Heart of Christmas - Week 9

Only 22 Wednesdays until Christmas, just as well the Art With Heart Team is back with more Christmas goodies.

I have returned to the Merry Mistletoe set this week, with a CASE (copy and share everything) of one of the cards in the catalogue. I love how these bright colours make a very cheery Christmas card.

The colours I've used are Lemon Lime Twist, Real Red and Tranquil Tide. These also a tiny bit of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper as one of the snow banks too.

I was so pleased with this card that I also made a set of coordinating tags, in their own little box.

All of the tags are in the same colour scheme and all use the Merry Mistletoe Stamp Set

To see what the other members of the Art With Heart team have for you, head over to Claire's blog, as she has a full list of participants.

Happy Christmas Stampin,

Rachel

Heart of Christmas - Week 8

Here is another dose of Christmas spirit from the Art with Heart Team. There is no stamping on this card. The J and the Y have been cut using the Large Letter Dies from Wood Texture DSP.

The O is a Boxwood Wreath, with little circles from the 1/8" handheld punch that have been covered in glue from the Fine Tip Glue to make them glossy.

The tiny bow is made from the Gold 1/8" ribbon and the paper strip down each side is from the Be Merry DSP. The card base is Very Vanilla Thick cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed my Christmas sample. For more inspiration head over to Claire Daly's for a full list of the team members participating.

Happy Stampin,

Rachel

It's Wednesday and I'm back with the Art with Heart Team to share more Christmas inspiration with you.

Today's cards use the brand new, only released to demonstrators and new recruits(see details below) set called Carols of Christmas.

For this card I started with Whisper White then sponged the top 2 thirds with Night of Navy. I used the star stamp in some bleach to get the sky effect. The greeting is white embossed on Vellum and the n attached with Tombo glue. The trees are die cut from Whisper White and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper using the matching dies called Card Front Builder thinlits.

On this card the border is die cut using the Card Front Builder thinlits and Very Vanilla cardstock. The greeting is stamped on Very Vanilla and cut using the Stitched Shapes thinlits. The small poinsettias are stamped and cut with the same set. The finishing touch is cutting a Boxwood Wreath in half using wire cutters and attaching the halves with glue dots to the card front. When mounted on Garden Green card base the border stands out.

Here are the details for this months special.

Contact me for more information.

Happy Stampin,
Rachel

Heart of Christmas - Week 6

It's Wednesday again and I'm back with more Christmas inspiration from the Art With Heart Team.

Did you know there are only 22 Wednesdays left until Christmas? Scary or exciting?

Anyway, back to today's card. I've used a non Christmas set this week for my card.

I cut the branch from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits. This greeting is from the Flurry of Wishes stamp set. The Whisper White background is embossed with the Softly Falling embossing folder.

For the baubles, I stamped the two snowflakes from the Colourful Seasons stamp set onto Berry Burst in Versamark, then embossed with gold embossing powder. Using three different circle punches, I punched out the baubles, the sponged around the edges in Berry Burst to give them some depth.
