HEART OF CHRISTMAS WEEK 14: STAMPIN' UP! LIGHTS AGLOW WREATH CARD IN CHERRY COBBLER

 

Tonight a group of us, all Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around Australia, is sharing projects to inspire you to use Stampin' Up! products in your Christmas crafting.  We're taking part in Heart of Christmas blog hops every Monday night, until the end of November.

I've been favouring greens on my Christmas cards so far, so decided to focus on Cherry Cobbler, Gold and Very Vanilla this week.  I'm a huge fan of the Distressed Gold paper, and Lights Aglow Designer Series Paper.  I have teamed both of these with Festive Foils Designer Series Paper, to go all out with elegant shimmer and shine!

I cut the "holey" circle from Festive Foils DSP, using a Labels Aglow Die.  I adhered this piece to some Distressed Gold paper, before layering it on Lights Aglow DSP and a mat of Distressed Gold paper.  I cut a wreath from Distressed Gold paper, and added some rhinestones coloured with my Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends marker.

The sentiment, from Ringed With Nature, was gold heat-embossed on a scrap of Very Vanilla card, and cut out using a Stylish Shapes Die.  I tucked it behind a couple of the leaves on the wreath, before adhering it to the card front.

This close-up photo shows the gorgeous patina on the Distressed Gold card, as well as the foiled details on the Festive Foils DSP:

I added a scalloped die-cut border, created with a Penned Flowers Die, to show off some more of the gorgeous Lights Aglow DSP:

STAMPIN' UP! FLORAL THANK YOU CARD IN FRESH FREESIA & GARDEN GREEN

I had fun making a card with some "bits" left over on my craft desk, from the last few blog hops I've participated in ... Fresh Freesia and Garden Green Colour Creations blog hops, and a Heart of Christmas blog hop.

I had some leftover die-cut flowers and leaves, from Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper, and a Basic White wreath cut using a Country Wreath Die.  After adhering a couple of different designs of Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper to a Fresh Freesia card mat, here's how I added all the other "bits":

In this photo, you can better see the die-cut flowers and leaves in the background:

I stamped the sentiment, from Flowering Tulips, in Fresh Freesia ink on Basic White card.  After cutting this out with a Stylish Shapes Die, I matted it on a Fresh Freesia decorative circe, die-cut using an All That Die.  These two circles were then layered onto the wreath die-cut.  

I added Pastel Pearls to some of the flower centres, and Garden Green ribbon across the join of the two Designer Series Papers.
