Heart of Christmas 3: Peaceful Garden

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2025!
I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening for the AWHT Heart of Christmas Blog Hop showcasing Stampin’ Up! seasonal products.

Week 3: Craft♦A♦Long with Peaceful Garden DSP

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THESE CARDS
I recently took part in an online Craft♦A♦Long run by Stampin’ Up!  They showed how to create 6 cards using 1 sheet of Designer Series Paper and the card templates on page 42 of the Sept-Dec Mini catalogue. Today I am showing you 3 cards and I’ll share the other 3 in a later post.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – Cloud Cover and Misty Moonlight card bases, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Stamp – the sentiments are stamped onto die cut pieces in Misty Moonlight ink. Card 2 is an extra label piece leftover from the Birthday Fancy Card Kit.

3. Layering – Card 1 has patterned paper, a Misty Moonlight circle [Stylish Shapes dies] and the Cloud Cover die [Peace on Earth dies]. Once I die cut it, I left it in the die, turned it over onto my Silicone Sheet and used the Stylus tip [Take Your Pick Tool] to trace around the inside of the die to create that extra detail. Card 2 has patterned paper with 2 Arches [Everyday Arches dies], Cloud Cover Glimmer circle [Stylish Shapes dies]. Card 3 has the patterned paper and a Cloud Cover circle [Stylish Shapes dies].

4. Finishing touches – Card 1 has some Hues of Blue Flowers, and die cut foliage. Card 2 has a white dove with some Irridescent Pearls and Card 3 has some Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon behind the sentiment, a white dove and Irridescent Pearls.

Many of us also participate in the Colour Creations Instagram hop that goes live every Wednesday night. We showcase one SU colour each week. We would love you to follow us!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Monday for more Chrismas inspiration.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Judy May.
