Heart of Christmas Week 22

 

Welcome to Week 22 of The Art With Heart Heart Of Christmas blog hop. This week our host is Tina Gillespie and it will be our last Heart Of Christmas blog hop for 2021. I hope that you have enjoyed the creations we have shared with you each week and it has given you inspiration.

This week I have 2 simple cards to share with you, both of which feature the beautiful Whimsy and Wonder DSP which although is not the traditional christmas colours which I tend to favour, I have absolutely loved.

For my first card I have started with a piece of the DSP and chosen a couple of the colours in it to highlight. I have die cut a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock using one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies and then embossed it using one of the Meadow Moments embossing folders. 

For the ornament I have used Polished Pink cardstock for the base and then added the detail using Silver foil. The sentiment has been embossed using Silver and then die cut with one of the Ornate Frames dies. Finally a bow using Simply Elegant trim and a few Rhinestone jewels.  

For my second card I have used a different piece of DSP but still from the same pack. I have used the very pretty pale pink snowflake paper. 

To coordinate with the DSP I have embossed a piece of Shimmery White cardstock using one of the Wintry folders with snowflakes. For this card the background of the ornament has been die cut using Blushing Bride and the detail using Silver foil again.

As with my first card the sentiment has been embossed in silver and I have used the Simply Elegant trim for a bow and a few Rhinestone jewels.

Heart of Christmas Week 16

 

Welcome to Week 16 of The Art With Heart Heart Of Christmas blog hop. This week our host is Tina Gillespie .

Following on from last week's Heart Of Christmas blog hop I have decided to have another play with the Bright Baubles bundle. This week my starting point was one of the "reverse" sides of the Whimsy and Wonder DSPs.

 I started by embossing the DSP using the Tasteful Textile folder to add some texture. For one of the baubles I stamped the image in Versamark and the embossed it with White embossing powder and then die cut the bauble using the corresponding die. For the second bauble I stamped the image with Mint Macaron onto Shimmery White cardstock and then die cut it with the corresponding die. I also coloured some of the decorative images using the Mint Macaron Stampin Blend. 

For the bauble on the left I have used Metallic Pearls for decoration and for the bauble on the right I had to colour some Basic Pearl Jewels using a Mint Macaron Stampin Blend. The sentiment is also from the same bundle and I have embossed it with White embossing powder and then die cut it with one of the Ornate Frames dies. 

I really love how this bundle makes it so easy to make lovely Christmas cards and I can see myself using it more in the coming weeks.

'Tis The Season for Baubles

 

Welcome to Week 11 of The Art With Heart Heart Of Christmas blog hop. This week our host is Tina Gillespie.

This week I have taken my inspiration from Page 24 of the July to December mini catalogue. Although I do love the traditional Christmas colours of Red, Green and White, these Pinks and Blues are a lovely alternate.

My starting point for this card was to stamp multiple images of the baubles from the Whimsical Trees stamp set using my stamparatus. I initially stamped the top row moving the plate along every second spot. I then moved the stamp down and stamped using the alternate spots on the Stamparatus. Using the Stamparatus makes it so easy to get multiple images at precise regular intervals.I then coloured the images using Stampin Blends. Then using the corresponding dies I stamped, coloured, and cut 2 more images and  placed them over the existing images to give some depth.

 

I've then added a banner along the top using the Silver foil from the Specialty pack in the mini and die cut it using the Basic Borders. I then mounted all of this on a piece of the matching DSP from the Whimsy and Wonder pack. I've added some of the Silver Simply Elegant Trim and the sentiment is from Christmas to Remember and has been die cut with the corresponding die from Seasonal Labels.

Love Of The Season

 

Welcome to Week 8 of The Art With Heart Heart Of Christmas blog hop. This week our host is Tina Gillespie.

This week I have finally decided to break open the Whimsical Trees bundle and what a beautiful bundle it is with a gorgeous paper to coordinate.

 

The background paper is from the Whimsy and Wonder DSP pack and I have embossed it using the Evergreen Forest3D folder to blend in with the trees that I have die cut using the Christmas Tree dies. It's a bit hard to see in the photo above but here is a close up.

The Christmas trees have been die cut using Evening Evergreen and Mint Macaron and then I have die cut the garland using the Be Dazzling paper that you can earn free during Saleabration. I have also used it to die cut the baubles on the left tree as well as the star on top. Then a couple of the In Colour jewels on the right tree in Polished Pink for the baubles. Finally the couple of gifts at the base of the tree have been cut from the Whimsy and Wonder DSP. The sentiment is also from the Whimsical Trees stamp set and I have stamped it on Vellum and die cut it using the Stitched Sweetly dies.
