Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue Art With Heart Team Blog Hop Week 12

Hello and welcome,


It’s week 12 with the Heart of Christmas blog hop and today I’ll be sharing my card using the Christmastime Is Here Suite. This suite is here for a limited time for the month of November and you can order this product today! The suite is available to purchase from my online store link at the end of this blog.

This suite is exclusive to Stampin’ Up! It’s just so stunning with the gorgeous festive floral Christmas Rose Stamp Set and coordinating Roses Dies which the die cuts out the Rose stamped image.

For the card I’ve stamped the large floral image onto Whisper White Cardstock. I wanted to use some different colours for the Rose and I’ve used my Stampin’ Blends. I just love to colour with the Blends they are just so magical to create with! 

I started off with colouring in the rose using both light & dark Mint Macaron and blending in with the Color Lifter. The bigger leaves I have used light & dark Soft Sea Foam. The spikey thin looking leaves, I started off using the light Mossy Meadow, but then I decided I wanted to use the dark Smoky Slate. The grey always goes so nicely together with these colours. The pinecones are in light & dark Crumb Cake and the berries I have used light & dark Flirty Flamingo.

For the card base I’ve used Thick Whisper White Cardstock, stamped the greeting off in Mint Macaron and then stamping randomly on the Cardstock.


The card front has been lightly sponged in Mint Macaron with the Sponge Dauber to give the die cut some lift as well as colour to the card. Before adding the Rose die cut image to the card I’ve placed Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon under the Rose. 

The Merry Christmas greeting is from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set, stamped in Memento Black and die cut with the smaller label from the Beautiful Boughs Dies. I just love it when Stampin’ Up! products can be used so well together and then you have a completely different card. 


To finish off the card I’ve layered the die pieces with Stampin’ Dimensionals and I’ve placed three Frosted Epoxy Droplets which balances nicely with the soft colours.
