Heart of Christmas 2022 - Week 2


Welcome to Heart of Christmas Week 2 and a blog hop to showcase Christmas projects of members of the Art With Heart team. I wanted to show this week three very similar designs but using different Designer Series Papers (DSP) you can get different looks.

The Silver & Gold 6”x6” DSP is a FREE item with a qualifying purchase from the SALE-A-BRATION catalogue available from 1July to 31 August 2022. The patterns on these are dots and stripes so perfect for Christmas card designs or other celebrations.

The other DSP I have used is Boughs of Holly and Distressed Gold Specialty DSP. Card stock bases are Evening Evergreen and Basic White. The stamp set is a returning set in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue - Peaceful Deer along with the coordinating Deer punch.


Firstly I stamped the deer with VersaMark onto Basic White and heat embossed with gold embossing powder and then used the Deer punch. The Stitched Circles die set also got a good workout for the cards and I’ve used both different sizes and papers of circles and scalloped circles. 



The Basic White circles were stamped with evergreen trees in this stamp set in Evening Evergreen and Mossy Meadow inks and I took some inspiration from the annual catalogue on page 42 and stamped off to create depth in the background. I also stamped some trees separately, fussy cut them and then adhered with dimensionals next to the deer.



To finish off two of the cards I tied some bows using Gold Shimmer ribbon because Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without some gold and shimmer! I’ve also added some Brushed metallic adhesive dots. Hope these cards inspire you in your own projects.



Please head on to the next participant for more Christmas inspiration if you haven’t already done so, the very talented Tina Gillespie.

If at any time you find a broken link please head to the blog of our host, Sharon Davern and she will have the list of all those participating.

Hope you have a marvellous week ahead. Take care xx

  1. You've done "mass production" beautifully, Rosa. Such a lovely way to show how the same layout can look distinctly different, with a couple of switch-ups. The gold touches are beautifully festive!
