Heart of Christmas - Week 15




Hello everyone.
I'm feeling a little sad tonight because it's our last Heart of Christmas post for 2018.
I hope that you have enjoyed seeing our weekly creations and that you have gathered lots of inspiration for your festive crafting. So, for the last time, welcome to tonight's Heart of Christmas blog hop with the Art with Heart team.

Tonight I'm sharing card #5 in my square card series. I've enjoyed making these cards so much that I might just have to make and share a few more with you all. But for now, here is tonight's card.


The Star of Light stamp set and coordinating dies, has been one of my Christmas favourites' since it first appeared in our 2016 Holiday Catalogue. With its gorgeous stars and beautiful sentiments, it's hard not to fall in love with it. Tonight, I've gone with a non-traditional colour scheme in Balmy Blue with accents of Night of Navy.
I've used the Buffalo Check background stamp and stamped tone on tone in the balmy blue and then randomly stamped the little stars in night of navy. I stamped the sentiment in both blue's and just trimmed to get each word in the different colours, and then backed them with the opposite colour cardstock.


I heat embossed in white onto the solid star and layered other die-cut stars on top, finishing with a clear rhinestone. Of course with all those sparkly stars, I just had to use some of the Sparkle Glimmer Paper.

Well it's time to sign off on this last Heart of Christmas, and to thank our lovely team leader Claire for hosting this fun, festive hop for 2018. Thank you Claire x

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 2


Hi stamping friends and welcome to Week 2 of the Heart of Christmas from the Art with Heart team.

I have really been enjoying creating cards lately with copper heat embossing and tonight's project is no exception.


The 'Star of Light' stamp set made its first appearance in the 2016 Holiday Catalogue and it carried over into last years and this years Annual Catalogue. It's obviously a popular set to have survived this long and you can see why. It also has coordinating thinlits and it's one of my Christmas favourites to use on my cards. The large star was stamped directly onto a Powder Pink pattern from the 6" x 6" DSP In Colour pack. I ended up gluing a piece of regular weight Whisper White cardstock on the back of it for stability before die-cutting with the largest scalloped oval framelit. I backed this with a whisper white regular oval to separate it from the Quilt Top embossed panel.


The smaller stars were stamped and heat embossed onto powder pink cardstock and die-cut with their matching stars framelit. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and was die-cut with the banner from Petals & More thinlits. I had just three of the clear rhinestones left, until my order comes this week, and I coloured them in with my bronze Stampin' Blend marker.

Thank you for stopping by tonight, to see more Christmas creations from the Art with Heart team, hop over to Claire's blog to continue.
