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 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.
