AWH Heart of Christmas Week 13
Welcome to week 13 of the Art with Heart Team Stampin’ Up! Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2024. I hope you we are continuing to inspiring you each week with our Christmas card ideas.
The Snowy Scenes Suite collection has so many different elements to play with I ended up creating two cards instead of one for tonight’s blog hop. Although they use the same layout, the colours are very different, drawn from the different DSP designs.
Card one features the soft Petal Pink paper from the Snowy Scenes DSP and the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder.
The Merry Christmas sentiment is created in Petal Pink, white and black, using stamps and dies from the Peaceful Season Bundle.
The snowman has been shaded using the light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend with a tiny touch of Poppy Parade for the nose.
The colour scheme for card two is Pool Party and Garden Green, this time drawing inspiration from a different design in the Snowy Scenes DSP. The embossing folder is the crosshatch design from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.
The large square label die from the Peaceful Season dies has slots that are designed for ribbon to be threaded through. I’ve cut a length of the Pool Party Pompom Ribbon to thread though the label. How cute is this ribbon!
Instead of a snowman as the focal image, for this card I’ve stamped and die cut an assortment of trees in Pool Party and Garden Green, arranging them onto the Peaceful Season’s label. I’ve also stamped a few snowflakes and added Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
The “Joy & Love to You” sentiment and label are stamped and die cut using the Peaceful Season Bundle bundle.
So, which design do you prefer? Although I’m more of a blue and a green girl, I actually think the lighter and less dominant Petal Pink DSP works better to make the focal image and sentiment really pop.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Judy May. I can’t wait to see the project Judy has created this week!
