Heart of Christmas - Week 15

Week 15 already! Only a few weeks left to go, I can't believe it's December next week!

The card I have to share with you this week uses the Itty Bitty Christmas Bundle and the Shine Bright stamp set.

I have stamped the Christmas tree in Versamark on Very Vanilla card stock and heat embossed with Gold embossing powder. This panel was the cut out using the Stitched Nested Label dies.

The gold background shapes are Gold Foil cut with one of the Layered Christmas dies. These were adhered with the Tombo glue.

The greeting is from the Itty Bitty Christmas set and was heat embossed in gold on Mint Macron card stock.

On the Cherry Cobbler background I used a combination of Golden Glitz Delicata ink refill and rubbing alcohol in a Stampin' Spritzer to produce the sparkly golden sheen.
The rhinestone on top of the tree was coloured with a Soft Suede Blends Marker.
The Cherry Cobbler background was mounted on Mint Macron card stock and then on to a Thick Very Vanilla card base. I love this card stock for a more sturdy Vanilla base.

Don't forget to check back tomorrow night for our monthly Art With Heart blog Hop. This month we are featuring gift bags and boxes, just in time for Christmas.

Thanks for hopping by,
Happy stamping,
Rachel.

Heart of Christmas - Week 14

After a couple of weeks absent, I'm back.
This week I have some wonderful but super quick Christmas cards to show you. These two cards feature the Night Before Christmas 6"x 6" designer series paper.

The DSP panels have been layered on Cherry Cobbler card stock.

This card uses a greeting from the Holly Jolly stamp set and a small strip of Cherry Cobbler striped ribbon. The greeting was cut out using the Everyday Label Punch.

The second card uses a greeting from the lovely Greatest Part of Christmas Hostess set. It also has a strip of Real Red ribbon and a piece of the Real Red Curly Ribbon. This greeting was cut out using the Starburst Punch.

For more Christmas inspiration head to Sharon Davern's blog for a full list of tonight's participants.

Thank you for visiting, please contact me with any questions about my projects or the Stampin' Up! products used.

Happy stamping,
Rachel

Heart of Christmas - Week 11

Welcome the the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop, week 11.

Today's card features one of the die sets from last Christmas, Detailed Deer. I was very happy to see this set back for another year. I have paired the deer with my favourite DSP from this Christmas, Brightly Gleaming Speciality DSP.

I embossed the deer with the 3D Subtle embossing folder and the oval in the background is embossed with the Stylish Scrolls embossing folder.

The greeting is from Itty Bitty Christmas and is heat embossed in Copper to match the paper and the Copper Foil deer.

The ribbon across the middle of the card is Pretty Peacock and Old Olive Reversible Ribbon.

For more Christmas inspiration head to Tina's blog for a full list of tonight's participants.

Enjoy the remainder of the blog hop and check back regularly for new inspiration.

Happy stamping,
Rachel

So Many Stars and Pigment Sprinkles!

I'm back to share with you more of the cards I made with the So Many Stars Bundle. I had a selection of Pigment Sprinkle Backgrounds I did when I was first playing with the Sprinkles and thought they would be perfect with the So Many Stars Dies.

This card uses the Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape and a tiny bit of Bermuda Bay Sprinkles.

I used the same coloured card stock for the stars, also adding Shaded Spruce and Silver Glimmer Paper.

The second card is much darker but also uses Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape Sprinkles. The card stock is also Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape, with a bit a Shaded Spruce as it just seemed to suit the colour scheme.

Now for a couple of lighter coloured cards.

This card uses Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Mango Melody Sprinkles and card stock, with a garland of Sparkle Glimmer Paper stars. These cards were so quick and easy to make with the Sprinkles and Star bundle, I'm sure I'll be making many more.
