Heart of Christmas week 11 Surfing Santa Fancy Fold

 



Hello stamping friends. Welcome to week 11 of the Heart of Christmas blog hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week until the end of November we will be here to share some Christmas inspiration with you.

For this week’s card I have returned to the Surfing Santa stamp set. This is a stamp only set from the catalogue which means there are no coordinating dies.

I stamped the main image on Basic White card stock and then coloured with Blends Markers. With a mask over the Santa image, I stamped the first wave in Coastal Cabana. I cut out the image with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. The  circle was mounted on a very simple fancy fold card. 

I cut an A4 sheet in half lengthwise for the card base. I scored down the middle on the short side and the folded it in half. I trimmed 5cm off the front edge. The square on the front is 7.4cm and has been attached on the edge of the front as a diamond. The Garden Green mat is 7cm square.

I used one sheet from the Take a Bow DSP and another from the Reindeer Days DSP as background papers. The Santa image was attached to the Garden Green mat with Dimensionals. I stamped and cut a second wave image to attach in from of Santa.
The greeting is stamped in Real Red and cut with another Stylish Shapes Die.
All of the products are available through my Online Store.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 24 - Flirty Flamingo Christmas Trees

 



Week 24 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop features Flirty Flamingo, a lovely rose pink that is in our Brights Colour Family.


I have used Flirty Flamingo for a Christmas card this week. I combined Flirty Flamingo with Pretty Peacock and a load of Basic White.


I used the Decorative Christmas Bundle for the Christmas Trees. 

The patterned papers are from the Hello Irresistible DSP which is one of our Online Exclusives products. To see the full range of Online Exclusives head to my Online Store and find the Online Exclusives button under the  Shop Products heading, or click on the link.


For a bit of sparkle I found some Pretty Peacock Glimmer Paper from the Three Colour Glimmer Paper pack, which is another of our Online Exclusives.


The background card stock has been embossed with the Painted Trees 3D embossing folder. I have used a thin Flirty Flamingo mat behind the embossed piece to break up the white expanse. The greeting has been white embossed on Vellum card stock.

Heart of Christmas week 10 - Humble Home

 



For week 10 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop I have two cards to share with you. They are the same layout and use the same stamp set but I have changed the colours and DSP.
Both cards use the Humble Home Bundle.


For the first card I stamped the image on Basic White card stock and coloured using Blends Markers. The colours I used were Petal Pink, Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce.


The DSP is from the Snowy Scenes DSP. The card base is Poppy Parade and the card front is Petal Pink. I embossed the card front with the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder.


For the second card I heat embossed the house image on Pecan Pie card stock in White Embossing Powder. I punched it out with the coordinating Humble Home Punch.


The wreath was coloured with Blends Markers.
For this card I used the Sentimental  Christmas DSP on a Shy Shamrock card base. I stamped Merry Christmas in the Shy Shamrock ink on the card front.


The circles behind the house are Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce cut with the 2 1/4" and 2 1/2" punches .

All of the products used to make these cards are available through my Online Stampin' Up! Store.
