Hello fellow stampers! Welcome to week 4 of the Heart of Christmas Stampin’ Up! blog hop for 2023! Each week until 27 November the Art With Heart team will showcase Christmas cards and projects to inspire you to create your own.
Following last week’s card I have continued to use the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes available from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! Mini catalogue from 6 September. You get a pack of 20 card bases and matching envelopes which means I’ll be able to make a few more.
This time I have dry embossed the front of the card base using the Stars at Night hybrid embossing folder. The embossed stars are just beautiful and you get both gold and white stars on the embossed card. For this reason I’ve kept the card simple.
Both sentiments are from the Night Divine stamp set and have been stamped in VersaMark onto the O Holy Night DSP. I then heat embossed with Gold embossing powder and die cut each sentiment with a Deckled Rectangle die.
After adhering the sentiment I added some due cut embellishments such as the shepherd and his sheep to match the sentiment. The dies include a nativity scene and each die adds these beautiful fine details when die cut. To finish off this card I adhered some gold Adhesive-backed Star Trinkets.
For the other card I also added a die cut wreath in Basic White and Holly leaves in Gold Distressed Specialty paper with tiny gold berries. The Holly wreath die can be found in the Saint Nicholas set which I used last week.

I love how creatively you've used these lovely card bases, Rosa. They look fantastic, embossed with the stars. I love the teensy wreath and glittery bow on the second card, and the sentiment embossed on DSP (and the perfect die-cut additions) on your first card. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteAren't these card bases amazing? So versatile, and I really love how you have used them. Such a great colour combination, but they look so fabulous embossed. Gorgeous cards.
ReplyDeleteThe embossed stars look fabulous on the gold foil cards, Rosa with your delightful embellishments.
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards Rosa. I love the star embossing on the Gold & vanilla notecards. The addition of the die cuts is beautiful, together with the touches of ribbon and sequins. xxx
ReplyDeleteThe way you have used those card bases is really lovely Rosa and I do love gold and navy together. It is so elegant. Great idea to emboss the sentiment directly onto the gorgeous paper.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Rosa, you sure are making the most of these notecards. The embossed stars look great and with the addition of the diecuts, these cards are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe brushed gold card bases are the perfect backdrop for your elegant cards Rosa. The restrained use of the diecuts and the glorious little wreath are all that is needed. Stunning.
