Hello Friends,
Welcome to Week 6 of the Heart of Christmas: Handmade Inspiration from the Art with Heart team.
My card today is 5-3/4″ square card using the Jar of Love & Christmas Pines stamp sets and the Everyday Jars Framelits.
Can you believe that I have never inked up the Jar of Love stamp set until now?! True! But… having made this card, I am bound to make many more projects with this amazing stamp set.
The photos don’t do this card justice in showing all the glitter and gold edging, but I hope you can see that I used the Versamark ink pad, and rubbed it along the edges of the cardstock, dipped them in gold embossing powder and heat set it. It’s another way of creating a layered effect without the extra thickness of cardstock!
The flowers were stamped with the Cherry Cobbler ink, however the solid background colour was stamped off first to give that toned look. The greetings are from the Christmas Pines stamp set.
and here is the inside of the card!
I hope you have enjoyed my Heart of Christmas post and I look forward to sharing more Christmas inspiration with you next Wednesday! If you would like to see what others in our team have created, you can view the participant list over on the blog of our leader, Claire Daly.
Happy Stamping,

Such a gorgeous card, Kate. I love both square cards and wreaths and you have a winner here. Great to see a another non-Christmas set put to such good use. Love your inside treatment too

A gorgeous card Kate, I only recently used the Jar of Love set as well. I would never have thought to use it as a Christmas stamp. It’s perfect here on your card. Again, just gorgeous!
