Heart of Christmas 2022 - Week 3

 

Hello to everyone joining tonight for the Heart of Christmas blog hop. I’m hopping along with fellow stampers on the Art With Heart team to showcase some wonderful Christmas projects every week until end of November.

In the Stampin’ Up! July to December 2022 mini catalogue you can find some gorgeous, shiny and glittery papers which I love to use whenever I can in my cards. 

For tonight I have made a triple panel card with a belly band to show off some of those pretty papers as well as going with a non-traditional Christmas colour in Tahitian Tide. This is one of the new 2022-24 In Colours.


The card measurements are:

  • Card stock base Tahitian Tide - 9 1/2” x  6”. Scored at: 4 1/4”, 7” and 9 3/4”
  • 1x Gorgeous Gnomes DSP (largest panel) - 4” x 5 1/4”
  • 1x DSP Snowflakes Specialty Vellum - 2 1/2” x 5 1/4”
  • 1x Basic White card stock - 2 1/2” x 5 1/4”
  • 2x DSP In Colours DSP Assortments  andTahitian Tide Glimmer paper - 1” x 5 1/4”
  • Belly band - 9 1/2” x 1 1/2” card stock 
  • DSP (for belly band) - 4 1/4” x 1” DSP



Next step is to assemble all the panels by adhering with glue adhesive or tear tape onto the base card stock. I have stamped the sentiment from the Brightest Glow in Tahitian Tide ink. The stamped stars are from the Trees for Sale stamp set.


The finished card when folded flat will measure 4 1/4” x 6”, ever so slightly bigger than the Australian standard card size.


Lastly I made the belly band, scoring at 2 1/2” one side, flipped it around and scored at 2 1/2” the other side. I adhered the small DSP panel to the centre with the Wonderful Snowflakes iridescent foil embellishment. To finish I added some of the gorgeous Adhesive backed Sequins & Gems with a Fine Sparkle Adhesive backed gem in the centre.


Please head on to the next participant who is also our lovely hostess for more Christmas inspiration, the very talented Sharon Davern.

Have a great week ahead and keep safe xx
