Poppies, Perfume & Presents!

Hi friends.

It's not long to go now and we'll be saying a sad goodbye to the beautiful patterns of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper.  This is why I've decided to share one last project with you, featuring this lovely paper.

I'll start with the card.

This is my favourite card shape to make - a square card.  And here, I have squares within squares on squares!  Little stitched squares of DSP, backed with gorgeous gold foil, layered onto Blackberry Bliss and then a larger square of gold foil.  The sentiment is from Butterfly Wishes, it's stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink and cropped with the smallest of the rectangles from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  The gold, subtle embossed foil and blackberry bliss frames are from the Ornate Frames Dies.  The double bow is made using some retired fresh fig ribbon that I had left over, but what a perfect match!

I added a narrow strip of DSP and gold foil to the inside of the card.

Next is a little box to hold some homemade perfume.

I made up this roller bottle of essential oil perfume and a little box to put it in.

Even though the bottle is lovely on its own, I wanted everything to match in this birthday

gift set.

And lastly, a bag.

The All Dressed Up Dies has a die that makes up this sweet little bag.  It's the perfect size to hold a bag of Lindt chocolates - minus one. (wink wink)!

Here is the complete gift set.  My friend loved it!

It's so easy to make beautiful matching gift sets with all of the amazing coordinating products from Stampin' Up!

Thanks for stopping by.

Heart of Christmas - Week 16

Hello friends.

Welcome to our last Heart of Christmas for 2019.

I hope that you have enjoyed all of the wonderful Christmas projects, that the Art With Heart team have shared with you over the past 15 weeks.

I also hope that you have found plenty of inspiration for your own Christmas crafting.

Tonight, the card I'm sharing with you is my first attempt at a Pop & Twist Fun Fold card.
(The measurements for this card come from Maymay Made It.)

To make this card, I've used the Brightly Gleaming Suite again.
Regardless of the style of card or 3D project, you will always get an elegant result by using these beautiful patterned papers and coordinating products.

In the photo above, I have captured the gorgeous copper accents in the Designer Series Paper. It's not always easy to take great photos of projects that feature shiny foil elements, so you may just have to purchase this beautiful DSP for yourself, to see it in real life - (wink, wink).

In the photo above, the lighting makes it easier to see the lovely filigree edging on the Pretty Peacock frame. This die, and the Subtle embossed copper foil shape are from the Ornate Frame Dies. The sentiment, stamped in Pretty Peacock onto Very Vanilla cardstock, comes from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set. I have cropped this with a Stitched Rectangles die.

Inside is where the "WOW"! takes place.

The mechanism for the 'pop & twist' function, is so easy to make. I wish I had come up with this idea myself - it's just so clever!

I stamped another sentiment from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set and again, I used dies from the Ornate Frames die set.

The copper sprigs on the left and right of the small squares, come from the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements. The writing panel is a stitched rectangle in Very Vanilla.

And for the last time, I'll direct you now to the blog of our lovely Judy May, who is hosting this final Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2019. Click here to see Judy's fabulous project and the list of tonight's hop participants, and their equally fabulous creations.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank our lovely team leader, Claire Daly, for her continued support and encouragement to participate in not only our team hops, but for all things Stampin' Up! and team related. Thank you Claire 😘

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas, and a happy & healthy 2020.🎅🎄

Heart of Christmas - Week 7

Hello and welcome to Week 7 of the Heart of Christmas.

The Art with Heart team are back again tonight, sharing their Christmas creations for 2019.

I have gone for simple elegance in my card design, and it's so simple and easy to create beautiful, elegant projects using products from the amazing Brightly Gleaming suite.

It's usually very hard to photograph the true colour of our foils, but I think this time I may have fluked it.

Night of Navy with the gorgeous copper accents ooze elegance in my opinion. I had this idea of squares inside a square, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. Each of the four squares were die-cut with the Layering Squares dies. And, who would of guessed the Ornate Frames dies are part of a Halloween Suite? That's one that I've backed my sentiment with, the one with the filigree edging. They are just beautiful, and although I'm not into Halloween, I have to say that they look very cute in the samples on pages 52-53 of the Holiday Catalogue.

I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink and die-cut with a Stitched Rectangles die instead of fussy cutting it out. I echoed this with a Copper Foil stitched rectangle. The lovely rhinestones in Night of Navy are from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels pack.

I continued the simple elegance inside by using the same layering as the front of the card. On the Very Vanilla writing panel I stamped the little dots from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set in Night of Navy and the Celestial Copper Delicata Metallic ink. I fussy cut a tiny star from the specialty designer paper in the suite and added that too. I did the same thing inside my Week 6 card last week and thought I'd repeat it here as it looked so sweet.

Thank you for stopping by.

Now it's time to pop over to Claire's blog to see her Week 7 creation and the list of participants in tonight's hop.

I read and appreciate them all. 💗

See you next time. 😘
