Heart of Christmas Week 6


Hello & welcome to Week 6 of the Heart of Christmas from the 
Art with Heart team.

I've gone for a little touch of elegance on my card tonight.


This gorgeous pattern is one from the All is Bright DSP pack. There are some beautiful photographic images in the pack and this one screamed elegance to me.
I've used the pinecones and leaves from the Pretty Pines Thinlits dies and the sweet bow from that set and added them to a scalloped circle on a gold foil stitched shape circle.


The Merry Christmas greeting is from the photopolymer Star of Light stamp set in the Annual Catalogue, and it's been heat embossed in gold.


I love this banner shape die. It's from the Petals and More Thinlits dies. The gold foil is the actual size and for the greeting I placed the die close to the merry and cut, then put it back into the die with the other end close to the 's' of christmas and cut just the end. Then I trimmed top and bottom with my paper snips. Of course I have to have my obligatory bit of bling with my rhinestones.
*For my scalloped circle and one of the leaves, I have used a retired glimmer paper, which is why I didn't include it in the product list below, however there is a new glimmer paper called 'Sparkle', and I know this would be just as gorgeous as the retired one. It's available in our Annual Catalogue.

Inside the card I glued a narrow strip of the DSP that I attached to a strip of gold foil with about an 1/8" showing at the top.


Each week I really look forward to seeing what the other girls from the team have created for their Heart of Christmas projects and of course you can see them too just by using the link to Claire's blog below.

Heart of Christmas Week 4


Hi stamping friends, here we are at Week 4 of our Heart of Christmas blog hop with the Art with Heart team.
The Holiday Catalogue is now live and customers can finally purchase the gorgeous goodies inside it.
In my opinion, this is the BEST holiday catalogue that I've seen! There is something to suit everyone's taste of Christmas crafting, and those who celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving festivities.

2018 Holiday Catalogue

My card tonight, features old and new product.



I'll start with the new products. I've used the Joyous Noel Specialty DSP and the Joyous Noel 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper. These products can be found on page 29 of the Holiday Catalogue. You'll have to forgive me if I use the words, gorgeous or beautiful too many times tonight. The DSP features copper accents and the designs are just gorgeous!
Did you pick the "older products" yet?
They're really not old, as they are still in the current Annual Catalogue, I've used the Pretty Pines thinlits dies to cut out the leaf and berry sprigs from the glimmer paper in all three of the colours.
There's Copper, Merry Merlot and Tranquil Tide. Just so beautiful.
The ends of the Merry Merlot glimmer paper were punched out using the Detailed Trio Punch in the AC, and the sentiment, from 'Itty Bitty Greetings', is heat embossed with our white embossing powder. I wrapped some copper metallic thread around the strip of glimmer paper and coloured the basic rhinestones with the dark cherry cobbler Stampin' Blend marker.

Here's a close-up photo.


The Merry Merlot banner and Classic Label sentiment are both attached with dimensionals.


One tip I will share with you is to let your rhinestones dry before adding them to your card. I was just a little bit anxious to stick them on before they had dried properly, and the result was a tiny "boo boo" - oops!
Thank you for joining us on our hop tonight. To see more festive creations, just use Claire's blog link below.
