Stampin' Up! Heart of Christmas Week 9: Spreading the joy of creativity for a handmade Christmas.
October 16, 2019
Hello friends. It's time for our weekly dose of Christmas inspiration. It's week 9. I hope you are enjoying our weekly posts. Have you started making your Christmas cards yet?
Today's card features a stamp set that has been very popular in the 2019 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue. It's called Beauty and Joy. I was drawn to it because it reminded me of the beautiful stone pots and planters I admired in Europe. Isn't it lovely?
Here's the card I made with it.
I've used Mossy Meadow as the base card and stamped the tree in Mossy Meadow with Early Espresso for the trunk. The urn is stamped in the Celestial Copper Delicata metallic ink pad. I LOVE these ink pads. Have you seen my latest You Tube video showing 4 techniques to use with them? My You Tube channel link is in top right corner.
The Designer Series Paper is from the Night Before Christmas 6x6" DSP pack. The greeting is from the Night before Christmas Memories and More Card Pack and the embellishments are the Star Designer Elements (all product links below the post).
Now it's time to see what the other lovely Art with Heart team members are making this week for Heart of Christmas. Before we do that, have you thought about joining our fabulous crafty community?
