Heart of Christmas – Home Sweet Home

craftwithkate

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening to share Christmas inspiration using @stampinupofficial seasonal products.

Home Sweet Home for Christmas

My card this week is a fun fold in the shape of a ‘home’. As per Darryl Kerrigan famously states in the 1997 Australian comedy film The Castle, “It’s not a house, it’s a home. A man’s home is his castle”, and ever since I’ve always preferred to call it a HOME.

A German Demonstrator (Stamp your card) shared her “House” card in a Reel on Facebook and she has a Tutorial that you can purchase and download for a couple of dollars.

I’ve used the Peaceful Pine Two-tone cardstock as my card base and the All Wrapped Up Specialty Designer Series Paper.A simple belly band holds it closed with a fussy cut bouquet from one of the sheets of SDSP on the front. But open the card for a real wow fun fold design. In fact, it is very similiar to my Tucked Corner card I shared back in July, but the fold is on both sides of the card.

I used the Christmas Mice stamp set for insnide the card and coloured the wreath with Blends Combo Markers.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Claire Daly.

Heart of Christmas – Floating X Card

craftwithkate

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening to share Christmas inspiration using @stampinupofficial seasonal products.

Floating X Card

My fun fold card this week is a Floating X card. The card base is a fun fold with the extra ‘X’ pieces attached at the front and back appearing to be floating. I’ve used the All Wrapped Up Specialty DSP in the background and the Timeless Christmas DSP on the ‘X’. The feature in the centre is a diecut label using the Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies with a stamped Peaceful Pine tree [Twinkling Tidings Bundle] and the deer are created using the Hot Foiling System with the Graceful Evergreen Deer Hot Foil Dies and Silver Foil. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink onto Basic White card, Gold WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. This sentiment is from the Soiree Salutations stamp set.

here’s a closer look at the centre feature elements with those Silver Foil deer and the inside of the card to write your message.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Helen Reeve.

Fresh Freesia: Graceful Evergreen Deer HFS

craftwithkate

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instagram Hop. You can follow us on Instagram starting @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 24 – Fresh Freesia

My card this week is a Christmas card to start building up my stash, and how good does Fresh Freesia, Silver and White look as a combination?!!

The Graceful Evergreen Deer Bundle has the stamp set and the Hof Foil Dies. On the Fresh Fressia card base, I stamped the little stars/snowflakes in Fresh Freesia ink around the edges of the top two thirds of the card. The front panel I ink blended the edges before stamping the trees in Versmark ink, add White WOW Emboss Powder and melted it with my Heat Tool.

I stamped the gound below the trees in Fresh Freesia ink. On an Acrylic Block, I added some Fresh Freesia ink, a drop of water and splattered it across the card. I repeated this process with some White Craft Ink and set it aside to dry before layering it onto Basic White card.

Using the Hot Foiling System (HFS), I silver foiled the deer onto Fresh Freesia card and die cut them to add on Dimensionals to my card. The sentiment from the Christmas Mice stamp set is Silver Heat Embossed and fussy cut.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join us next week for Garden Green.

Heart of Christmas – Week 4

craftwithkate

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening to share Christmas inspiration using @stampinupofficial seasonal products.

Neutral Christmas cards

My cards this week have a very neutral colour palette with the Country Woods DSP and the Yuletide Carols DSP. The Detailed Wreaths Accents are also used on both cards.

Card 1 – is a 15cm x 15cm card front with a layer of Early Espresso card, then some Country Woods DSP. The wreath is glued to the centre and the JOY die cut [Party Alphabet dies] and added on Dimensionals. A Linen Thread bow and some gold jewels are dappled around.

Card 2 – uses the negative of when I die cut the JOY for the first card. I didn’t want to just thow it away when I can create another card!

This time I turned it into a shaker card. I added some Window Sheet to the back of the DSP. Some Foam Adhesive Strips were added around the edges and around the ‘joy’.

On a Very Vanilla card base, I placed some gold glitter jewels (from last year’s Advent Calendar) in the centre and placed the DSP on top!

A Linen Thread bow is added with the holly [Detailed Wreaths Accents]. Below you can see through the window sheet to the gold jewels.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Andrea Sargent.

Heart of Christmas – Week 2 Twinkling Tidings

craftwithkate

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Monday evening to share Christmas inspiration using @stampinupofficial seasonal products.

Twinkling Tidings Card

My card this week features the new Hot Foiling System (HFS) with the Gold Foil and the Twinkling Tidings Bundle (Stamp Set and Hot Foil Dies).

On a Thick Basic White card base, I’ve covered it with a piece of the Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP).

The Hot Foil Dies are placed onto the HFS with some Gold Foil and Peaceful Pine Two-Tone card stock. I stamped the basket in Pecan Pie ink. Then I used the arch die in the set to cut it out. I placed Dimensionals on the back and adhered it to the card base.

The sentiment [Christmas Mice] was stamped in Versamark ink, Gold WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. This was also added on Mini Dimensionals. Some Festive Pearls finish the card front.

On the inside and on the envelope, I stamped the tree and Gold heat embossed the star and the string of lights.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Claire Daly.

Peaceful Garden Accordian Fold card

craftwithkate

This handmade card features the Peace on Earth bundle and Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper. 

Start with a Cloud Cover card base, 29.7cm x 10.5cm, scored @ 14.8cm. Dry emboss the card front with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder. Die cut a Basic White label, stamp the sentiment [Traditional Labels stamp set] in Misty Moonlight ink and again in Cloud Cover ink but slighty offset to create a shadow effect. Adhere it to the card. Die cut the doves and envelopes in Basic White and the branch is cut from some Peaceful Garden Glimmer.

As you open the card you see this amazing accordian patterned paper unfold.

To create this, start with a piece of DSP 25.5cm x 10cm and score at 8cm, 10.5cm, 13cm, 15.5cm, 18cm, 20.5cm & 23cm.

Glue the left panel in place, fold up the accordian section, holding it tight, add glue to the final panel, and fold the back of the card closed onto the front. Hold it for a few seconds to dry then you can add the Basic White panel [10cm x 5.7cm] to the inside.

Add a sentiment to one of the folds; I’ve added one from the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.

I was inspired by Laura of Southridge Studios and I wanted to create my own with metric measurements.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Bubble Bath card base, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Layer – a piece of DSP [12.3cm x 8cm] is glued to a matt layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock [12.8cm x 8.5cm]. Place in your trimmer and line up the left corners at 2.5cm and 5cm as shown below and cut. You place the smaller side to the right side of your card base and the larger panel to the left side of the card base.

3. Add the sentiment – Stamp the sentiment [Traditional Labels stamp set] in Cherry Cobbler ink onto a Basic White Stylish Shapes die cut circle. Die cut another circle one size bigger in Gold Foil to place behind the sentiment one. These are added to the card on Dimensionals.

Lemon Lolly: Christmas Greenery in a fresh colour palette

craftwithkate

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 29

This handmade card features the Christmas Greenery stamp set, however it is not necessarily a Christmas card, although it could be sent to someone who may not celebrate Christmas to let them know you are thinking of them at this time of year.  This fresh colour palette is perfect for sending love & joy to someone you care about. My colours this week are Lemon Lolly, Fresh Freesia, Lost Lagoon and Misty Moonlight.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Thick Basic White card base, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Stamp and colour – the images are stamped randomly in a cluster. I find holding the label over the space where you will eventually add it helps in the placement of the stamping.

3. Add the sentiment – one of the Traditional Labels dies in Lemon Lolly cardstock is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink and added on Dimensionals.

5. Finishing touches – some Traditional Sparkling Sequins are dotted around, along with some gold dragonflies and birds. Wink of Stella is splattered for extra sparkle!

Many of us also participate in the Heart of Christmas blog hop that goes live every Monday night, where we showcase Christmas inspiration in the lead up to Christmas. We would love you to join us for our final one this Monday!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Lost Lagoon inspiration.
