Art with Heart Team Blog Hop - Christmas in July

Welcome to the Art With Heart Team Blog Hop! Who are the Art with Heart team? The team is lead by Claire Daly, the Number One Demonstrator of the Year for 2010, and there are over 90 demonstrators across Australia ... if you want to become part of this great team just email me for more details. We have a great team forum, Business Building Club and heaps of support from like minded demonstrators.

This Blog Hop is monthly event happening on the first Saturday of every month. You may have just come from Di Dunk's blog, but if you are starting here, don’t worry … you can make the complete journey just by following the links at the end of each post. There are 12 stops along the way and we hope you will visit each one to see the wonderful creations we have to show you! If you leave a comment on each and every blog and then email Nikki at nikki@inkyart.com.au, your name will be put into the hat to win some beautiful blog candy. There is a deadline of 6.00 am AEST on Tuesday, 6 July 2010 to leave your comments and only non Stampin' Up! demonstrators are eligible to win the candy - although we'd love all visitors to leave some comments.

So for this tour we decided upon the theme of Christmas in July. I decided to use the Christ is Born stamp set to make a set of accessories for my Christmas table. Here I have used just two colours, Riding Hood Red and Whisper White which match my green table cloth and napkins. I have make a napkin ring, place card and bon bon with a couple of cards to set off the design.

Stamp Set: Christ is Born
Ink: Riding Hood Red, VersaMark
Card: Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, Riding Hood Red Textured, Bella Rose Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Top Note Bigz Dies, Ovals Originals, Bravo Burgundy 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, White Stampin' Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Bon Bon Puller

At the end of each post there will be a link to take you to the next stop on the tour. So grab a cuppa, and set off on what we are hoping will be an inspirational journey!

Now you’re off to enjoy the beautiful creations of Christine Blain.
