Heart of Christmas - Week 21 Evergreen Elegance Bundle

It's less than 5 weeks to Christmas and the cards are definitely in full swing. I do start in July but I seem to always need to make a dash at the end of November.

Thanks for stopping by tonight as I am sharing a card on the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop 2021 and wow I love all the inspiration again this week.

I am using the Evergreen Elegance Bunch which includes the Evergreen Elegance stamp set and matching Evergreen Border Punch.  I have chosen lots of shades of green - Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow for the difference size trees, which I have stamped in the background then others I have stamped of Basic White and fussy cut out.  I added a row of the punched out trees in Soft Sea Foam and then over stamped in the varying greens.  I have then added some sparkle to the trees with the Clear Wink of Stella.  Finally I added the Merry Christmas sentiment again from the same stamp set.

I am enjoying being on holidays as this morning I was able to finish off a card that I started with my card class.  

Welcome to Art with Heart Stampin' Up! Team "Heart of Christmas Blog Hop", tonight is my first this year, I know I should create more but life and work do get in the way.  You maybe starting here, or you may have come from the Sharon Davern, who at late notice added me this week.

I attended an online facebook group of South Pacific Stampin' Up! Demonstrators a few weekends ago and the talented Donna from the Sydney office showed various textured techniques.

This one features a mask where we have layered colours of Coastal Cabana, Misty Moonlight, Granny Apple Green and then again Coastal Cabana with the blending brushes.

I have added the 2 beautiful angels from the Angels of Peace stamp set, stamped in Black Memento and then coloured with the Stampin' Up! Blends in Granny Apple Green and then fussy cut out and layered onto a circle of Basic White.  Finally I added the sentiment and a few sequins.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC341 Glittery/Sparkly Heartfelt Wishes

I am on holidays this week, it's a holiday at home due to COVID restrictions as I really can not risk going interstate and then having to quarantine for an additional 14 days especially working within the medical profession.  I am hopeful to get lots of crafting done as well as preparing for my fundraising event for Compassion Australia this upcoming weekend.

Welcome to this week at CASEing the Catty and we are featuring Glittery and Sparkly from the Holiday Catalogue.  

You may be starting the hop here so welcome, or you may have come from Rebecca Scurr.

I only just received the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set to for the Merry Christmas stamp and so I could not go passed casing the card on page 57.

The card featured below uses the traditional Christmas colours of red and green but I wanted to use the non traditional colours in the Whimsy & Wonder Speciality Designer Series Paper - Polished Pink, Blushing Bride, Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron, Misty Moonlight and Iridescent.

My first card uses the theme of stars at the top with glitter and pearls and then stripes at the bottom as a direct CASE from the example.  I then made an additional 5 cards using all the 12 designs with silver glimmer paper, pearls and rhinestones.

Stamp Set:  Heartfelt Wishes

Ink:  Polished Pink, Soft Succulent

Cardstock:  Polished Pink, Blushing Bride, Mossy Meadow, Soft Succulent, Basic White, Whimsy & Wonder Speciality Designer Series Paper, Silver Glimmer Paper (retired)

Accessories:  Cut and Emboss Machine, So Many Snowflakes, Pearls, Rhinestones

CASEing the Catty - #CTC336 Sale-A-Bration Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper

 

This week at CASEing the Catty we are featuring Sale-A-Bration brochure, remember you only have until the end of September to take advantage of the FREE stamp sets, dies and designer series papers and the great Joining Stampin' Up! bonus' - Starter kit $169 (and receive $235 of product plus a FREE bundle).

Welcome to the blog hop, or you may have come from Peta Stephen. 

I have chosen to CASE the card on page 2 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure on the left, as it a very small image it probably has been looked over, but I just had to use the Paper Lattice that I have had in my collection for sometime without opening the packet.

I have decided to use the Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper for my card this week.   Firstly I used the checkered Pool Party DSP sheet as my background and then mounted the Kraft Paper Lattice sheet on top with dimensionals.  I layered a small rectangle piece Basic White which I stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler and put a strip of matching Cherry Cobbler and Gold Ribbon down the right hand side.

Do you love the dogs and cats in the DSP?  I fussy cut a couple out and layered them on top and finally added a couple of Gold Brushed Metallic Dots.

After finishing the card utilising the Sweet Stockings DSP, I decided to make an additional card using the FREE Sale-A-Bration Penguin Playmates DSP and flipped the orientation of the card around to a landscape card.  

Which one is your favourite?

Stamp Set:  Great Tidings, Penguin Place

Cardstock:  Thick Basic White, Basic White, Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper, Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Just Jade

Accessories:  Kraft Paper Lattice, Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots, Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/2" Ribbon, Just Jade 3/8" Gingham Ribbon

CASEing the CAtty - #CTC335 3D Annual Catalogue Merriest Moments

 

I have spent 5 beautiful relaxing days in Middleton, overlooking the beach from the kitchen table where I was able to create this week's card.

You may have started here, or you could have come from Peta Stephen.

The Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper makes the background and a banner of Real Red cardstock makes the centrepiece with a square of Basic White stamped with the sentiment and a few Old Olive branches with a Wonderful Snowflake mounted on the left side with a fussy cut snowflake again from the Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper and is finished off with a Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon bow.

Stamp Set:  Merriest Moments
