AWHT HEART OF CHRISTMAS - AUGUST



Tonight I am taking part, with some of my Stampin' Up! team mates, in a monthly Heart of Christmas share.  Judy May is co-ordinating our showcase, and she has a comprehensive list on her blog of all the participants.  We hope you'll visit all our blogs, and get some inspiration for using Stampin' Up! products in your Christmas crafting.

I have a couple of cards to share with you.  Even though they are fairly simple designs, I have used lots of different products!  (One of the dangers of having a craft room stocked like a scrapbooking store, LOL.)

My cards started with a decision to use the new In The Pines bundle, of Christmas tree stamps and dies.  I dug out the beautiful papers (and gold star embellishments) from the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley, which carried over from last year.  I have embossed the snow banks with one of the Wrapped in Texture embossing folders.

On my first card, I've used a sentiment from Perfectly Plaid (gold-embossed on Whisper White card).  The oval sentiment piece is popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals. The gold foil strip is embossed with stitching, using the Happy dies.  I made the white bow from Flowers For Every Season ribbon.


A closer look at some of the texture on the card:



... and the lovely gold detail on the Designer Series Paper:



My second card uses most of the same products.  The sentiment (also gold-embossed on Whisper White card) is from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set, and the ribbon is from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo.




I really love the detailed die-cut tree that overlays beautifully onto the solid tree die cut.




All of the products I've used on my cards are available to purchase from my online store.  If you live in Australia, I would love for you to shop with me for your crafting supplies.  My online store can be reached by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

Make sure you check out the links, on Judy's blog, to everyone else's Christmas creations.  You're sure to get lots of lovely ideas.

  6. Your embossed elements are gorgeous on both cards Christine - love them both and I admit I had to have a chuckle when you said your home is stocked like a scrapbook store! I'm also guilty as charged!

  9. Two beautiful cards love! My favourite is the second one. I especially love how you have used the Wrapped in Texture folder to mimic snow. I never got the medley last year but I might just have to revisit it again.
