Welcome to the 2021 edition of Heart of Christmas brought to you by the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team. This year, we will 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.
my card:
My card features the Merriest Moments bundle. I think that this bundle might just be my favourite from the mini catalogue. The bundle features a stamp set, coordinating dies and a hybrid embossing folder. It is truly beautiful and very versatile.
The stamp is from the Feels Like Home stamp set which is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item when you spend $90 or more before the 1 October. I love the detailed images in this set but to be honest I am a little intimidated by it as I don’t watercolour and my stampin’ blends skills are still developing. 🙂
I wanted to demonstrate this lovely stamp set but was a bit stuck. Then, when I stumbled upon the fact that the rectangle die from the Merriest Moments bundle was the perfect size for the lovely door image, I was one very happy little stamper. I intend to make several more cards using different pieces of the designer series paper and this design. I am quite smitten with this card.
The lovely papers that I used for my matts are also a FREE Sale-A-Bration item when you spend $90. The Peaceful Prints DSP is another favourite of mine as Sahara Sand, Real Red and white is one of my most used Christmas colour palettes. I also love a plaid, diagonal stripes and reindeer and have stocked up on this fabulous designer series paper.
The trees are from the Whimsical Trees bundle and the sentiment from the Painted Christmas suite.

Ha snap on the idea of the angled DSP with the die cut. Love the addition of the Feels Like Home and the trees though
What a fantastic way to showcase the “Feels Like Home” stamp set Michele – I never would have thought of pairing these sets together but your card is amazing!
How cool does that Feels like home stamp look in this Christmas card I love it! All the elements that you have used to create this card are just gorgeous! Love it!
Oh Michele, this is genius! I love how you used this SAB stamp set image in the centre of the Merriest Moments die. The trees on either side and the sentiment, just stunning.
I would love to see all your cards once you’ve made them Michele – I hope you’ll share them with us. How clever to choose the lovely Feels Like Home stamp with the beautiful Merriest Moments Bundle. I truly get a lovely feeling when I look back at your card – it has loads of Christmas warmth and feeling. Beautiful.
I love how you have the red frame behind the stamped image.
Oooh this is certainly a different take on this bundle Michele and I love the door idea and the evergreens either side. A beautiful card.
Beautiful card Michele! Using the Feels Like Home stamp set for a Christmas card was an inspired move!
Oh, how pretty! I love the red and sand combo, but the pops of green in the trees are next level! So gorgeous.
I’m rather smitten with this card, too, Michele! What a find, that the Feels Like Home image fits so nicely inside that rectangle … how clever are you? I’ll be CASEing this, if you don’t mind. 🙂
Love the trees either side of the door, and your use of two of my favourite things from the Mini Catalogue (Merriest Moments, and that super-versatile sentiment).
