Heart of Christmas - week 2 Jolly Holly

 


It's time for week 2 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team.
For this week's card I have used the Jolly Holly Bundle. I used the Hybrid Embossing Folder and the Die to emboss two pieces of Basic White Card stock.


I coloured the holly leaves with a Water Painter and Granny Apple Green ink. The holly berries were coloured with Real Red ink. I mounted these pieces to a piece of Garden Green card stock and then onto a Granny Apple Green card base. I made this card extra long by folding a 21cm x 21cm piece of Granny Apple Green in half.


The greeting was stamped in Real Red ink on Basic White and cut out with stitched rectangle dies. I added a bow in a retired Real Red ribbon and a few Cherry Cobbler Adhesive-backed Berries.

Next blog in our hop belongs to Sharon Davern.

Heart of Christmas 2025 - week 1

 



It’s time for the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every Monday evening until the start of Christmas we will be featuring Christmas projects using products from the Sept to Dec Mini Catalogue and the Online Exclusives.

The Sept to Dec Catalogue starts on the 3rd of September.


For today's card I am using the When A Child Is Born stamp set. I stamped the main image on Basic White in Early Espresso ink. I cut this out with one of the Everyday Arches Dies. I stamped the manger and the lamb on a separate piece of Basic White card stock.


I coloured all of the images with Blends Markers. I wanted to keep the colours soft and subtle so the colours I used were Petal Pink, Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Lemon Lolly. Once coloured I fussy cut the manger and lamb and attached them to the main image with Dimensionals.


The background DSP is from the Woven Textures DSP Pack. The card base is Early Espresso card stock.


Please continue along the blog hop to see the beautiful projects the other participants have to share with you. Next in line is Rosa Leyden.

Cherry Cobbler Christmas

 

Hi stamping friends, here is tonight's card for the Art With Heart Instagram Hop. I have used the Jolly Holly Bundle with the Stamp Set and Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies. This clever Embossing Folder embosses and cuts at the same time( when the dies are inside the folder). 


I cut a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock with the hybrid folder and applied Dimensionals to the back of all of the leaves. So that the leaves really popped I applied Tombow Glue behind the berries and the flat/background areas of the embossed piece.


The greeting was stamped on Gray Granite card stock and heat embossed in Gold. I used the Unbounded Dies to cut the greeting in three layers, Cherry Cobbler and Gold Foil. 


The cute berries are from the Cherry Cobbler and Pearl Adhesive Backed Berries. For a final bit of gold shine I added a piece of Season of Elegance DSP behind the embossed piece. If you would like to follow the entire Insta Hop please head to my Instagram page at @handstamped_by_rachel.

Next Wed I will away from internet connection in my caravan but I hope to have my Coastal Cabana project to share with you anyway.

Thanks,

Cajun Craze Rustic Centerpiece


Hi Stampers, the card I have to share tonight was made for the Art With Heart InstaHop featuring Cajun Craze.


I stamped the Sunflower image in Memento Black ink on Very Vanilla card stock and coloured with Blends Markers. The colours I used are listed below. The greeting is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. I wanted the two rows of text to be on separate strips so I stamped them separately.
 

The image was cut out with Everyday Arches Dies, and mounted on a larger arch from Cajun Craze card stock. The background DSP is from the Boho Vibes pack. There' a piece of Linen Thread wrapped around the bottom of the image.
If you would like to follow the complete InstaHop please head to my page @handstamped_by_rachel.
