Heart of Christmas | More Wreaths

Welcome to the 2022 edition of Heart of Christmas brought to you by the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team. This year, we will again be showcasing all the fabulous seasonal supplies that Stampin’ Up! have on offer, on a weekly basis and in the form of a Blog Hop.

How is it November already? 2022 is almost over and so unfortunately is our Heart of Christmas Blog Hop……just four more weeks. Eeek!!!

my cards:

My cards tonight both feature the Trimming the Tree stamp set and Celebrate Everything (Host) DSP. Trimming the Tree can be found in the annual catalogue and this very merry and bright DSP is available to purchase when you place an order of $250 or more. It can be found in the Host section of the mini catalogue.

Card no.1:

Two things that I love to do when creating a card are 1) mimic the DSP in my card design and colour palette and 2) stamp a wreath design.

The small ornament stamps found in the stamp set were perfect for this. I used Granny Apple Green for my wreath and the ornaments were stamped using Crushed Curry, Pacific Point, Polished Pink and Real Red. The greeting and bows were stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I was so pleased with the result that I thought I might try another……

card no.2:

These tiny ornaments are just so cute. I always like to look at the smaller elements in a stamp set in terms of how I might use them for Stamping in the Round, wreath building and these are just perfect.

Tiny as they are, they stamp up beautifully……very crisp and clean.

The addition of the three groups of ‘berries’ may or may not have been required because of a small finger smudge. Shh!!! Don’t tell anyone. 🙂

    Oh my, Michele, both of these cards are a real wow! I love the happy bright colours that mimic the designer papers and you certainly create the best SITR cards. I think I love the second one more; with all those tiny bauble stamps and the placement, it’s outstanding!

  2. Caroline Manwaring

    Oh My Goodness Michele, your cards are stunning! I love everything about them! Beautiful SITR design. I absolutely love how you have showcased those tiny ornaments in your stamping. Both cards are utterly gorgeous.

  3. Catherine Proctor

    Michele, you have matched your stamping to the DSP perfectly! I love both of these wreath cards. Just stunning!!

  4. Tina Gillespie

    Oh, my! Your wreath cards are delightful! They match the background DSP so perfectly. I especially love the second card – the interplay of the sparkle stamps and baubles is perfection.

  5. CHRISTINE BLAIN

    These are just beautiful, Michele. I especially love the first card … I’m rather taken with the black bows that “hold” all the gorgeous bright baubles on the wreath. I, too, love that you used the colours in the DSP in your stamped designs, and created wreaths – your specialty. Berries, butterflies, flowers – all useful for covering up smudges! LOL
