Heart of Christmas - Week 2

Hello and welcome to Week 2 of the Heart of Christmas from the Art with Heart Team.

I hope you'll forgive me, but I just couldn't resist sharing another sneak peek of the gorgeous patterns in the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty DSP pack from the new July-December 2021 Mini Catalogue.

I created a Christmas bauble with the Floating Strip Technique.

I've cut my strips with the narrow stitched rectangle die from the All Dressed Up die set and attached them to a Layering Circle of Window Sheet. Make sure you leave a gap between each piece. I've attached mine with Tear & Tape adhesive and trimmed the excess with my paper snips.

I cut strips of foam adhesive and hid them behind the strips of DSP.

I absolutely love the Polished Pink watercolour wash. I wanted to add some Christmas sparkle, so when this had dried I drew thin lines over the top with the Wink of Stella glitter pen. 

Can you guess what die I have used to create the top of the bauble?

It's the shallow bowl type pot from the Perfect Plants die set, turned upside down. What a find!

The hanger and bow at the top of the bauble are made with the silver Simply Elegant trim.

I added a combination of opal rounds and basic rhinestones for some 3D sparkle. The sentiment from the Snowman Season stamp set was heat embossed in white over Basic Black card stock and fussy cut.

I always like to keep the inside decoration quite simple.

Other than being a little bit time consuming, there is nothing difficult or hard in making this Floating Strip Technique. You can use a combination of narrow and wide cut strips too. I just happen to love the narrow stitched rectangle die!

I love decorating the back flap of the envelopes. Just look at those gorgeous trees! (Please note: the envelopes are not a Stampin' Up! product.)

Every single pattern in the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper is AWESOME!!!

Because the July-December 2021 Mini Catalogue doesn't go LIVE to customers until August 3rd, I can only link to current products in my online store below.

If you have any questions about my card or anything else related to Stampin' Up! please don't hesitate to get in touch.

That's it from me tonight everyone, thanks for stopping by.
