Heart of Christmas week 3 - Pretty Peacock Merriest Trees

It's time for week 3 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Are you warming up to the fact that it's time to think about Christmas? I hope that this week we can inspire you further.

For tonight's card I have used the Merriest Tree stamp set and dies. I actually had this card ready for last week in case my new goodies didn't arrive in time, but they did I saved this card for tonight.

I started with one of the sheets from the Nature's Sweetness DSP pack. The newsprint sheet I chose has splats of gold on it that I thought looked a bit Christmassy.

I cut the 5 pieces of the Christmas tree from the DSP and then shaded the top of each piece with Pretty Peacock ink and a Blending Brush. I adhered each piece of the tree with Dimensionals to give the tree some depth. I embossed the white background and then heat embossed sporadically with gold embossing powder.

I stamped the Pretty Peacock background with the tiny stars in Pretty Peacock ink. This piece and the white embossed background was cut with the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Now it's time to see what Christmas beauty my stamping buddy Theresa Gerrard has to share with us.

If you have any issues with the links in our blog hop please head to Sharon Davern's blog as she is the wonderful host of our Christmas Blog Hops and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

Unfortunately, or maybe luckily I will not be participating in the blog hops for the next few weeks as I will be cruising home from Singapore. I will return in mid September. I'm hoping to be able to show you some more sneak peaks of the new catalogue, it will depend on my internet connectivity.

Thanks for visiting,

Rachel

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 43 Pumpkin Pie Stippled Roses

Hello stamping friends, it’s time for week 43 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the wonderful Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order and this week we are up to Pumpkin Pie, a lovely orange colour in our Regals colour family.

For tonight’s card I used the Stippled Roses stamp set from the Jan to April Mini Catalogue.

I stamped the main rose image in Basic Grey and coloured it with my Blends Markers. The colours I used were Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow.

The gorgeous DSP I used for the background is from the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP, from the Jan to April mini catalogue. Along the right side of the card I put a strip of one of the other DSP from the same pack.

I added some leaf sprigs in Old Olive and Mossy Meadow card stock.

The greeting is from the Throughout The Year stamp set. I love this greeting and many of the others from this set, it’s a very versatile set.

All of the products used to make this card are from Stampin' Up! and are available from my online Stampin' Up! store.

Now it's time see what amazing project my stamping friend Kate Morgan has to share with us.

Rachel
