Welcome to Week 12 of the Art With Heart of Christmas , Heart of Christmas blog hop. As always I hope that you are enjoying the inspiration all of the team members are giving you for your Christmas cards this year.
This week I have taken my inspiration from a card I came across on whilst scrolling through Pinterest recently, unfortunately I didn't "pin" it so I cant tell you who it was.
Starting with a white cardstock base I have used Smokey Slate as my feature colour and teamed it with both a copper foil edge and wreath, as well as copper embossing for the sentiment. The wreath is from the Swirly Scribbles thinlits and I think it works perfectly. The adornments to the wreath come from a combination of Pretty Pines thinlits and the Frosted Bouquet framelits. Finally the bow has been cut from the Merry Merlot glimmer paper in the Joyous Noel glimmer paper pack. Both the Frosted Bouquet framelits and the glimmer paper are available to order from the current Occasions catalogue.
As mentioned the sentiment has been embossed in copper and here is a closer photograph. The sentiment is from the Feathers and Frost stamp set which is also available in the current Occasions catalogue

Welcome to another week of the Art With Heart, Heart of Christmas blog hop. Wow this is week 11. Where are all the weeks going? I hope that you have been enjoying all the inspiration from all of the other participants.
This week I decided to challenge myself and use one of the Designer Series Papers from the All Is Bright suite, but one that I have not seen used very much. I actually did find it quite a challenge as the paper itself is quite involved.
I decided to take my lead from the green and gold in the paper as well as a Real Red cardstock base. I'm not sure if you can see it from photo but the Shaded Spruce cardstock has been embossed with my favorite folder, the Subtle one. I've then added a border of Gold glimmer paper to tie in with the gold on some of the stockings. I have used the scallop edge from the Seasonal Layers thinlits in the Annual catalogue. Then added some mini gold ribbon (which has retired) and a couple of Metallic Pearls to the bottom corners and as some of the accents on a couple of the stockings on the DSP. The sentiment is from the Another Wonderful Year stamp set and has been mounted on a gold scallop.

Wow! Here we are at week 10 of the Art with Heart, Heart of Christmas blog hop. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone and we have already been able to offer you 10 weeks of Christmas inspiration.
This week I have chosen to finally break open the absolutely gorgeous Frosted Floral Specialty DSP. I cant believe I haven't paid any attention to it before now. It is absolutely stunning and is printed on shimmery white paper to give it a beautiful appearance.
For some added interest I have dry embossed the top half of the card with the Softly Falling embossing folder. The sentiment is from the First Frost stamp set which can be bundled with the Frosted Bouquet framelits, which I have actually used for the sentiment. It's a bit hard to tell from the photo but the framelits I have used actually have like a beveled edge to them for some depth. Then I've added some shimmer ribbon and colored some clear rhinestones with my Stampin Blends to coordinate.
For some added interest on the inside of the card I ahve used another stamp from the same set.
I do have to say Pear Pizazz would have to be one of my favourite greens.

Hello
Welcome to week 9 of the Art with Heart, Heart of Christmas blog hop. Did you know there are only 11 weeks until Christmas? Time just seems to be flying past.
This week I have chosen to feature one of the papers from the All is Bright Suite which starts on page 5 of the Holiday catalogue and teamed it with the Merry Christmas to All stamp set and coordinating dies.
I'm not sure if you can see it from the photo above but I have embossed the paper with the Subtle embossing folder just to add some interest. I have placed this on a base of Shaded Spruce cardstock, sponging the edges slightly with crumb cake.
I have used the Stitched shapes framelits for the sentiment.
For a bit of bling I have used the Shaded Spruce metallic ribbon from the combo on page 201 of the Annual Catalogue. It's hard to tell from the photo but this ribbon has a lovely glimmer to it. Finally a couple of the Red rhinestone jewels to finish.
That's it for this weeks card. If you would like to see more of the teams inspirational projects then jump back to Claire Daly's blog .

Welcome to another week of the Art With Heart, Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2018.
Once again I have chosen to make use of some of the beautiful Designer Series Papers that are available in the current Holiday catalogue. This paper is from the All is Bright suite. The papers are gorgeous. I have teamed this one with some gold foil sheet as a backing.
It is a bit hard to tell from the photo but I have embossed the sentiment in gold on whisper white cardstock and then for the "to you" I have reversed it and embossed with white on gold. For embellishments I have used the gold metallic edged ribbon and finally added a couple of gold faceted gems, both from the Annual catalogue.
All in all a fairly simple yet effective card to make, don't you think?
