Welcome to Week 2 of the Art With Heart, Heart of Christmas. This year we will be hopping weekly, so hopefully we can provide you with some festive inspiration. Our host for this year's blog hop is the lovely Sharon Davern.
As I was going on a long weekend away I had to create early for this week's blog hop and at the time was still waiting for my preorder from the upcoming Mini catalogue to arrive. So with limited festive supplies I am going to show you that you don't necessarily always have to have all festive products to create festive cards.
Yes the sentiment and the shape it is embossed on, is from an existing stamp set, Brightest Glow and Labels Aglow dies but the remains of the card are all non festive products. As can be seen the sentiment has been embossed in gold onto White cardstock.
The White card base has been dry embossed using one of the Basics 3D embossing folders that are only available on the online store.
All of the foliage under the sentiment has been die cut using the dies from the Timeless Arrangements Dies which accompany the Timeless Arrangements stamp set which is an All Occasion sentiment stamp set. Cardstock colours used are Real Red, Garden Green and for some bling I have used Gold More Dazzle Specialty Paper.
For some even more added bling I have used some Gold Simply Elegant Trim and a few of the new Blooming Pearls in Gold.
Next on tonight's blog hop is the lovely Kate Morgan.

Wonderful use of non Christmas products to make a beautiful Christmas card
ReplyDeleteTimeless Arrangements are perfect dies for Christmassy foliage! I especially love the Real Red sprigs, and your use of gold and white. Great choice of embossing folder ... and it's nice to see those new pearls in use. I have them, but haven't yet looked closely at them, and they're beautiful! Gorgeous card, T. Hope you're enjoying the warmth!
ReplyDeleteI love how you have used Timeless Arrangements for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteTheresa you have definitely achieved a lovely Christmas look using this set and with traditional colours and touches of gold.
ReplyDeleteTheresa, you've beautifully shown how with limited festive supplies you can create festive cards! Love your traditional colour scheme with the touch of gold on your beautiful Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteWhat great use of non-Christmassy product to create a wonderful card, Theresa. Love the additions of gold and that lovely sentiment. Very classy card.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Theresa and so festive looking with the those colours and the gold bling and beautiful embossed greeting.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Theresa......you don't always need festive products to create Christmas cards. I love that you used the Timeless Arrangements dies with the beautiful scripty Merry Christmas. The gold sequinned paper adds a lovely bright pop.
