Welcome to Week 4 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.
Finally I have had time to have a play with some of the newest goodies from the very soon to be released September to December mini catalogue and there really are some beautiful products. As a demonstrator I am able to preorder the products that others who aren't demonstrators can order from later this week.
My background for this card is a piece of the beautiful Joyful Specialty Paper featuring Cherry Cobbler and Gold. On top of this I have mounted another new paper from Joy of Christmas featuring Cherry Cobbler and Real Red. This has been die cut using one of the Countryside Corners dies.
I have then stamped a couple of the spray images from the new and upcoming Joy of Noel stamp set. These have then been coloured using Real Red and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. Rather than having to fussy cut these, thankfully there is a corresponding die.
Next the word "Noel" also from the Joy of Noel stamp set has been stamped in Versamark and embossed in Gold. Once again there are corresponding dies for these letters. These have been mounted onto another piece of white card that has been stamped using the "marker to stamp" technique and then die cut. The small leaves, also from the Joy of Noel stamp set have been stamped off using Old Olive.
Finally a few Festive Pearls have been added for some bling.
As the base of the card is Real Red and quite dark, the inside of the card has been decorated using the Countryside Corner stamp and die as well as a few coloured Berry Sprigs, also from Joy of Noel.

What a beautiful card, T. That background paper is gorgeous ... and I love the gold "NOEL" that helps draw the eye to the gilding in the DSP. I agree, there are so many beautiful new products coming out. Love how you've combined everything on your card.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is such an elegant card Theresa. I love how the feature of your sentiment ties in with the background paper too, and your colour palette is really elegant. Love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully composed card, Theresa. The combination of papers and embellishments you have used is delightful. Love the extra detail the stitched border gives to the label.
ReplyDeleteOh so gorgeous Theresa. I love your layering and arrangement. Your combination of DSP is beautiful and your gold NOEL perfect. xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful use of products, Theresa. I'm loving all the gold and those Countryside Corners dies are put to great use on the front and inside!
ReplyDeleteOh wow a beautifully put together card Theresa. The use of the Countryside Corner dies are a fabulous idea.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Theresa. This paper is probably my favourite from the entire catalogue. I have been holding out on purchasing the Countryside Corners dies but you are not helping my resolve.
