Add a little Sparkle!



The Art With Heart team are back with our last blog hop for 2019.
Getting into the spirit of Christmas and New Year celebrations, our theme tonight is 'Add a Little Sparkle'.
We have a huge range of sparkly projects to share with you, featuring products such as, Glimmer Paper, Rhinestones, Delicata Ink, Shimmery white cardstock and much more. All of these products are available from Stampin' Up!. If you have any questions about the products, just ask any of the lovely ladies in tonight's hop.

My project features the beautiful 6" x 6" Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Both sides of the paper are equally beautiful, but for my sparkly project I used the silver foil designs.

Silver and White together send out a lovely, bright and happy vibe I believe. The combination can be used for so many celebratory occasions - Engagements, Weddings, Christenings, Anniversaries, significant birthdays, and of course, Christmas.


I made these tree ornaments for each of the ladies that attended my last card class for 2019. Inside is a yummy peppermint Lindt chocolate ball.
It is an Origami fold, and I found this on the YouTube channel of Mixed Up Craft.


A hole, punched in the top of each folded triangle, allows you to thread the ribbon through and gently pull to draw it closed. (The red ribbon shown above is retired).
The hanging loops are made with a strand from the 5/8" Flax Ribbon.
For some extra sparkle, I punched out a 1 3/8" scalloped circle from Silver Glimmer paper. The Real Red sentiment comes from the #Elfie stamp set, this was backed with the smaller scallop punch in Real Red cardstock. A couple of red rhinestones finish off the embellishing.


It's time to thank the lovely Rachel Woollard for stepping in and hosting the remaining monthly Art With Heart team blog hops for 2019. And a thank you also, to our other team members who have hosted blog hops throughout the year. We have a wonderful and supportive team, ready to put up their hand when needed - thank you ladies.

The next demonstrator to share their sparkly project with us is, the delightful and talented Tina Gillespie.

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.
