Welcome to week twenty of the Heart Of Christmas Blog Hop!
My project this week brings together the Warmest Wishes bundle with the Peace to You stamp set and the Framed and Festive stamp set.
I’ve made a simple side step card using all of the colours found in the Celebrate Everything DSP: Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, Polished Pink, Pool Party, Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce.
Here’s the template I created for my side step card. It gives you two cards per sheet of A4 cardstock.
And here is my card. I was inspired by the cute “stack of presents” stamp from the Warm Welcome stamp set and recreated these presents on the side step part of my card.
I coloured the “stack of presents” stamp in the open doorway using Marvelous Markers and Stampin! Blends to match the colours in the Celebrate Everything DSP.
The presents on the side step part of the card were made with the Celebrate Everything DSP, die cut with:
a Stitched Rectangle die – front spotted present
the rectangle die that comes in the Warm Welcome dies – middle striped present
a square Stylish Shapes die – top pink present
The card folds flat to fit into a standard C6 envelope.
I’ve decorated the flap to match the card with some more of the striped Celebrate Everything DSP.
The sentiment on the front of the card and on the inside is from the “Framed & Festive” stamp set, with some images stamped from the “Warm Welcome” stamp set.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Christine Blain. I can’t wait to see what Christine has made this week.

Welcome to week eighteen of the Heart Of Christmas Blog Hop!
From tomorrow, November 1, the Fitting Florets Collection from the upcoming January – June Mini Catalogue will be available to order and it includes two products only available for limited time: the Framed & Festive Stamp Set and the Fitting Florets DSP.
The Framed & Festive stamp set is a really versatile Christmas sentiment stamp set that works with any Christmas products. I’ve paired it with the Christmas Season stamp set and the coordinating Seasonal Labels dies for this week’s Heart of Christmas card.
The Basic White layer has been die cut an angle using the largest of the stitched rectangle dies. This adds visual interest and draws your attention to the bunch of holly berries and leaves.
My traditional red and green colour combination uses Real Red, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake and Basic White. Fine tipped glue has been added to the holly berries to make them shine.
The sentiment has been die cut and framed using the middle two square Stylish Shapes dies. I really like the mix of fonts in the Christmas sentiments in the Framed & Festive stamp set.
Another sentiment from the Framed & Festive stamp set has been used for the inside of the card – I think I will be using this sentiment a lot for my Christmas cards this year.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Rachel Woollard – I can’t wait to see what Rachel has created today!

New product alert! Checkout the gorgeous Fitting Florets Collection!
It includes products that will be in the upcoming January-June Mini Catalogue, as well as three products of which will only be available from November 1 for a limited period of time.
The limited time products from this collection include:
The Framed & Festive Stamp Set – a Christmas sentiment set
The Fitting Florets DSP – both floral and patterned designs in Balmy Blue, Blushing Bride, Crushed Curry, Evening Evergreen, Night of Navy, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent.
For all my cards I’ve used the Evening Evergreen/Soft Succulent/Basic White leaves and berries patterned paper from the Fitting Florets DSP to make three Christmas Cards, changing the colours slightly for each card.
All three cards also use sentiments that are stamped and framed using the Framed Florets Bundle, available from November 1 until the end of June 2023.
Card one is a monochrome card that uses just the colours in this DSP pattern, along with die cut embellishments in Evening Evergreen Glimmer Specialty Paper, die cut using the Framed Florets dies.
White Classic Matte Dots coordinate with the white berries on the DSP.
Card two adds a touch of Petal Pink, with a layer of Petal Pink card stock and berries on the DSP coloured in with Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends!
Three Petal Pink Elegant Faceted Gems are the perfect embellishment to match the Petal Pink berries.
Card three adds Crumb Cake to the colour mix.
The stems of the Textural Elements are coloured with the Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends and the Natural Finish Ribbon has been stamped in Evening Evergreen using the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Framed & Festive Stamp Set.
Strips of leftover DSP and additional sentiments decorate the inside of all three cards.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Kathryn Ruddick – I can’t wait to see what Kathryn has created today!
