Hello and welcome to the Heart of Christmas from the Art with Heart Team.
I hope you've been enjoying our weekly Christmas blog hop and are finding the team's festive projects inspirational, I know I am.
Here's my card for Week 4.
In my last Facebook LIVE tutorial, we made a Spinner Easel card. It was requested by one of my lovely followers. We used a daisy as the spinner element but tonight I'm sharing this Christmas version using my favourite festive stamp set and matching punch - Perfectly Plaid and the Pine Tree Punch.
and Pine Tree Punch.
This pattern of DSP from the Simply Elegant pack reminded me of those icicle lights that people decorate their homes with at Christmas time. You know the ones where the lights cascade down, well I've tried to emanate that by adding the rhinestones to represent the lights. I think it works!
There's plenty of room inside to write your personal message.
Inside the July-December Mini Catalogue, you'll find Silver Foil Specialty paper. I've used it for matting and the Layering Circle frame. This particular one has a brushed texture to it, similar to our retired Subtle 3D embossing folder - I think that's why I like it so much! I've also used some Smoky Slate card stock. The silver twine for the spinner function and bow is from the Simply Elegant Trim pack.
There'll be a list of the products I've used on my card below.
That's it from me tonight everyone, thanks for stopping by.

Very sweet card, Caroline. Yes, that's exactly what I thought of when I saw the paper you'd used - great effect! I love the little stars and rhinestones dotted over the front of the card, too.
