Welcome to week fourteen of the Heart Of Christmas Blog Hop!
Do you ever love the “B side” patterns more than the “A side” patterns in a Designer Series Paper pack? I especially love the “B side” patterns of the Storybook Gnomes DSP – it is full of beautiful snowflake and tree patterns in soft blues, aquas and greens.
My card tonight was inspired by the Pool Party snowflake pattern in the Storybook Gnomes DSP so I decided to pair it with the Evening Evergreen Glimmer Specialty Paper to create a Christmas wreath card.
Pool Party and Evening Evergreen work so well together I decided not to add any more colours to this colour combination.
My favourite die in the Country Wreaths die is this elegant double bow die. I’ve layered it on top of a Pool Party Sheer ribbon bow for extra dimension and impact.
The Evening Evergreen “berries” on the wreath are created using the Dots & Spots Die to die cut out the Evening Evergreen Glimmer Specialty Paper. This die is great for creating your own embellishments using specialty papers.
I also added a strip of this gorgeous Evening Evergreen Glimmer Specialty Paper underneath the sentiment which is stamped in Versamark ink, white heat embossed and die cut out with the Stylish Shapes dies.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Tina Gillespie – I can’t wait to see what Tina has created today!

Welcome to week four of our Art With Heart 2022-23 Colour Creations blog hop! We are showcasing each of the 5 new In Colours for the first 5 weeks before we then feature our core colours in alphabetical order for the rest of the year.
Our fourth new In Colour is Sweet Sorbet, a vibrant red that sits neatly between Real Red and Poppy Parade. Here’s what Sweet Sorbet looks like in comparison to the other current Stampin’ Up! reds and pinks.
I decided to use the Eclectic Garden stamp set for my card because the flower stamp reminds me of a Waratah, the native flower of my home state of New South Wales, Australia.
Waratahs are a vibrant red, the ideal flower to be coloured in with Sweet Sorbet.
In the end I decided to create a slimline card also using two of the other images from Eclectic Garden because they are all so cute. After all, radishes can be red and the berries could be lingonberries!
The splatters are stamped with another stamp included in the Eclectic Garden stamp set, as is the cute “Thanks So Much” curved sentiment. The embossing folder is the the 3D Hive Embossing folder.
I used my light and dark Mossy Meadow and Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends to colour the images in and the 2 largest circles from the new Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the images out.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Rachel Woollard – I can’t wait to see what has made this week!
