Heart of Christmas Week 22: Stampin' Up! One Sheet Wonder

It's our last week of Heart of Christmas for the Art with Heart Team in 2022, so I wanted to make sure I joined in. I have used a One Sheet Wonder template that our wonderful Demonstrator Development Managers shared with us when they held a Craftalongathon for Australian and New Zealand Demonstrators. There are lots of different one sheet wonder cutting templates floating around and they make it quick and easy to make a bunch of cards.

All of the DSP I have used in these four cards came from one 6x6" piece of  Painted Season Designer Series Paper.

For two of the cards I have just embossed with the Tasteful Textures embossing folder straight onto the front layer of the Pool Party card, for the other two I cut an additional layer and embossed it with the Merry Merlot embossing folder.

For the cluster of embellishments on each card, I have sponged one of the Wonderful Snowflake embellishments (part of the Whimsy and Wonder Suite in the 2021 July to December Mini) with Pool Party ink (using a sponge dauber). I also included a piece of looped silver metallic trim (from the Simply Elegant Trim combo in the Annual Catalogue) and a little die cut tree from the Christmas Tree Dies (also part of the Whimsy and Wonder Suite in the 2021 July to December Mini). I finished off with a sentiment from Peaceful Deer stamp set, which I stamped in Evening Evergreen ink.

 

Next up we have the lovely Michele Taylor.

If you get lost anywhere along the way, head over to the blog of Tina Gillespie, who has the full list of everyone participating.

Thanks for joining us on our last Heart of Christmas for 2021. We have enjoyed bringing these blog hops to you. Continue to follow along on Wednesday nights for the Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week the team are playing with Merry Merlot.

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

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Deer 2021 Christmas card for Heart of Christmas Week 14

Welcome back to another week of the Art with Heart Team Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. This week I have a card using Peaceful Reindeer bundle. I am in love with this bundle! I have used the beautiful Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper. You can view all of the products I have used today, using the links at the end of the post.

 

My colours are Soft Succulent, Crumb Cake and Evening Evergreen. I have stamped off some of the trees in the background and love how that creates the look of a forest. The Holiday Rhinestones add just the right amount of festive bling. 

 

Now it's time to check out what the rest of the Art with Heart team have made for this week's blog hop. Next up we have the very talented Rachel Woollard.

Happy Holly Days Stampin Up Christmas Card

Hello friends. Time for another Christmas blog hop with the Art with Heart team. How is your Christmas card making going? There is plenty of time to get started and I hope the ideas we present each week are inspiring you.

Today's card features the cute little bird from Happy Holly Days stamp set, which is in the Stampin Up July to December mini catalogue. This stamp set also can be purchased in a bundle with a coordinating Holly Border Punch, but I have just used the stamp set today. View the punch and the products I have used today using the links at the end of the post.

I have watercoloured the bird, holly and berries using water painters, ink from the inside of my ink pad lids, and Fluid 100 watercolour paper. This set doesn't have any dies, so I fussy cut which was pretty easy using my paper snips. I attached some of the gold fabric holly leaves to the underside of the coloured holly, and then attached that all to the bird with a Dimensional, and the bird to a die cute Ornate Layers shape (in Very Vanilla). My base card is Garden Green, followed by a Crumb Cake layer which has been embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.

My sentiment is from another set in the mini catalogue called Peaceful Deer. With all that has happened in the world this year, I really love this sentiment. Here's a closer look at the Happy Holly Days stamp set.

Now it's time to visit the rest of the Art with Heart team girls. Next up we have the lovely Christine Blain.

Thanks for checking in today. Have a great day, 

Claire

2021 Stampin Up Heart of Christmas Week 3: Whimsy and Wonder Sneak Peek

Hello stampers. Today I am bringing you some Stampin' Up! Christmas cards for Week 3 of Heart of Christmas 2021. This is also a sneak peek of a new suite in the 2021 Stampin Up July to December Mini Catalogue. My strategy for my Christmas cards is to make 4-5 cards each week, so I can keep on top of the ones I would like to send, and have them completed in time to write in by mid November. Then I can concentrate on tags, hand-made gift wrapping and ornaments. Sometimes this will mean quite simple cards and this is what I have gone with this week.

These cards use a brand new suite coming in the July to December Mini Catalogue (you can request your free catalogues HERE, as I have them to mail out now ahead of the catalogue start date on August 3rd). The suite is called Whimsy and Wonder and it's really cute - non traditional colours and a fun take on Christmas.

For this card I have used a 3cm strip of the DSP, and paired it with Blushing Bride cardstock. I have used my blending brushes to blend a little Blushing Bride ink under the whimsical tree die-cuts in Mint Macaron cardstock.

All that was needed to finish these cards was some clear Rhinestone jewels and a greeting from the stamp set in this suite. I stamped that in Smoky Slate to coordinate with the soft colour palette.

Next it's time to check out what the next Art with Heart team member has come up with. We are heading to the blog of Ros Davidson, who has been with my team for nearly 14 years! Ros always thinks outside the box, so I am looking forward to see what she comes up with.

If you get lost along the way, or find a broken link, just head over to this week's blog hop coordinator Sharon Davern who has a list of all of this week's participants on her blog.

Don't forget to request your Mini Catalogue and Saleabration catalogues either from myself of any or the girls along the way in the blog hop.

Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be back again later in the week with some more creations.

Warm regards

Claire Daly
