Week 5 Heart of Christmas Blog Hop

 

Hello and welcome

Tomorrow is the day! The brand new Stampin' Up! Mini August - December 2021 Catalogue and Saleabration Catalogue goes live. I always love to create cards and paper craft for Christmas and I'm so in love with the new mini catalogue. Stampin' Up! sure know how to give us a variety of products to suit everyone.

Tonight's Art With Heart blog hop is hosted by Rachel Woollard with a selection of members from the Art With Heart Team who will be joining in. I'm looking forward to seeing their beautiful projects using Stampin' Up! products.

I've created a lovely bundle which all goes nicely together using the Peaceful Place 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper which comes in Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Black and Silver. There are 12 sheets, 2 each of 6 double-sided designs. This paper is stunning! I just love the designs and there's a touch of silver throughout the DSP.

The Designer Series Paper comes in the Peaceful Place Suite which I'm yet to purchase all of the products in this suite. There's the Peaceful Cabin Stamp Set & Cabin Dies, I do have the Snowy White Velvet Sheets and that's beautiful. The Timber 3D Embossing Folder, Subtle Shimmer Sequins and the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon which I also do have. The items I don't have are sure on my wish list!

Mini Paper Pumpkin 3D Box

The white Paper Pumpkin Box can be put together quickly, needs no adhesive and is food safe. I've created a belly band using the Peaceful Place DSP. 

Using the Stitched Rectangles Dies I've die-cut out using the Silver Foil Specialty Paper and a smaller die for the Peaceful Place DSP. Then layering them on top of one another.

I finally purchased the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon and I wish I had purchased it a long time ago. It's stunning to work with and I've created a bow for on top of the box using lots of Glue Dots.

The greeting is from Holly Jolly Wishes Stamp Set which has lots of different sentiments for Christmas. I've heat embossed the greeting using Versamark Ink onto Basic Black Cardstock, White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Then I've die-cut using the stitched die from Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I also added a few silver foil snowflakes from the So Many Snowflakes Dies.

Card 

One of  the sheets from Peaceful Place DSP comes in a 6 x 6 quadrant to be cut into 4 and used as a background for your paper crafting. 

I've layered one of the backgrounds to Basic Black card base and added the sentiment using Black Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. A very simple but elegant card created in no time.

Gift Tags

I've created two gift tags using the Peaceful Place DSP in shades of Smoky Slate and Basic Gray. Using the Tailor Made Tags Dies and die-cut the DSP out. I've layered the DSP onto either Basic White or Basic Black Cardstock which has also been die-cut out with the Tag Dies. 

Using White Glittered Ribbon and White Baker's Twine for one of the tags and the other is White Faux Linen Ribbon with White Baker's Twine. The white heat embossed Sentiment is from Holly Jolly Wishes Stamp Set.

I hope I've inspired you to start creating your own Christmas projects using paper craft. Stampin' Up! have so many beautiful products and I just love how it all coordinates.
