Heart of Christmas – Week 2 Twinkling Tidings

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.

Crushed Curry: Mosaic Garden Thank You Card

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 19 – Crushed Curry

My card this week features the Mosaic Garden DSP with the Hot Foiling System and Gold Foil with the Classic Greetings Hot Foil dies and the Flourish and Frames Hot Foil dies. The All Aflutter Bundle (stamps and coordinating Punch) also feature and go perfectly with these gorgeous, patterned papers.

A Crushed Curry card base with a layer of the DSP in the Hydrangea Hue pattern (looks like cardstock really), then the DSP. But before I adhered the DSP, I placed it onto my Cut and
Emboss Machine
with the larger frame die and smaller die in the centre of it, and ran it through. This created the cut out section and the smaller frame piece to be added later.

On some Hydrangea Hue Two-Tone cardstock, I foiled the gold frame in my Hot Foiling System, then die cut it out and adhered in to the centre, so it fit snuggly into the hollow space. Now I could adhere the smaller DSP Frame. The sentiment was foiled the same way and die cut using the coordinating die. I also die cut it again in Crushed Curry card and layered it below for the extra shadow.

The butterflies are stamped in Crushed Curry ink onto Basic White card, punched out and glued to the card. The one on the front, I added a Mini Dimensional behind each wing, so it sits up. Some Wink of Stella to colour it and add some glimmer at the same time!

On the inside I added the extra frame leftover from the front and adhered it onto a white die cut the same size so I can write my message. Plus, some extra butterflies, seeing as you get three in the one Punch.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join us next week for Daffodil Delight.
