Stampin' Up! Eden's Garden Christmas Card for Heart of Christmas Week 17

Hello stampers. Today I have a new Christmas card for you, as part of my Stampin' Up! Australia Art with Heart Team's weekly Heart of Christmas blog hop. Can you believe we are up to week 17 already? Today I am using some new products which will be released for customers on November 3rd.  These are the Eden Dies (which coordinate with the Eden's Garden stamp set, although I haven't used that today), Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper and Garden Gems. I'll have more about these products and the Eden's Garden promotion later in the week.

I love the beautiful soft pattern in this paper, and the gold foiling is perfect to add a bit of festive wow. Soft Succulent is fast becoming one of my favourite greens, My base card is Evening Evergreen, another new favourite from the 2021-2023 InColors. The little gold bits peeking out from under the labels, are the ends of a die cut in the Eden Dies. I really like how they work here. The cork and Shimmery White labels are from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and are a perfect fit for my sentiment from Merriest Moments stamp set. To embellish my card, I have used some gold metallic trim from the Simply Elegant Trim pack (you get silver and gold in one pack). You can view and purchase any of the supplies used in today's card, using the links at the end of the post.

Now it's time to see what the rest of the participating Art with Heart Team ladies have come up with for this week's Heart of Christmas. Next up we have the lovely Christine Blain. Looking forward to seeing what Christine has made (I really love following the blog hop week too to see what everyone has made).

If at any time you find a broken link please head to the blog of this week’s host of The Heart Of Christmas Blog Hop, Sharon Davern, and she will have the list of all those participating.

Thanks for checking in today. Have a fabulous week and I hope you get some creative time in.

Claire

Two Stampin' Up! Gray Granite Christmas Cards for Colour Creations.

Hello stampers! I'm playing along with my team Colour Creations blog hop today. We are using one of my very favourite neutral colours, Gray Granite. This is a beautiful 'griege' shade - a little bit grey, a little bit beige.

Since I'm right in the swing of Christmas cards right now, I have two Gray Granite Christmas cards to share with you today. The first one uses Merriest Moments bundle from the Stampin' Up! Australia July to December Mini Catalogue.

I have used the Merriest Moments embossing folder on the Gray Granite cardstock layer, and then used my sponge dauber to sponge on a little more Gray Granite ink to the embossed bit to highlight it some more. I've stamped the Poinsettia's in Blackberry Bliss, and added some gold embellishments. Both of these colours work great with Gray Granite.

The next card is a case of one of the free tutorials I sent my subscribers a few weeks ago. I love how the design of that one turned out, that I recreated it in Gray Granite too.

For this one I have used some of the new Ever Eden DSP, coming to customers along with coordinating embellishments and an early release bundle from the January to June mini catalogue. I have used the Evening Evergreen jewels from the 2021-22 InColor Jewels pack, some gold twine from the Simply Elegant Trim Combo and the sentiment, deer and coordinating punch are from the Peaceful Deer Bundle. That's the Timeworn Type embossing folder on the background Gray Granite piece. Such a GORGEOUS folder!

Before we move onto the next card, here's a fun blooper for you. Our lovely Simba likes to get in on the photo love sometimes when I am trying to take photos of my cards. He even looks like he is posing in this one.

Now it's time to move on and see what the next Art with Heart team member has made with Gray Granite. Next up we have the lovely Theresa Gerrard. I really enjoy her creations.

Stampin' Up! Love, Santa Tag Kit and 4 alternative Christmas Card Designs & Video

Hi friends, today I have a treat for you if you love to stamp with kits. The new Stampin' Up! Love, Santa Tag Kit is so amazing, I had to do a video about it!

The Love, Santa Tag Kit is $33 and is an all inclusive (yep, including the stamps, ink and acrylic block too!) and the tags are gorgeous! I was really surprised how big they are so you have plenty of room to write on the back. They are also really bright and would be perfect for kids and grandkids too. There's even some coordinating treat bags (sold separately and you get 12 bags for $12.25).

Find the Love, Santa Tag Kit HERE in my online store.

Check out my video showing what's in the kits, the tags and hear about the cards I made.

 

I'm really please how these cards and tags turned out. The kit is amazing value and I am sure you will have bits and pieces in your craft stash which you could use to make some of the tags into Christmas cards if you wanted to.

Here's a closer look at each of the cards. The video explains anything not obvious that I have done on each of these cards (and shows things like the sparkle effects I created) much better.

If you are in Australia, grab your kit from me today so you have lots of time to play with it before Christmas.

Stampin' Up! Whimsy and Wonder 2021 Christmas Cards

Today I have a Stampin' Up! Whimsy and Wonder suite Christmas card for you as part of the Stampin' Up! Australia Art with Heart Team Heart of Christmas blog hop Week 16. It was quick to whip up 3 of these cards on the weekend, using this beautiful suite of products.

I was really pleased how these turned out. I really love the Whimsy and Wonder Designer Series Paper, and the pop of Polished Pink is fresh and bright. I also like the contrast of the Shaded Spruce stamped tree with the die cut Mint Macaron trees, both in colour and form. I've used a sentiment from Peaceful Deer.

Measurements:

• Base DSP piece: 10.1cm x 14.5cm
• Pink DSP piece: 8.2cm x 5.0cm with the top left corner rounded.
• Patterned DSP piece: 12.5cm x 5cm with top left corner rounded.
• Diameter of stamped circle = 6.8cm (2 & 5/8")
• Silver metallic trim length = 35cm

Supply list at the end of the post.

Now let's see what the rest of the girls have posted for Heart of Christmas this week. Next up we have the lovely Rachel Woollard.
