Welcome to Week 7 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.
This week's creation is a blend of products from the Annual catalogue, the new mini and brand new online exclusives, and they all go together so well but that is what you would expect with all of the Stampin' Up! products.
It was actually quite hard to photograph the card this week as there are numerous different "shiny"bits for want of a better word.
The striped background paper is one of the brand new online exclusives from the Shining Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper that features Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow. One side of each sheet has a shiny element to it and the other side is matt Cherry Cobbler designs. The paper I have chosen in this case has shiny Cherry Cobbler elements which hopefully the photo shows them.
The central wreath from Cottage Wreaths has been stamped in Mossy Meadow and die cut using the corresponding die from Country Wreath dies. The berries also from the same stamp set have been stamped in Cherry Cobbler and die cut and then I have added some Red Festive Pearls. The bow at the top of the wreath is also from the same bundle and has been stamped in Cherry Cobbler and then I have applied Wink of Stella liberally.
This has then been mounted onto a piece of Mossy Meadow card that has been embossed using the Fern 3D embossing folder.
To create the sentiment I have used the new stamp set Joy To You and Masking Paper. The top line is in Mossy Meadow and then bottom two in Cherry Cobbler. This has then been die cut using one of the Something Fancy dies and then mounted onto a "reverse" side of Shining Christmas paper.
Since the base of the card is Cherry Cobbler I have added a panel to the inside of the card, using the Countryside Corners bundle and a Cherry Cobbler marker.
Excuse the shadows in the picture but I was running a bit time poor. I have also added a bow to the bottom, stamped in Cherry Cobbler and die cut and then added a little Wink of Stella to it.

Ooh, I'm looking forward to seeing that DSP in real life - it looks gorgeous! I love that you added Festive Pearls to the stamped berries; it really makes them pop. The shimmery bow on the wreath looks lovely, as does the Fern-embossed card panel. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteYour card almost perfectly matches our blog header! Beautiful card Theresa, love the shiny, shimmery paper
ReplyDeleteA beautiful festive card Theresa. I love your layering. Mounting your wreath onto a mossy meadow panel that was embossed with the fern EF is gorgeous. I love the shiny SDSP in the background too and the multi-colour sentiment. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh, Theresa, I love all your shiny bits. Those festive pearls on the berries look brilliant with the bow and Wink of Stella. This combination of colours is lovely and the dry embossed layer is the perfect TIEF behind your wreath.
ReplyDeleteYour shiny bits all look fabulous! It's a beautiful Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteA beautifully composed card, Theresa. All the elements work together so well for this classic colour combo an you can never have too many shiny bits, lol.
ReplyDeleteI was going to use the term 'mish-mash' for your mix of products but its meaning came up as a 'confused mess', 'hodgepodge' and 'jumble', none of which aptly describe the gorgeous combination of products on your very lovely card, Theresa. I just love the mixture of layers and texture and colours!
ReplyDeleteStunning combination of products Theresa. I wasn't overly keen on the new foil DSP but it actually makes a perfect backdrop for your wreath and greeting.
