Heart of Christmas week 10 - Ornamental Christmas

I'm finally back for another Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. We only have a few weeks left of our Christmas Blog Hop so I am going to make an extra big effort to be here for each of them.

For today's card I have used the Ornamental Christmas Bundle. To make the background for my card I stamped the Merry Christmas greeting numerous times in Memento Black ink on Basic White card stock.

I embossed another Merry Christmas and the 'spikey' tree in Gold Embossing Powder. I cut out the embossed greeting with a circle from the Stylish Shapes dies and the tree with the co ordinating die.

I added a bow from the Black, White and Gold Bakers Twine and some sparkly dots from the Traditional Sparkling Sequins. The card base is Real Red.

I'm very pleased with this card, and it will be really easy to replicate.

It's now time to hop over and see what Rosa Leyden has to share with us.

Heart of Christmas week 7 - Ornamental Christmas Baubles

 

Hi Stampers, welcome to week 7 of the Heart of Christmas with the Art With Heart Team.

For tonight's cards I have used the Ornamental Christmas Dies and the Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP. Unfortunately the photos do not do this paper justice, it is BEAUTIFUL!

I have cut baubles using the Ornamental Christmas Dies from various sheets of the DSP.

For the first card I used three baubles for a Slim Line Card. The Old Olive foliage is from the Christmas Greenery Dies and the greeting is from the Traditional Labels Bundle.

This DSP is amazing, it's my favourite Christmas DSP for a long time.

For the second card I only use two baubles as it is a standard sized card. I have stamped the greeting from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set on one of the baubles in Gold Embossing Powder.

The next blog in our hop tonight belongs to Sharon Davern. Sharon is also the amazing host of our Christmas Blog Hops, so if you encounter any problems with the links head to her blog as she has a complete list of tonight's participants.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

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.

For a complete list of tonight's participants please head to Sharon's Blog, as she is the amazing host of our Heart of Christmas Blog Hops.

Be sure to visit next Monday for week 2 of our Heart of Christmas Blog Hop.

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,

Rachel
