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.

Heart of Christmas - Week 17 Angels of Peace

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.

Stamp Set:  Angels of Peace, Merriest Moments

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
