Heart of Christmas week 12

Hello stampers. Here is week 12 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. I hope you have been enjoying our Christmas projects and that it has inspired you to make a start on your own Christmas projects. Time is ticking away, Christmas is only nine and a bit weeks away!

To night's card was a quick but I think effective Christmas card.

I used the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock.

To highlight the trees I used a Sponge Dauber and Old Olive ink. I gently sponged the ink over the raised trees. As the embossing folder is one of our especially deep 3D folders it was easy to get lighter and darker tones as the trees have multiple levels.

The greeting is from the Greetings of the Season stamp set and was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink. It was cut out using a die from the Unbounded Love die set.

I tied a piece of Cherry Cobbler and Gold Satin Ribbon around the bottom of the card and finished it with a bow.

The card mat is Cherry Cobbler and the card base is Old Olive. The final embellishments were some Basic Jewels that were coloured with a Pecan Pie Blends Marker.

The next stop on our Blog Hop is my lovely stamping friend Judy May. Please head to her blog and then follow the links around to see all of the amazing Christmas projects that we have to share with you.

Heart of Christmas 2024 week 1 - Sparkly Snowflake Bauble

Oh my, I'm definitely not ready to think about Christmas, but it's a great way to motivate myself to get a start on my Christmas cards.

As this year's new Christmas products are not available until the 4th of Sept (although as a demonstrator we are able to order from the 6th of August :) I have used existing products. For this card I used the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set and a Blending Brush.

The first step I used to make this card is to make a mask with a circle punch and Masking Paper.

With a Blending Brush I gradually added Cherry Cobbler ink to the circle to create the bauble.

It's a bit hard to see in the photos but I coloured the small snowflake from the Sparkling Snowflakes set with my Wink of Stella Pen. I stamped three of the snowflakes on to the bauble.

The greeting is from the Greetings of the Season stamp set, one of the current Online Exclusives.

The cute little bow on the top of the ribbon is the Silver and White Sheer Ribbon and the hanger on the bauble is the silver from the Gold and Silver Trim Combo Pack.

All of these products are available through my online store.
