Heart of Christmas week 7 - Sentimental Wishes

Hello, welcome to week 7 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. After my lovely journey home from Singapore I have another Christmas card to share with you. I love colouring in any form so as soon as I saw this stamp set, Sentimental Christmas, it was on my wish list.

For something a little different I stamped the stocking image on Basic Beige card stock. I dug out my much neglected Water Color Pencils and got to work. It's a little hard to see in this photo but I love the effect of the white pencil on any colour card stock. The other colours used were Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Garden Green, Blue and Crushed Curry.

I cut out the image with the coordinating dies. The three layers behind the image were cut using Deckled Rectangle Dies. The Basic Beige Layer was embossed with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.

I embossed the greeting in White Embossing Powder on Cherry Cobbler card stock and then fussy cut it by hand. The final embellishment was a green twine bow.

All of the products used for  my card are available through my online store.

Now it's time to hop the the next stop in our blog hop and see what my super talented stamping friend Andrea Sargent has to share with us.

Decorative Trees Sneak Peek

 

I’m coming to you from Singapore while I soak up a bit of sunshine and get ready to hop on a cruise boat and head home.

I have a sneak peek of a new bundle from the Sept- Dec Mini Catalogue, Decorative Trees Bundle.

There is very little stamping on this card, only the greeting.

To make the three trees I have used different combinations of the dies, card stock and glimmer paper.

From left to right, the first trees has a base of Garden Green, with the swirls cut from the red glimmer paper from the Festive Glimmer pack, available in the up coming catalogue.

The centre tree has a base of Granny Apple Green Glimmer Paper and a die cut top of Garden Green. The third card has a base of Granny Apple Green card stock and the holly die cut layer is Garden Green.

The card front behind the trees is a piece of DSP from the Country Woods DSP pack and the card base is Pecan Pie with  Garden Green mat.

Thanks for visiting, I’m off to explore Singapore a little more, here’s a view of the Marina Bay Sands from our room at the Pan Pacific.

Heart of Christmas week 2 - Surfing Santa

 

Hello stamping friends, we’re back with week 2 of the Heart of Christmas. 

This week I am very excited to be sharing a project I made using new products from the Sept to Dec Catalogue. This catalogue is only available to demonstrators at the moment, but it is available to everyone from the 4th of Sept.

To make this card I used the cute new Surfing Santa stamp set. I love this set, I think is much more appropriate for Australian Christmases than snowflakes.

I coloured the image with Blends Markers and then cut out the image with one of the Stylish Shapes dies. The colours I used are listed bellow. To cut out the greeting I used a square from the Stylish Shapes dies and first cut two sides and then re positioned to cut the second two sides, as shown below.

I tore some strips of Coastal Cabana and Summer Splash DSP and layered them randomly on the card front.

For the stitched square that Santa is mounted on I stamped the wave a couple of times and then cut out a third one. I stamped off each wave in Coastal Cabana and then re inked the lower edge of the wave in Coastal Cabana for a two toned wave. Across the top of the stitched square piece I used a Blending Brush to add some Balmy Blue ink as the sky.

Apart from the stamp set, all of the products I used to make this card are listed below. The Surfing Santa set is available from the 4th of Sept.

Now for more Christmas inspiration it's time to see what my wonderful stamping friend Christine Blain has to share with us. Prepare to be amazed!
