Heart of Christmas week 2

Week 2 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop is here and I have a super quick and really easy Christmas Card to share with you. I'm very pleased with the final result, it looks quite stylish and elegant.

I have used the largest Stitched Triangles Dies to cut the top of the tree from one of the sheets from the Expressions in Ink Specialty DSP pack.

The trunk is a small piece of Early Espresso card stock. The star on the top of the tree is Gold Foil Sheet cut using one of the Stitched Stars Dies. I have also used the Gold Foil Sheet as a mat behind the Very Vanilla card front.

The Very Vanilla card front was embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. The final element is the greeting that is from one of my new Christmas sets called Peaceful Deer which is available in the August to Dec. Mini Catalogue. The greeting was heat embossed in Gold and then the ends of the Very Vanilla piece were trimmed with the Banners Pick A Punch.

Thanks for hopping by. The next stop in our blog hop is the very talented Di Furniss.

Christmas in July Countdown 4

Argh, only two days in and I already missed a day. This post is yesterday's post and I'll be back again later with the AWHT Colour Creation which will be today's countdown.

This card is one that I did for my Christmas in July Online class last week. It combines returning and new Christmas products.

The Dove is from the Dove of Hope bundle in the upcoming Aug-Dec Mini Catalogue.

If you don't have a copy and would like one, please contact me.

The background card base has been embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder, and the DSP used is from the Brightly Gleaming Speciality DSP pack which is a returning favourite from last Christmas.

Don't forget, only a couple of days left to earn you Bonus Days Rewards with purchases until the end of July!

Thank you for visiting, I'll be back later with today's card :)

Happy stamping,
Rachel

Art With Heart Blog Hop October - Embossing Folders

Welcome to another Art With Heart Blog Hop. This month we are featuring Stampin' Up's! versatile range of Embossing Folders. There are new Embossing Folders available in every Stampin' Up! catalogue and they are an inexpensive way of adding WOW! to your projects. Currently there are 24 different Embossing Folders in the range.
Tonight we plan on showing you ideas on how to use these folders.

The card I have for you tonight uses two Embossing Folders, Subtle 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder. I almost missed the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder as it is in the Holiday Catalogue with the Halloween stamp sets, on page 53. I'm not really into Halloween, but I intend to use this folder for many other projects.

For best results when using the Stampin' Up!'s 3D Embossing Folders; use the 3D Embossing Folder Plate; it adds a little more oomph to your die sandwich to make those 3D designs pop.

The front panel of the card was cut to fit inside one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies which I used to cut the Gold Foil shape. This panel was embossed using the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder.

Another piece of card stock, 10x 14.3cm, forms the background of the card and was embossed using the Subtle 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
The large bauble from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set was heat embossed in Gold embossing powder on Gold Foil. The small bauble and the holly sprig were heat embossed in Gold on Very Vanilla card stock. Both bauble were punched out using the coordinating punches. The holly sprig was coloured using an Aquapainter and was then hand cut.

For the base of the card I used the Very Vanilla Thick card stock as it is less flimsy than the standard Very Vanilla card stock. I cut one A4 piece in half length wise and then scored at 14.8cm and 7.4cm to form a Z fold card.

The card front was then attached to the base.
The greeting was heat embossed in Gold on Very Vanilla card stock, hand cut and attached with Dimensionals.

Thank you for visiting my blog, I hope you enjoyed my card.

Next stop on the blog hop is the very talented Rebecca Jacovou.
