Heart of Christmas Week 12

 

Welcome to Week12 of the Art With Heart Heart of Christmas. This year we will be hopping weekly until the end of November, so hopefully we can provide you with some festive inspiration. Our host for this week's blog hop is the lovely Tina Gillespie. 

Following on from last week's blog whilst I had the Decorated  Pines dies out I decided to create another card. This time featuring the bell shaped die. I have also continued to use the gorgeous Lights Aglow paper.

Once again I have die cut the feature shape using the Gold Glimmer paper and have used Cherry Cobbler cardstock for the infill. I have also die cut the bow from Gold Glimmer paper.

I have mounted all of this onto Very Vanilla cardstock that has been die cut using one of the Fabulous Frames dies. The greeting, from the Decorated With Happiness stamp set has been stamped directly onto the frame and embossed using Gold embossing powder.

This has then all been mounted onto a piece of the Lights Aglow Specialty Paper and then onto a piece of the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper and finally onto Very Vanilla cardstock. 

I have added a band and bow using Gold and Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon and added a few of the Gold Adhesive Backed Pearls.

Heart of Christmas Week 11

 

Welcome to Week 9 of the Art With Heart Heart of Christmas. This year we will be hopping weekly until the end of November, 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 I have decided to have a play with the Decorated Pines dies. These dies can also be bundled with the stamp set Decorated With Happiness. I started by die cutting the Pine Leaf branch using one of the Lights Aglow Specialty papers. It's a mottled paper which I thought worked well for the Pine branch. 

 

I have then die cut a couple of the ornaments from both Gold Glimmer paper and Evening Evergreen cardstock. I have used the Evening Evergreen for the infill of the ornaments. The bows attached to the ornaments have been die cut using Real Red Glimmer paper. 

I have then mounted all of this on another piece of the Lights Aglow Specialty paper. I have then used a piece of Distressed Gold Specialty paper and die cut it using the largest of the Fabulous Frames dies.

I have then mounted all of this onto a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock. I have also added some Gold and Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon, both in a band around the card and a bow. Finally I have added a few Festive Pearls in Soft Succulent. 

The sentiment is from Brightest Glow and has been stamped in Evening Evergreen and die cut using one of the Labels Aglow dies.
