Each Monday, some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our September-December Mini catalogue and Annual catalogue Christmas products.
Heart of Christmas Week 17
Today is our final Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2023, but don’t worry, we will be back again next year!
My card today features the Christmas Pinecones dies from the Annual catalogue. I cut it twice in Thick Basic White card. I used Sponge Daubers to dab colour for a mottled look, to one of them; Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Pecan Pie & Pebbled Path. Some Tombo Multipurpose Glue was applied to stick them together, but slightly off set, so the white layer is slightly visible.

My Thick Basic White card base has some Lost Lagoon ink applied in the centre with a Blending Brush, then some splatter using the Dark Lost Lagoon Blends Marker. The pinecone die cuts can now be applied.

The sentiment is a mix of Joy to You stamp set & the Wanted to Say dies. I cut a piece of Silver Trim down the centre to have some finer threads, then lay them on my card with some Stampin’ Seal. The sentiments are added to the card on dimensionals. Some Lost Lagoon Tinsel Gems were added for a little sparkle.
On the inside I added a little splatter and another leftover piece of the diecuts.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you can join me next year for more festive inspiration!
