Hello fellow stampers! Welcome to week 12 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.
This week I’ve been inspired to use DSP from the Winter Meadow and the specialty DSP Snowflake Magic from the September to December mini catalogue. Some of the colours in the papers include Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve, Misty Moonlight, Shaded Spruce and Smoky Slate.
The stamped images are from the So very Merry stamp set which is only available as an ‘online exclusive’. The bells, bird and Gingerbread house have been coloured using Stampin’ Blends colours Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve, Shaded Spruce, Smoky Slate and Wild Wheat. The images were then fussy cut.
The first card is 5 1/4” inch square in size to allow for a mat underneath each decorated square die cut from the Stylish Shapes die set.
The sentiments that I’ve used are from several stamp sets including So very Merry, Stars at Night, Saint Nicholas and Brightest Glow and they have been stamped with Moody Mauve and Lost Lagoon inks.
I have also added some Soft Succulent Festive Pearls (similar in colour to a pale Lost Lagoon) and Moody Mauve 2023-25 In Colour Dots.
My second card is very similar but without the coloured mat. I adhered a Basic White mat to the the card base.
The die cut squares were adhered with dimensionals to make them pop up.

Gorgeous cards Rosa! I love the patchwork look of your cards, there are soooo many cool features on each one
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so beautiful! I love the mix of papers and stamped images, and the square layout is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Rosa, these cards are works of art! What beautiful creations they are ... like mini samplers. The colours are gorgeous, and there are so many pretty details to catch the eye. Spectacular!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, Rosa. So much detail, it is hard to know where to look. Just gorgeous! It's a close race, but I think the details pop more for me on the second card without the mats.
ReplyDeleteO wow Rosa, you have created 2 amazing cards. I adore your layout with the grid of squares. All of the different details, papers, textures and stamped images etc give a very rich feel. Your colour combo is delightful. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh wow Rosa your cards are just beautiful and such works of art. A bit like a sampler quilt. Great idea to use dimensionals to make each square pop
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it - each of those squares are perfectly lined up! I love all the little details and selection of different elements. Really wonderful cards, Rosa.
