Hi fellow crafters! Welcome to the Heart of Christmas blog hop this week. I’m hopping along with fellow demonstrators on the Art With Heart team to showcase some wonderful Christmas projects every week until end of November. We’re into Week 10!
This week I have used the Snowman Magic stamp and die bundle together with the Christmas Lights bundle. My card is a lantern card using Pool Party card base measuring 28cm x 14cm and cut twice. I then scored at 5cm, 14cm and 23cm on the long side for each piece.
For one of the centre panels I have used a rectangle die from the Stitched Rectangles die set to cut out the centres. The die size used is nearly the same as that of the snowflake frame die from the Snowman Dies.
Next I also die cut two pieces of the snowflake frame from Basic White card stock. These were adhered to the front of the card base. Then two pieces of the Snowflake Specialty Vellum were die cut with a rectangle die slightly larger than the rectangle cut-out. This was adhered on the inside and behind the snowflake frame.
The side DSP panels are 4.5cm x 13.5cm and adhered to both sides. This DSP is from the Storybook Gnomes collection. I have decorated the panels with the cute Snowman and a Snow lady! The body is die cut from the White Glimmer paper and the other parts from Basic Black card stock and Tahitian Tide glimmer paper.
The snow people were adhered to an oval off cut from the Fabulous Frames oval frame.
The sentiment from the Snowman Magic stamp set has been stamped with VersaMark, embossed with Silver Embossing powder and die cut using a Stitched Rectangle die.
The finished front panel was adhered to the second card base at each side panel so that the opened card creates a central square.
I had die cut two panels using a Deckled Rectangle die and adhered these to the back of the card. The sentiments are stamped with Pool Party and Tahitian Tide inks.
It’s now just waiting for a battery-operated tea light or candle to put inside!
Please head on to the next participant for more Christmas inspiration our very lovely host for tonight the very talented Sharon Davern. If at any time you find a broken link she will have the list of all those participating.
Thanks for joining the blog hop and wishing you a marvellous week ahead xx
Rosa, your Snowman Magic and Christmas Lights lantern card looks wonderful in those soft colours. It will look even more fantastic when it is lit up by a tea light! A great use for that vellum paper.
