Art With Heart ~ Heart Of Christmas Blog ~ Week 15

Hello and welcome back,


It’s time for week 15 of the Heart of Christmas blog hop with my friends from Art With Heart Team, this is the second last hop and we are almost in December. I just know you'll love all the wonderful ideas you'll see on this hop, so make sure you click on the link at the end of my blog.

Today’s card I’ll be showcasing different products from the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue and 2019 - 2020 Annual Catalogue that I just love to use when making Christmas cards. Who likes shades of blues combined with shimmer and glitter? I know I do! 

I wanted to use the So Many Stars Stamp Set and coordinating Stitched Stars Dies with the gorgeous Feels Like Frost 6” x 6” DSP. Don't you think they go so well together? I just love all the different sizes of stars and you can really layer them up when making a card.

I stamped the delicate star stamp in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock, White Stampin’ Emboss Powder covered the image and heat set with the Heat Tool. I sponged Night Of Navy Ink with a Sponged Dauber until I was happy with the shades of blue. Using a baby wipe to wipe away any ink on the White Stamped Image. The star images and the swirly star image are from the Stitched Stars Dies as pictured above.

To create a frosted look on the swirly star image using the Night Of Navy Cardstock, I used Shimmery Crystal Effects and Ice Stampin’ Glitter. The adhesive dries quickly so it's best to apply the Ice Glitter quickly. 

The Night Of Navy card base has been spritzed with Frost White Shimmer Paint and Rubbing Alcohol mixed in a Stampin’ Spritzer. Giving the card a nice shimmer.

The layers of Cardstock and DSP have been die cut out with Rectangle Stitched Dies and layered on the Night Of Navy card base. I’ve used Stampin’ Dimensionals to layer the stars this gives more depth to the card. I finished off the card with a little more sparkle with Rhinestones.

Happy Crafting,
