Heart of Christmas week 2 - Trees For Sale Shaker Card

Hello stampers, I'm back to share week 2 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with you. I know, Christmas already? But just think, if you start making your Christmas cards now you'll be well prepared by the time you need to write your cards.

This week I have used the Trees For Sale stamp set from the July to December Mini Catalogue and the coordinating dies called Tree Lots Dies which are on of the Sale-a-bration rewards currently available for FREE with any $90 purchase.

I used these products to make a shaker card.

I cut the from panel with the three different sizes tree dies. I then stamped the three trees, using the previously cut piece as a guide.

The front of the card was masked with a piece cut from a Basic Borders Dies, a blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink.

I loaded my shaker card with sequins from the Sequins For Everything Pack before assembling the card. I used the large frame from the Fabulous Frames Dies to border my trees. Before attaching this piece to the card from I wound a piece of gold twine around the base of the shaker piece. The card base is Real Red.

It's now time to see what my lovely friend and talented stamper Christine Blain has to share with us. Hop over and check it out, it's amazing!

If you encounter any issues with the links on our hop head to Sharon Davern's blog as she is the wonderful host of our Christmas Blog Hops and will have a complete list of tonight's participants.

Thanks for visiting,

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Heart of Christmas 2020 - November

Hello stampers, welcome to the final Heart of Christmas Showcase for 2020. I guess that means we're getting close to Christmas! The Art With Heart Team have some wonderful creations to share with you for the final time this year. Not that there won't be plenty of Christmas and other inspiration to come, it just won't be in an organised Heart of Christmas Showcase.

To make tonight's card I used the Pine Woods Dies. One of the dies cuts out only the leaves and trunk of the tree and not the outside, which makes it perfect for a shaker card.

I cut this shape from Very Vanilla card stock, and then with the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

A piece of Window Sheet was adhered behind the die cut. I used Foam Adhesive Strips around the outside of the tree to form a pocket for the shaker card. I placed a pile of sequins on the Mossy Meadow Stitched Rectangle Die and then centered the Very Vanilla piece over the top.

The greeting is from the Itty Bitty Christmas set and was heat embossed in Gold Emboss Powder on a strip of Very Vanilla. The card base is a piece of Thick Very Vanilla card stock.

Thank you for visiting our last Heart of Christmas Showcase. For more Christmas inspiration from the Art With Heart Team head to Judy's blog for a full list of tonight's participants.

All of the products are from Stampin' Up! and are available on my website.
