Heart of Christmas week 7 Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack

 

Hello. For this week's Heart of Christmas Blog Hop I have revisited one of our discontinued punch packs because it is still available on our Clearance Rack. The Gleaming Ornaments Punch Bundle was discontinued when the new annual Catalogue was released earlier this year, but you can still purchase it on the Clearance and it's on sale!

This punch pack is now reduced to $35.40, which is 40% off.

I punched one of each of the baubles from the Be Dazzling Specialty Paper, which is available for free during the Sale-a-bration Sale, with a purchase of just $90.

The wreath was cut using the Sparkle of the Season dies from Mossy Meadow card stock. I used the gold from the Brushed Metallic card stock for the tops of the baubles and the bauble hangers. 

The card base and background are Very Vanilla, the card stock and the thick card stock.

The greeting is from the Merriest Moments stamp set and has been heat embossed in Gold Emboss Powder.

The final embellishment is a bow from the Gold Shimmer Ribbon.

 The  next stop on our blog hop is the very talented Judy May.

On the Fifth Day of Lock Down.....

 On the fifth day of lock down I found out that there is going to be another week of lock down, at least! Oh well the weather is not good for doing anything else so why not stay home and make more cards :)

Today's card uses the same bundle as yesterday's, Merriest Moments. For this card I used the outline die and the embossing folder.

The die fits exactly inside the embossing folder. 

When you insert a sheet of card stock and run it through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine you can cut and emboss at the same time.

Once this was done I coloured the foliage with a Water Painter and inks in Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce.

The poinsettia flowers are stamped in Cherry Cobbler and Crushed Curry and the leaves are in Mossy Meadow.

The center panel is Mossy Meadow card stock and the greeting is heat embossed in white emboss powder.

The back ground is Pear Pizzazz card stock that has been embossed with the Tasteful Textures Embossing Folder. The card base is Mossy Meadow.

The Merriest Moments Bundle is available after the 3rd of August in the upcoming Mini Catalogue.

Thanks for visiting, come back tomorrow for our Colour Creations Blog Hop.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Heart of Christmas week 3

 

Hi there, week three of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop, and I have had a lovely time playing with my pre order from the August to December Mini Catalogue. 

Every Monday evening we will be bringing you Christmas inspiration from the Art With Heart Team. There is a link to the next hop at the end of this post and if you get lost or find a broken link, there is a complete list of tonight's participants on Sharon's blog, also at the end of this post.

For tonight's card I have used the Merriest Moments Bundle. I loved this set as soon as I saw it. The stamp set and die also come with a coordinating embossing folder.

For this card I cut the detailed die from Basic White card stock and then put it in the embossing folder to add the texture. There is another die in this set which can be placed inside the folder so that you can cut and emboss at the same time. Very cool! I will share a card using this technique tomorrow.

Once the die has been embossed I used Sponge Daubers and Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron, Pear Pizzazz and Shaded Spruce ink to colour the foliage.

The greeting panel dies is included in the die set. It was cut from Basic White card stock and the greeting was stamped in Cherry Cobbler. I sponged around the outside of the greeting panel with Early Espresso ink on a Sponge Dauber.

The card front is a piece of wood grain DSP from the In Good Taste DSP pack. The poinsettia was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and the leaves in Mossy Meadow. The final elements are a bow in the new Cherry Cobbler Gold Ribbon and some Metallic Gold Pearls.

The next hop in our blog hop is the very talented Andrea Sargent.

In case of a broken link head to Sharon's blog for a complete list of tonight's participants.

Thanks for visiting, I'll be back later with my Forth Day of Lockdown post.
