Heart of Christmas week 13 - Wishes All Around

Hello stamping friends, it's time for more Christmas inspiration with week 13 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop.

This week I have two wreath cards to share with you, using the dies from the Wishes All Around Die set.

For the first card I have used the Brushed Gold Cards and Envelopes as my card base. These cards and envelopes come pre printed with the gold streaks on them. The wreathes on this card are cut from Granny Apple Green card stock and Granny Apple Green Foil from the Foil Sheets pack in the Dec to Jan Mini catalogue.

For the second card I again used Granny Apple Green for the top wreath and Shaded Spruce for the bottom wreath. The DSP in the background is from the Joy of Christmas DSP pack. The links for all of these products are listed below. If you have any questions about these products please contact me.

The berries on both cards were made using the red enamel from the Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics. This enamel is like a thick paint that dries into berry looking dots.

Now it's time to hop over to see what the amazingly lovely and talented Christine Blain has to share with us.

If you encounter any problems with the links in our hop please head to Sharon's blog as she is the fabulous host of our Heart of Christmas blog hops and has a full list of tonight's participants.

Thanks for hopping by,

Rachel

Heart of Christmas Blog Hop week 12 - So Very Merry Wishes

Hello friends, welcome to week 12 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with members of the Art With Heart Team. Over the last 12 weeks we have been sharing our Christmas projects with you to inspire you in your Christmas crafting endeavours.

Today the card I have to share with you uses two wonderful and versatile stamp sets, So Very Merry and More Wishes. I was very excited to see More Wishes in the Sept to Dec catalogue as it co ordinates with the Biggest Wishes stamp set from the Annual Catalogue, which is one that I use for a lot of my cards.

I stamped MERRY four times and then Christmas underneath,in Real Red ink. I did dust off my Stamaparatus for this card, but it could be done with out it as the stamps are photopolymer and easy to align.

The cardinal(?) stamp from the So Very Merry set was stamped in Memento ink and coloured with Blends Markers.

All of the products used to make this card are available from my online Stampin' Up! store, the links are below.

I now it's time to see what amazing project Rosa Leyden has to share with us. We hope we have inspired you to get stamping.

If you have any problems with the links on our hop, please head to Sharon's blog as she is the wonderful host of tonight's hop and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

Thanks for stopping by,

Rachel

Heart of Christmas Blog Hop week 11- Radiant Light

Hello stampers, welcome to week 11 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week until the end of Nov we will be sharing our Christmas projects with you.

This week I have used the Radiant Light stamp set to create two cards.

For the first card I embossed the candle image in Gold Embossing Powder. The image was watercoloured using a Water Painter and the inks.

The image was cut using a Deckled Rectangle Die.The Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper mat was also cut with a Deckled Rectangle Die.

For the second card the candle image was also embossed in Gold Embossing Powder and coloured with a Water Painter and SU inks.

The background paper is from the Shining Brightly Specialty DSP Pack.

All of the products used to make these cards are available through my Stampin' Up! online store. Please contact me with any questions.

Please head to Rosa's blog for the next stop in our blog hop.
