Heart of Christmas week 16 - Sentiment Christmas Circles

 

I am a hoarder of Designer Series Paper! I have mountains of it. Because of this I am making a concerted effort to use more DSP and hoard less ;).

I have used Sentimental Christmas DSP for tonight's cards. I started by using the Sentimental Christmas Dies to cut out the stockings from a sheet of the DSP.

After all of the stockings were cut out I used various Circle Punches to cut out different images from the remaining paper. A couple of them were discontinued sizes. They are listed below. Once I finished with the circle punch there was nothing left of that sheet of DSP. YAY me!

I embossed a piece of Garden Green card stock with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders from the 3 pack that is an Online Exclusive. I arranged the circles and adhered them with Stampin' Seal and Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Sentimental Christmas stamp set and was stamped in Poppy Parade ink and cut out with one of the dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I am determined to start making a dent in my DSP stocks, no more hoarding(less anyway).

Heart of Christmas week 16 - Peacock Snowflake Magic

 

It's time for week 16 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. This is the second last week before we finish for this year.

The cards for this week use the Snowflake Magic Specialty DSP. I made three cards the same and just varied the greetings. 

I used the Joy of Christmas stamp set for the greetings. I heat embossed the greetings in Silver Embossing and cut them out with the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The snowflakes were cut out using the Chic Dies from More Dazzle Specialty DSP and Pool Party card stock. The stamped snowflakes are from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set.

Now it's time to hop over to see what my lovely friend Christine Blain has to share with us.

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.
