Heart of Christmas Week 7






Welcome to another week of the Art with Heart, Heart of Christmas blog hop. Week 7 to be exact. As always the weeks are flying by. I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying being involved in this blog hop and it has the added benefit of getting well ahead for this years festive season.

This week I have actually chosen to feature one of the bundles from our Annual Catalogue, which I purchased last year but didn't get to give some love to back then. It's the At Home bundle which isn't only for Christmas but can also be used for a birthday, a thanks for hospitality, just a general hello or even congratulations on a new home. The list is endless. The other thing I love about this bundle is NO fussy cutting as the dies are made to cut any of the stamp sets including the wreath on the door and the potted trees beside it. Just made for me!





For the background DSP and also the door I have used the Festive Farmhouse DSP from the current Seasonal Catalogue. To add some dimension I've coloured the wreath and the plant pots with our beautiful Stampin Blends which make colouring a pleasure. As always I've added that bit of bling by using the Red Rhinestone jewels. And finally added some Festive Farmhouse cotton twine in Mossy Meadow.


Hope that you like this weeks creation and if you would like to see the rest of the teams creations then just pop over to Claire Daly's blog.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the week

Heart of Christmas Week 6


Welcome to week 6 of the Art With Heart Heart of Christmas blog hop. Did you know that there are only 14 weeks until Christmas as of this week? I am so sure that those weeks are going to fly by but luckily I will at least have made all of my Christmas cards hopefully by the start of December this year! Here's hoping hey?

This week I have chosen my inspiration from the Dashing Deer bundle. The bundle consists of matching dies to the stamp sets which for me is heaven as it means no fussy cutting! The stamp set also includes some great stamps that can be used for the inside of the card to make it easy as well. 


 Once again I have used yet another paper from the Joyous Noel DSP. The paper is so versatile and every sheet if gorgeous.
I have also chosen copper foil  to edge the corners of the card, and not sure if you can see it from the photo but the deer is actually embossed with copper powder and finally a trim of Tranquil tide ruffled ribbon and a couple of pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan pearls.
I have also stamped off the small flower as a background for the deer but it is so feint it's hard to see.
I hope you like my latest Christmas creation and that you take the time to visit all of the other lovely members participating in the blog this week. You can do that by returning to Claire Daly's blog.
Hope you have a wonderful week

Heart Of Christmas Week 5






Welcome to week 5 of the Art with Heart Heart of Christmas blog hop for week 5. The weeks just seem to be flying by at the moment so it's great that by participating in this blog hop I'm actually getting a great start on my Christmas cards for the upcoming season.

This week I have chosen to once again use the stunning Joyous Noel DSP. I find that this paper has so many different looks to create some beautiful cards. I'm not sure if you can see the detail from the photo but I have actually embossed the paper with the Subtle embossing folder just to add a bit of texture. I'm also loving teaming it with Merry Merlot. For the edges I have used the Delicate Details edgelits from the Annual Catalogue. The sentiment is from Timeless Tidings which you can purchase individually or purchase the Timeless Tidings project kit for some lovely easy to make cards.


I hope that you like my latest card and are enjoying the inspiration for your cards this coming Christmas. For even more inspiration you can see the rest of the teams creations by visiting Claire Daly's blog
Thanks again

Heart of Christmas Week 4 2018







Welcome to Week 4 of The Art with Heart, Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2018. Once again I hope that you are enjoying the inspiration from all of the other members.

Yay! from today everyone is able to purchase some of the beautiful new products from our brand new Holiday catalogue. So if you don't already have a demonstrator to help you and you are in Australia and would like to purchase any of the Stampin Up! products then please contact me via my Facebook tab at the top of this page.

I have to confess that this week I have been very time poor after having a flying visit interstate for Father' Day, so I have chosen to CASE a card previously made by Angelique Nederpel that I found on Pinterest. Hope you like it.


It features the DSP, Under the Mistletoe which is in our Annual Catalogue, as well as some framelits and thinlits from the same. I have also trimmed the envelope with the same DSP in an endeavour to use as much of it as possible.Oh and the embossing folder is also from there too! In fact the only items from the new Holiday catalogue are the sentiment, from Peaceful Noel and the bling!


 As always one has to have some bling for Christmas.

I hope that you like my latest card and are enjoying the inspiration for your cards this coming Christmas. For even more inspiration you can see the rest of the teams creations by visiting Clare Daly's blog
Thanks again
