Hello and welcome to our very last 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.
Tonight I have made three cards to showcase the Traditions of Saint Nick DSP. This set of papers contain traditional images and colours as well as brocade patterns which could be used for non-Christmas cards too.
The first card has a red brocade pattern layer adhered to Basic White card stock. I have die cut St. Nick from the DSP with the matching die from the Saint Nicholas die set.
The arched frame is from a new bundle that is available now as an “online exclusive”. This stamp and die bundle is Garden Meadow and I have die cut from Basic White card stock and then dry embossed using the 3D Timeworn Type embossing folder to provide some texture. Although the embossing is a bit difficult to see in the photos. Behind the frame is another DSP layer showing home interiors at Christmas time.
The greeting is from Wishes All Around and stamped with Real Red ink and then fussy cut and adhered with dimensionals.
The second card has the DSP layer adhered to Real Red card stock. The borders are die cut using the Basic Borders die set.
The stamped image using the Gift of Giving has been coloured with Stampin’ Blends in Poppy Parade, Old Olive, Pecan Pie and Smoky Slate (shadows on the marshmallow).

My final card has a patterned layer in Pebbled Path that was adhered to the Pebbled Path card stock and then Real Red card stock. The sentiment from More Wishes is stamped using Pebbled Path ink and die cut with a die from the Nested Essentials die set.
The Christmas images can be found on one side of the Traditions of St. Nick and have been fussy cut and adhered.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection of Christmas cards Rosa, I love the arch on the first card and all the tiny fussy cut pieces on the third card
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely array of cards, showing the versatility of these lovely papers, Rosa. The first card is my favourite ... the brocade paper is stunning, and I love your use of the arched die. I also love the fussy-cut elements on your third card - so fun and playful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vintage vibes on all three cards, Rosa!
ReplyDeleteFantastic vintage style cards, Rosa. I adore the one with St Nick, in front of that arched window, and the selected paper choices are perfect. You've showcased these papers so well, great work!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful cards Rosa. I adore your card with St Nick and the archway looking into a room - great use of the DSP. The DSP is wonderful as the background of the other 2 cards. Ass so gorgeous. xxx
ReplyDeleteThree really lovely cards showcasing the Traditions of St Nick DSP, Rosa. The patterns have such a traditional vintage look to them, and this is reflected in your set of cards.
