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.
Craft♦A♦Long with Peaceful Garden DSP extra 3 cards
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 cards 4-6! You can see cards 1-3 in a previous post here.
How you can re-create this card
1. Create the base – Crumb Cake card bases, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.
2. Stamp and colour – The sentiments on cards 1 & 2 are stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. Inking tone on tone with Sponge Daubers on the DSP pieces and the card base of card 3.
3. Layering & Texture – Card 1 has the patterned paper and two strips of the reverse pattern. The circle and banner are added on Dimensionals.
Card 2 has two pieces of patterned paper and two strips of Secret Sea Glimmer and a circle of Two-Tone cardstock dry embossed with the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder. I then used a sanding block to reveal the white inner core for texture.
Card 3 I cut the front so that only a 1″ panel is left. After embossing it with the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder, I adhered the patterned paper to the panl. A layer of Misty Moonlight is adhered behind the patterned paper and to the back if the panel. When you open the card a piece of Basic White the same size as the patterned paper, is adhered to the centre of the card.
4. Finishing touches – some doves on the first 2 cards are added and card 3 has the Metallic Rub-Ons and the sentiment from the Greetings For You Ephemera Pack. All three cards have some Hues of Blue Flowers.
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.
