Joy Of the Cloche

 

Wow well here we are at Week 13 of The Art With Heart Heart Of Christmas blog hop. This week our host is Sharon Davern.

Last week I enjoyed playing with the Classic Cloche bundle so much I decided to continue with it this week. This week instead of using the village scene I have chosen to use the cute little birds.

My starting point once again was to use the DSP for colour inspiration. This week the DSP is from the Tidings of Christmas pack which is in the Annual catalogue. Both of the pieces are from this pack and feature Cherry Cobbler and Sahara Sand. I've embossed the striped DSP using the Tasteful Textile folder just to soften the boldness. 

I have then die cut another piece of the DSP using one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The next step was to stamp the Cloche outline using Basic Grey and then colour it using Stampin Blends. I've then die cut the Cloche with the corresponding die. The sentiment is also from the Classic Cloche stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and die cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle dies. 

Finally I have tied a bow with 4 strands of Linen Thread and added a couple of Holiday Rhinestones, just for a bit of bling.

Most Wonderful Time of The Year

 

Welcome to Week 12 of The Art With Heart Heart Of Christmas blog hop. This week our host is Sharon Davern.

This week I have decided to finally ink up and open up the Classic Cloche bundle on page 22 of the current mini and I have to say I love it. But then I say that about a lot of the Stampin Up products!

 

For my starting point I chose a piece of DSP from the returning Heartwarming Hugs and then this dictated the colours I chose for the stamped village image. First off I stamped the outline in Basic Grey, next the fill was stamped using Pear Pizzazz but stamped off, and finally Basic Grey again but also stamped off. I've then die cut the image using the corresponding dies. This image has then been popped up on a piece of Shimmery White cardstock that I have stamped the Cloche on in Basic Grey and also silver embossed some stars from Snowflake Wishes. Then the Cloche has also been die cut using the corresponding die. 

Here is a close up of the silver stars as they arent so easy to see in the picture above.
 

The Cloche base has been die cut from the Silverest of the Silver foils and adhered to a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock.  Finally the sentiment is also from the Classic Cloche stamp set and I have used a stitched rectangle die . Finally a bow using the Simply Elegant Trim and a couple of Holiday Rhinestones to finish it off.
