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.
my card:
I love easy to produce Christmas cards. It makes preparing for the very busy Christmas season much more manageable and enjoyable. My card features a large piece of the Boughs of Christmas designer series paper and several stamped and diecut trees, that mirror the trees and colours found in the DSP.
So that the trees stood out from the background I used a circle of vellum behind them to create a bit of ‘separation’. The trees are from the Trees For Sale stamp set and were diecut using the Tree Lot dies, which are available during Sale-a-Bration ONLY!
The simple greeting can also be found in the Trees For Sale stamp set. I stamped it using Old Olive ink, added a linen bow and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. Red rhinestones add a pop of colour.
I added a stamped tree to the inside of the card and the envelope as a finishing touch.

A beautiful card Michele. I love the coordination of tree colours with the DSP. The Vellum circle is perfect as is the addition of the little red rhinestones. Gorgeous.
I love the coordination with the patterned paper that you have managed to achieve! Love the idea for a simple card that could easily be produced many times.
Such a perfect card Michele, I love it! I think we will all be casing this one! I love the vellum circle under the trees to give that break from the DSP before adding your stamped trees! Gorgeous card! Thank you for participating in Heart of Christmas and getting us off to a great start!
Snap on the use of that paper Michele! I love how you have added the vellum circle to soften the paper and feature the Christmas trees.
Yes, I am totally with you with quick and easy Christmas cards, Michele. I love the vellum circle behind your die cut trees, so the background paper can be seen, brilliant!
Michele I love how you have stamped the trees with the different green inks to coordinate with the DSP. And those rhinestones add just the right amount of sparkle. Very elegant!
Great card Michele, I love how the die cut trees perfectly co ordinate with the DSP
I love it, Michele, and will be CASEing this (if you don’t mind)! I have this paper, but haven’t had a close look at it … that tree background is gorgeous. I love that you co-ordinated the stamped and die-cut Christmas trees. Perfect!
Michelle, your stamped and die cut trees in the colours of the DSP look absolutely fantastic. Love this card!
Your card is simply elegant! The vellum layer is the perfect addition, and the bow under the sentiment looks fantastic.
