Stampin' Up! Heart of Christmas Week 12 - Sharing the joy of a handmade Christmas.

 

Welcome to week 12 of Heart of Christmas from the Art with Heart Stampin' Up! Team. We hope you are feeling inspired by these weekly blog hops.

This week I have showcased some more cards using the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley that I also created with last week. I'm finding it so quick and easy to create using this medley.

This one uses one of my most favourite pieces of DSP from this kit. I love the subtle colours with the hint of gold foil on the antlers.

I love the touch of festive that the white and gold trim brings to this medley. I love those berries on the stickers too. I didn't do it on this one, but it would be great to add Crystal Effects to these.

This one is a little more clean and simple. I used an oval template to create a Seaside Spray sponged oval and then stamped the trees over the top of that.

I hope this has given you some more ideas about how to use the Most Wonderful Time product medley. It's a great collection of coordinating products and super easy to create with as it has everything you need.

Now it's time to see what the other Art with Heart girls have been up to for Christmas inspiration this week.

Stampin' Up! Heart of Christmas Week 11: Spreading the joy of creativity for a handmade Christmas.

Hello ladies. Super quick Heart of Christmas post from me this week. My lovely team member Tina is hosting tonight's hop as I am out at my son's high school theatre class performance.

This week's cards by me are made from the Most Wonderful Time product medley in the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue. This product medley showcases Stampin' Up!'s fabulous colour coordination, with stamps, dies, designer series paper, embellishments, stickers and trim which all colour coordinate. Use the product link at the bottom of this post to fine it in the online store. The colours are Real Red, Old Olive, gold foil and there is some Smoky Slate in there too.

Here are the two cards I made for this week using this product medley. I love the traditional colours with a hint of gold, and those deer stickers are fabulous!

 

Now it's time to head over to Tina Gillespie, who is guest hosting Heart of Christmas for me this week.

Have a fabulous week. I would definitely recommend you getting your hands on the gorgeous Most Wonderful Time Medley, which you can find using the link below my signature.

Happy Stamping,

Claire

Stampin' Up! Heart of Christmas Week 10: Spreading the joy of creativity for a handmade Christmas.

 

Hey friends. It's tome for some more Christmas inspiration. Today I am playing with the new Stampin' Up! product suite called 'Christmastime is Here'. This has been available to demonstrators as a special preorder in October and is available to purchase by customers on November 1st. 

This suite contains Designer Series Paper with gold foiling (3 double sided designs x 4 pages each at 12x12" size), a stamp set and coordinating dies, gold glitter embellishments and a gold ribbon. 

The dies actually cut out one of the images in the Christmastime is Here Designer Series Paper, so both of these cards use that image. There is also a lined image you can colour with blends and some bits and pieces to fill in the image. Here's a look at the stamp set.

Here's a look at the whole product suite. Each of the individual items can be purchased separately, so you can just get the bits and pieces you like. Make sure you subscribe to my newsletter (click the button in the right hand column) to hear all about this new release on November 1st.

I was drawn to this suite for many reasons. I love roses, I love the traditional colours for Christmas, and I'm a sucker for gold foiling in my DSP.  I also really love the warmth in the sentiment I have used on these cards.

The die cuts are really interesting as well, and add visual interest to your cards. I love these ones that I have used around the sentiment label.

Overall, the Christmastime is Here suite is a lovely group of coordinating products, in traditional colours for Christmas and beyond.

 

Now it's time to visit all the lovely team members who are showcasing Christmas projects tonight.  We have:

Stampin' Up! Heart of Christmas Week 9: Spreading the joy of creativity for a handmade Christmas.

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?

Heart of Christmas Week 7 - Spreading the joy of being creative for a handmade Christmas.

Hello there. I'm back from a little study break to bring you Heart of Christmas from the Art with Heart team. We are now up to week 7 - wow! Lets spread some more Christmas creating fairy dust, shall we?

 

Today's cards from me (yes there are two!) are all about Pretty Peacock and Copper Foil.

First up we have this cute church snowglobe card using the Still Scenes bundle from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue. I am SO in love with this bundle and the WOW snowglobe cards you can create with it. There are so many different configurations you can use to make cards (keep your eye out for two more Snowglobe cards I will be posting on my blog this week). 

I have used the Brightly Gleaming DSP as the backing paper, and stamped in Pretty Peacock ink onto Pretty Peacock cardstock for the piece behind the globe. The cards are super easy to put together. I will show you step by step in another blog post later in the week. The greeting for this one is from The Greatest Part of Christmas host set (check it out at the end of the post). Did you know you could choose this set for FREE using Stampin' Rewards from a $250+ order? Fot the sequins in this one, I used some old metallic sequins I had. There are great snowflake sequins in the Holiday Catalogue which I have used in the other cards later in the week.

Here's a closer look at the Still Scenes Bundle and the Greatestv Part of Christmas Stamp Set (links to my online shop are at the end of the post).

My second card for you tonight is a 3D bauble card using Brightly Gleaming DSP and the Gleaming Punch Duo.

The labels under the bauble and for the greeting are from Stitched Labels. This greeting is from anothetr favourite greeting from the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue, called Itty Bitty Christmas.

Here's a closer look at Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set, and the Gleaming Punch Duo.

The Punch Duo is available alone, or in a bundle with the Christmas Gleaming stamp set for 10% discount (see the links at the end of the post).

Now it's time to check in with the other girls in the Art With Heart Team who love to share their Christmas creating.
