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.

It's time to hop to the next blog tonight which belongs to my very talented stamping friend Andrea Sargent.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 8 Balmy Blue Snowflakes

 


Hello stampers, welcome to week 8 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are featuring Balmy Blue, a lovely soft, pale blue.

When I was deciding about this week's project I thought that Balmy Blue was well suited to a frosty snowflakes card. Most of our current Christmas sets are only available in our online store. Check them out here. For this card I used the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set.

The largest snowflakes are stamped in Balmy Blue, the middle size are white embossed and the smallest are silver embossed.


I used a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to add shading to the top left corner and the bottom right corner.


To add some extra sparkle to my Christmas card I used a strip of White Glimmer Paper across the top of the greeting. I love this greeting set, I was very excited that it was staying in our online store. Christmas is stamped in Balmy Blue and the Merry is embossed in silver.

I placed a Silver Foil mat behind the card front before it was adhered to the Balmy Blue card base. The final bit of sparkle on the card was some Rhinestone Jewels added to the centre of some of the snowflakes.

All of the products used here are available in my Online Store.


Please contact me with any questions, I'm always happy to chat about stamps and Stampin' Up!

Now it's time to hop over to the next stop in our Blog Hop, which belongs to my lovely stamping friend Kathryn Ruddick. Please make sure to see what all of the participants have to share for lots of Balmy Blue inspiration.

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.
