Welcome to week 28 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop!
Our colour this week is a beautiful new neutral: Merry Merlot.
Because we’re now 1 week until Christmas day I just couldn’t resist making another Christmas Card, one that features Merry Merlot and Tranquil Tide glimmer paper and the Joyous Noel DSP.
Isn’t this glimmer paper stunning!
The stamp set I’ve used for my card is called Peaceful Noel and all these products are part of the Joyous Noel Suite.
I love the font of the sentiments in this stamp set and I’ve stamped both the outside and the inside of my card.
Here’s the inside.
My glittery baubles were a cinch to cut out from the glimmer paper using the detailed baubles thinlits and can you guess what I used to make the holly that sits at the top of each bauble?
The little leaves are from the boxwood wreaths with berries made from red rhinestone jewels.

We will be back again next year on the 8th of January 2019 and we’ll be showcasing an old in-colour that has returned as a subtle colour: Mint Macaron. We hope you can hop along with us then.
Welcome to week 7 of our Art With Heart, Heart of Christmas blog hop.
The stamp set I’ve used for this week’s Heart of Christmas project, Peaceful Noel, is such a beautiful stamp set and it comes with a matching punch called the sprig punch, that actually looks a lot like antlers!
I was going to use both the sprig punch and the Peaceful Noel stamp set for my card today but there was so much lovely detail in just the stamping on its own I decided to save the punch for another project.
The ink colours I used for this card were the same stunning colours used in the Joyous Noel Suite: Gray Granite, Merry Merlot, Sahara Sand, Soft Suede, Tranquil Tide and Whisper White.
I used the outline of a small oval as my stamping guideline to stamp around and I just randomly started stamping, adding different colours and patterns as I went along. I then decided to add some more dimension to the Merry Merlot berries by covering them with a layer of fine-tipped glue. I love how this makes them shine!
Speaking of shine…how beautiful is this Merry Merlot glimmer paper! I die cut it out on the Big Shot with a layering oval die, then layered the Noel sentiment on top, after cutting it out with a Stitched Shapes oval die.
The base of the card is simply a piece of Gray Granite cardstock. Despite my love of Crumb Cake I must admit this colour comes a pretty close second as a neutral that works with so many different colours.
