Heart of Christmas - Week 10



Hello and welcome everyone to Week 10 of the Heart of Christmas with the Art with Heart Team.

I've chosen a Z-fold design for this week's card.


For the front of the card I have used one of the patterns from the Feels Like Frost 6" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper. This particular pattern has lovely purple hues throughout, so I chose Purple Posy and Night of Navy to compliment it, and I've featured the stamp set and punch from the Perfectly Plaid Bundle.
I stamped one tree, tone on tone onto Night of Navy, and the other tree was heat embossed onto some Vellum using the sparkly Shimmer White embossing powder. Then I punched them out with the Pine Tree Punch. I added them to a Stitched Shape circle in Vellum using dimensionals. The lovely sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set, was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto Whisper White cardstock and die-cut with a Stitched Rectangle die. I matted this onto a piece of Night of Navy CS.


In the photo above, you can see that I added a few basic rhinestones to the front of the card for some extra sparkle and the Night of Navy tree has Wink of Stella leaves. The 'Z' part of the card is the Whisper White scored panel. There are lots of styles of this type of fun-fold design and I found this one on Pinterest.


To the middle panel of the card I added the stamped 'Merry Christmas' in Night of Navy, die-cut with a Stitched Rectangle die, and matted with another stitched rectangle in Night of Navy cardstock. I stamped the Christmas tree directly onto the writing panel and added Wink of Stella to the leaves. This photo gives you a better look at how the card is constructed.

I love the combination of colours on this card for a non-traditional look and feel.

      Thank you Judy x. It is different to most Z-Fold cards I've seen. I think the demonstrators name was Beverley Morales who posted this version on Pinterest.

    A lovely design Caroline and that DSP is super pretty, especially with the stitched rectangles and that lovely sentiment on the front.
