Dear Crafters,
Welcome to Week 5 of the Heart of Christmas: Handmade Inspiration from the Art with Heart team!
My card today uses the Star of Light stamp set and the Starlight Thinlits with the Shaving Cream Technique!
This is a super messy technique, but I love how different every card is when you wipe off the shaving cream! Here I have used Sweet Sugarplum reinker in the cream, with the Shimmery White cardstock for a little extra sparkle! 🙂
When it was dry, I then stamped the star background and the sentiment in the Sweet Sugarplum ink.
The gold glimmer paper was die cut and added with our new mini dimensionals, and boy are they mini, not so good for these numb hands to handle!!!! I also added some of the Gold Metallic thread behind.
I hope you have enjoyed my Heart of Christmas post and I look forward to sharing more Christmas inspiration with you next Wednesday! If you would like to see what others in our team have created, you can view the participant list over on the blog of our leader, Claire Daly.
Happy Stamping,

Oh it’s so pretty Kate! And you got messy again! 😉
Thanks Mindi, it sure is fun to get messy every now and then!
Love the background effect Kate. Beautiful card! 🙂
Thanks Mon! You’ll have to give this technique a go, but be warned, it’s very messy, but so much fun!!!!
What a beautiful card Kate, the colours are just so pretty, I have never tried the shaving cream technique before might have to give it a go.
Oooh, this is soooo pretty! The pink and the gold work so beautifully together. I’m loving the mini dimensionals too, but I can see how they’d be tricky with numb hands.
So gorgeous Kate, such an effective background for this star! Love it! Love this messy technique too!
Love this technique Kate, great effect for the background.
Oh so pretty Kate, I just love it. I haven’t tried this technique, perhaps I will now after seeing how soft and pretty your card is, It’s such a lovely effect.
Such a pretty and soft card Kate…love your use of the shaving cream technique!
Thanks Jan!
Thank you!
Thanks Christine!
Thanks Judy. Yes love Sweet Sugarplum!
this is so pretty Kate and I love the swirly effect
Thanks Claire!
This is just so nice with the shaving cream example.
Sweet Sugarplum is a gorgeous colour to use for that technique, Kate – beautiful!
Wow, that is fabulous, Kate! Love the colour (of course!), but such a great background for the Star of Light products.
Super pretty card Kate! That technique looks fabulous as a background with the star. Thanks for playing Heart of Christmas this week.
