Hello fellow stampers! Welcome to week 11 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.
Stampin’ Up! have released a few more products under the Online Exclusives section where some items coordinate nicely with those in the September - December Mini catalogue. One of these products is the Traditions of St. Nick DSP.
One of the sheets contain images of the traditional Saint Nicholas and these can be die cut with matching dies from the Saint Nicholas stamp and die bundle. Super easy! The Christmas trees are from the same sheet and have been fussy cut.
The card is normal size and opens in the middle where each flap has a Mossy Meadow card stock base and a DSP layer. The patterned paper sides contain a few sheets with the rich brocade pattern that complements the traditional images of St. Nick.
The centre panel with the Noel greeting was lying around from a previous project using the Joy of Noel stamp set. I have stamped with Real Red ink and gold-embossed the ‘Joyous’ sentiment. This panel locks behind St. Nick (raised on dimensionals) to close the card.
When you open the card the centre panel displays the same brocade panel with the Basic White panel for written messages. The panels on either side have a DSP panel mounted on Mossy Meadow card stock.
The inside sentiment is from Saint Nicholas stamp set and inked with Real Red.
Please head on to the next participant for more Christmas inspiration the lovely and very talented Judy May.
If at any time you find a broken link please head to the blog of our host, the lovely Sharon Davern and she will have the list of all those participating.
Don’t forget to check back next week for more Christmas projects. Hope you have a fabulous week ahead!

The Mossy Meadow papers, and gold elements, make for a very elegant card, Rosa. The "locking" mechanism is clever, and adds a really special touch. Lovely work.
