STAMPIN' UP! HEART OF CHRISTMAS - WEEK 19

 

Every Monday night, until the end of November, a group of us shares Christmas projects made with Stampin' Up! products.  It seems most of my Christmas cards lately have been green (I can't get enough of the two new In Color greens), so I made a conscious effort to focus on red for tonight's card.

The gingham background paper, and the DSP strip behind the die-cut "cheer" are from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper pack.  The colours in this pack are Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow and Real Red, so I've co-ordinated the elements of my card design with the paper.

The sentiment (both stamped and die-cut parts) is from the Words of Cheer bundle.  Onto the gingham background, I adhered a vertical strip of Basic White card that I had embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  A narrower strip of Heartwarming Hugs DSP then provides a mat for the die cut word.  I die-cut "CHEER" from Real Red card (making sure to use Adhesive Sheet on the back of the card, to create letter stickers - no mess!).  These letters are stuck to a base layer of Cork Specialty Paper, that I thought went nicely with the Crumb Cake card base.  Before sticking down the double-layered word, I added a wreath (see below).

Here's a close up of the lovely textures and patterns:

  

I die cut, from Mossy Meadow card, a wreath using the Seasonal Swirls Dies.  Holly leaf sprigs (from Christmas Cheer Dies) were cut from Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow card, and added to the wreath.

A Real Red satin bow, and Wonderful Gems, finish off the card.

STAMPIN' UP! HENNA HEARTS CARD IN JUST JADE

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop is all about Just Jade, one of Stampin' Up!'s In Colors, in our range until next year.

A recent addition to my craft stash is the gorgeous Henna Hearts stamp set, which features on tonight's card.

I stamped the heart in Just Jade ink on a piece of Basic White card, and cut it out using a Layering Circles Die.  I used Light and Dark Just Jade Stampin' Blends to colour the inside of the heart image.  In my photo, the coloured heart looks a lot more yellowy-green than the bluish-green of Just Jade, but in real life I think it's less stark of a difference!

I matted the die-cut circle on a scalloped circle of Just Jade card, and attached that to a Basic White die-cut made with new Eden Dies.  A few Matte Black Dots were added to the stamped piece.

After layering some Just Jade Designer Series Paper (sponged around the edges with Just Jade ink) on a panel of Just Jade card, I added a Basic White Stitched So Sweetly scalloped rectangle, embossed with a Dotty Hearts embossing folder.  Over the top of this, I wrapped two lengths of narrow Black Gingham Ribbon from top to bottom.  The focal stamped piece was then stuck down, and a Just Jade gingham bow added.

The sentiment was created with two stamp sets.  I stamped "I love you" from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set, in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and "FRIEND" from the Biggest Wish stamp set, in Just Jade ink, before trimming the rectangle.  It is raised up on Stampin' Dimensionals.

A couple of Just Jade Square Gems, either side of the sentiment, finish off  my card.
