Heart of Christmas Week 17

 

Welcome to Week 17 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 once again Sharon Davern.

It's been a few weeks since I last participated in the blog hop as I've been busy holidaying in Darwin and celebrating our son's University graduation. 

For my card this week I have once again used the beautiful Lights Aglow Specialty paper along with the coordinating Christmas Lights bundle and the Brightest Glow bundle. In particular I wanted to use the non-traditional piece of Lights Aglow paper featuring black. 

 

I started by stamping a couple of the largest snowflakes in Versamark from the Christmas Lights stamp set and then embossing them with gold. I then die cut these using the corresponding die from the Twinkling Lights dies along with another using Gold Glimmer paper.

I have then mounted these onto the Lights Aglow paper featuring black and mounted all of this on to a piece of Gold Glimmer paper. 

The sentiment from Brightest Glow has been gold embossed onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and then die cut using one of the Labels Aglow dies.

I have then threaded some of the Gold and Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon through the ends of the sentiment panel and wrapped it around the band of the card. All of this has then been mounted onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.

Finally I have added a few Gold Festive Pearls for some bling.

Heart of Christmas Week 13

Welcome to Week 13 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 once again Sharon Davern.

This week I have decided that I had to get a move on and use the fabulous Tree Trimming dies before they are no longer available to purchase. I have also been loving the Lights Aglow paper so have continued using it in this week's card.

 I started by stamping the tree from the Trimming the Tree stamp set in both Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent. I then die cut it using the dies from the Tree Trimming die set. The smaller of the dies actually adds texture to the tree but it is a bit hard to see that in this photo.

The tree basket also has a die for it and I have used Soft Suede cardstock for this. 

I have then adhered some Gold Glimmer paper to a piece of Adhesive Sheet and then die cut the ornaments and star for the tree. This has all been popped onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock that has been cut using one of the Deckled Rectangle dies, using Dimensionals. 

I have then die cut some Distressed Gold Specialty paper using one of the corner sets of dies from Fabulous Frames dies. The photo below shows the frames in closer detail. 

 
 This has then all been mounted onto a piece of the Lights Aglow paper.

The sentiment  is from the Trimming the Tree stamp set and has been stamped in Versamark and embossed in Gold. This has then been die cut using one of the frame dies from the Tree Trimming Dies. I have posted a closer photo below to show the lovely detail in the frame die.

 Finally I have added some Gold Adhesive Backed Pearls to both the corner frames and sentiment panel.

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 2

 

Welcome to Week 2 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. 

For my card this week I have decided to break open the brand new Window Wishes stamp set and the matching dies. This bundle is in the new mini Catalogue. I have also chosen another new product from the same catalogue, the Lights Aglow Specialty paper. I originally received this lovely paper as part of a team share but love it so much I have subsequently ordered some more!

My starting point for this card was to die cut the window frame using white and black cardstock and then mount it on a piece of the Lights Aglow paper. I chose this paper because it makes me think you are looking from the inside to the night sky outside. I have also added a hill slope using White Glimmer paper to hopefully make it look like the home is atop a snow covered hill. The home has been stamped in Real Red and has been die cut using the matching dies for both the base of the home and the roof. I have also added a bow die cut from Real Red Glimmer paper , to the top of the window frame.

I have then mounted this scene onto a piece of white cardstock that I have embossed using one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders. 

The sentiment is from the Brightest Glow stamp set and has been stamped in Versamark and then embossed using Gold embossing powder. It was a bit hard to see this in the photo of the whole card so the photo below shows it in  ore detail. The sentiment has been die cut using one of the circular frame dies from matching dies.

The little stars in the left hand corner have been cut using Real Red and Gold glimmer paper and one of the Twinkling Lights dies. These have been popped on some glue dots to add some depth.I have also added a few Red Adhesive Backed Pearls.

Finally all of this has been mounted on another piece of the Lights Aglow paper but this time one of the red pieces, and then mounted on to some thick white cardstock.
