Heart of Christmas - Week 12

Hi and welcome! We are in Week 12 for the Heart of Christmas blog hop where Art with Heart team members will showcase their creations every week until the big day!

This week I have used Designer Speciality Papers from Painted Christmas set in the July-December 2021 mini catalogue. The designs include fir cones and branches, Holly berries with leafy branches as well as single patterns of either leaves or berries only. 

For the first card I have used Cherry Cobbler base layered with the gorgeous berry print. I used the large die from Encircled in Beauty to cut a Red Foil layer and adhered the sentiment using dimensionals.

A while ago I had made a whole lot of the sentiment in different ink and card stock colours and so just reached into my stash and add to the card.

My second card has an Evening Evergreen base and rectangle layer alternating with the DSP print. 

The layered rectangles were die cut with the Stitched Rectangles set. I have wrapped the Real Red Sheer ribbon around this panel. 

The letters have been cut using Playful Alphabet die set and Brushed Metallic card stock that was adhered to an adhesive sheet. This makes it so much easier to adhere or you could also use foam sheets if you want the raised look. The letters were then adhered to a Basic White label cut from the In Bloom die set and embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

In my third card the base is Early Espresso layered with DSP and an Encircled in Beauty die cut. Across the front I have adhered the same label cut from Beauty of the Earth DSP. 

The letters have been cut using the same Playful Alphabet die set. The Garden Green Holly leaves have been die cut from the Poinsettia die set and the berries are the inner circle from the letter ‘O’. I have finished off with a double bow using Linen Thread.

My last card features the same die cuts but have used the gorgeous Be Dazzled card stock for the label.

The Be Dazzling DSP is yours free with a qualifying purchase of any product to the value of $A90 or more.

The Christmas tree has been cut using the Cloche die set in Just Jade card stock. To finish off I have added some Gilded Gems and sequins from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera pack.
