Heart of Christmas week 17 - Last one for 2024 Santa

 

Last Heart of Christmas Blog Hop for 2024! 

I had already made a set of cards for this week before I received my pre order of new products from the Jan to April Mini Catalogue.

One of the sets I ordered was the Darling Dino Bundle. These dinosaurs are so cute. They are wonderful to colour and I have been exploring lots of different possibilities. 

This little fellow is one of those possibilities.

I coloured the party hat with a Real Red Blends Marker and added the fluffy boarder with a Black Marker.

The patterned paper used is the Take a Bow DSP. This set will be available to customers in Jan 2025.

Back to the cards I had initially prepared. I stamped the Surfing Santa in Versamark on both Real Red and Shaded Spruce card stock. These were then heat embossed in white.

The background DSP for all these cards is from the Full of Life DSP Pack.. I know they are a little non traditional for Christmas cards but I think they are really fun.

This is my favourite one, I think the background looks a bit like rays of sun light.

I'm a bit sad that this is our last Christmas blog hop for this year, but I will be back with more samples before Christmas.

Now it's time to see what my wonderful stamping friend Cathy Proctor has to delight us with.

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

Thank you for joining us.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Heart of Christmas week 11 Surfing Santa Fancy Fold

 

Hello stamping friends. Welcome to week 11 of the Heart of Christmas blog hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week until the end of November we will be here to share some Christmas inspiration with you.

For this week’s card I have returned to the Surfing Santa stamp set. This is a stamp only set from the catalogue which means there are no coordinating dies.

I stamped the main image on Basic White card stock and then coloured with Blends Markers. With a mask over the Santa image, I stamped the first wave in Coastal Cabana. I cut out the image with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. The  circle was mounted on a very simple fancy fold card. 

I cut an A4 sheet in half lengthwise for the card base. I scored down the middle on the short side and the folded it in half. I trimmed 5cm off the front edge. The square on the front is 7.4cm and has been attached on the edge of the front as a diamond. The Garden Green mat is 7cm square.

I used one sheet from the Take a Bow DSP and another from the Reindeer Days DSP as background papers. The Santa image was attached to the Garden Green mat with Dimensionals. I stamped and cut a second wave image to attach in from of Santa.

The greeting is stamped in Real Red and cut with another Stylish Shapes Die.

All of the products are available through my Online Store.

For the next stop in our blog hop please proceed to Judy May's blog to see what amazing project she has to share with us.

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!
