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:
Each year I make small wooden ornaments for my market stall. They sell extremely well. My dear husband finds old dead and dry branches during his walks. He carries them home and then cuts them into discs for me. (Yes, he is a keeper!) I then use a range of Stampin’ Up! stamps, ribbons, trinkets, etc to embellish them. I also have a big tub of gold and silver bells that I bought from Bed, Bath & Table a million years ago that I also use.
So this year when I saw the Ringed With Nature bundle in the mini catalogue, I knew I just had to have it!!!
I was able to recreate one of the ornaments on my card.
The Flat Jingle Bell Trinket was absolutely perfect as an embellishment.
Here you can see the ornament and matching card. I’m off to make some more!!!

Well of course you had to have it, what a perfect bundle for you. Love how you have decorated your cut pieces of wood and then made a card. Lovely
Oh wow, what a champ your husband is, collecting the wood for you. I love the way you have replicated them onto your card. Loving your bright and happy colour combination too!
What gorgeous Christmas ornaments Michele and your card marries perfectly with them even down to the bells! Love your two tone Poinsettia.
Oh Michele, how gorgeous. Both your card and the coordinating ornament are delightful. Your husband definitely is a keeper. Wasn’t SU good to create a suite that was perfect for you. xxx
Michele your card emulates your ornaments perfectly.It’s no wonder the ornaments sell well at your stall as they are lovely.
Michele, I can see why these ornaments sell so well – they are gorgeous! I love that’ve been able to recreate the ornament on your card with the flat jingle bell embellishment – simply perfect!
Your Christmas ornaments are so beautiful, Michele. It’s no surprise that they sell well. Your card is so sweet and I just love the background DSP.
Oh my goodness, how beautiful … both Stephen’s fossicking, and cutting wooden discs for you, and what you’ve created with them. Gorgeous use of this bundle, Michele.
Your ornament looks amazing, and how clever of you to translate it so perfectly to a card! Both are absolutely gorgeous. I have to admit that the branch that I found with the intent to make wooden discs for ornaments has sat by my back door for about 3 years!! I must get moving on them 🙂
Michele, what a perfect stamp set for your wooden slices, and your card uses it perfectly
