Hello fellow stampers! Welcome back to this week’s Heart of Christmas Stampin’ Up! blog hop. Each week until 25 November 2024 the Art With Heart team will showcase Christmas cards and projects to inspire you to create your own.
For this week’s card I have again used several new products from the upcoming Stampin’ Up! September - December Mini catalogue. You will be able to order from this catalogue on Wednesday 4 September!
There are many favourites in this new mini catalogue one of them being the Decorative Trees die set. It has some beautiful die cut tree patterns and of course a matching stamp set that I did not use this time.
First, I die cut the Lost Lagoon mat with the ‘snowflake’ tree die. Before die cutting I did adhere a layer of adhesive sheet to the back. This is so that the finely die cut snowflakes can be adhered to the next layer. You end up with the tree shape on your mat layer and the ‘snowflake’ tree die cut.
Next, I inked up the Falling Snow background stamp with VersaMark, stamped the mat layer and then heat embossed with silver Embossing powder. It really looks pretty with the shiny stars.
A layer of White Glimmer specialty paper was adhered behind the embossed panel to add more sparkle! Once in place I finally adhered the ‘snowflake’ tree die cut.
All that’s left is to stamp the Christmas and New Years greeting using Pretty Peacock ink. The stamp set used is Greetings of the Season. The ends were cut on an angle with paper snips and then adhered with dimensionals. I also adhered some silver Adhesive backed Sparkle gems.
Please head on to the next participant for more Christmas inspiration the lovely and very talented Sharon Davern. Sharon is also the host of this blog hop and if you find a broken link please head to Sharons blog 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!
Oh, how lovely! The silver-embossed stars in the background, and the silver sparkle gems, are beautifully elegant details, Rosa. The star of the show, though, is that gorgeous glimmery tree. I love how you've created it.
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty Rosa, with those beautiful silver embossed stars, and the tree is gorgeous, too. Wonderful card.

So sparkly and pretty, Rosa. The silver heat embossing is lovely in the background and the glimmer of the tree, wow. A wonderful card!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous Christmas Tree card Rosa. I love your silver heat embossed background. I must check out that background stamp. A gorgeous tree too. xxx
ReplyDeleteWow, totally love this. At first I loved the elegant simplicity, but then I also saw all the details you had created with the glimmer paper and embossed background. It's a really clever and gorgeous card!
