Holiday Catalogue Blog Hop

Dear Crafters,

Today some of the Art with Heart Stampin’ Up! team girls are sharing some fun and fabulous ideas to inspire you from our brand new Holiday Catalogue available now until 4th January 2016. Be sure to request your copy of the catalogue today!

You have come to my blog from the very talented, Ros Davidson.  Blogs are full circles, so you can start hopping here and then at the end of each post is a link to the next. There is also a list of participants at the end in case of any broken links.

Now let’s get started!

For my first project today I am using the Delicate Ornament Thinlits dies.

I love the simplicity of this card and how effective a little bit of glitter can add to the design!

I have used Mint Macaron cardstock and dry embossed it with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The bauble is die cut and the decorative layer is also die cut in Transfer Adhesive Sheet, then Gold Stampin’ Glitter added. It adds such a beautiful shine to the bauble.

My second card is a style I don’t usually use for Christmas, but I had this little guy in the Christmas Cuties stamp set, and hadn’t inked him up yet. He had to be in a snow scene seeing as he is all rugged up in his scarf, mittens and beanie.

First I embossed the whisper white cardstock with the Woodlands TIEF, before sponging with Crumb Cake, Tip Top Taupe, Tempting Turquoise and Marina Mist inkpads. I just kept sponging the different colours until I was happy with it.

Then I added the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper to the bottom to create the snow and added the ‘merry’ sentiment from the Christmas Greetings Thinlits dies. The white satin ribbon was tied in a knot and added to the glimmer paper before gluing to the base card. The little guy is coloured with Stampin’ Write Markers and fussy cut before adding to the card with dimensionals.

I am really happy with how this card turned out!

Thanks for visiting today.
