u003ekraft-colored card\u003c\/a\u003e and lightly draw a dividing pencil line across its surface.

You don’t want to spray the ink directly onto the card because it will blotch.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFor the moon, spray some of the white ink onto scratch paper at close range. Use the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/color-tools\"\u003eRanger Ink Blending Tool\u003c\/a\u003e to collect the wet ink, and then gently press it down wherever you want to place your moon. The initial mark will be very bright, but you can expand your circle and soften the white by dabbing the blending tool a few more times, all while widening the circumference. To finish off your moon, glue one of Tim Holtz’s Tiding Tags to the center of your circle.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe final touch is to brush a little gel medium along the top of your snowy hills and then sprinkle it with some \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/glitters\"\u003emica flakes\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003ctable style=\"border: thin dotted #990000; width: 535px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"5\" cellpadding=\"5\" align=\"center\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd colspan=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #98996d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: xx-small;\"\u003eYou will also \u003cspan style=\"color: #990000; font-size: 18px;\"\u003e?\u003c\/span\u003e these publications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"vertical-align: top;\"\u003e \u003ctd align=\"center\" width=\"130\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/Somerset-Holidays-and-Celebrations-2014-Volume-8\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"width: 130px; height: 130px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-87od2q0wh1\/image\/data\/issueImages\/1SOM-HOL14-Somerset-Holidays-Celebrations-2014-Volume-8.jpg\" alt=\"Somerset Holidays \u0026amp; Celebrations\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"center\" width=\"130\"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/Somerset-Memories-Autumn-2014\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"width: 130px; height: 130px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-87od2q0wh1\/image\/cache\/data\/issueImages\/1MEM-1402-Somerset-Memories-Autumn-2014-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Somerset Memories Autumn 2014\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd width=\"130\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/Take-Ten-Winter-2015\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"width: 130px; height: 130px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-87od2q0wh1\/image\/cache\/data\/issueImages\/1TAK-1501-Take-Ten-Winter-2015-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Take Ten Winter 2015\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Free Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452524945559,"sku":"PROJ-0924","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/5546\/3319\/files\/PROJ-0924__82852.1558403023.1280.1280.jpg?v=1746793178","url":"https:\/\/stampington.live\/products\/silent-night-christmas-card-project","provider":"Stampington \u0026 Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
