Stampin' Up! Heart of Christmas #10 2018

Today’s card shares the amazing tarnished foil technique using the Seasonal Wreath 3D dynamic textured impressions embossing folder along with basic stamping, punched shapes, layered circles and stampin’ dimensions. I love it when it doesn’t take much to create a real WOW card. This was made in my October Techniques classes and all class attendees have loved it also. 


Did you know that if you get Staz On ink on a portion of the card where you don’t want it (in my case anywhere there wasn’t an impression from the embossing folder) rub some staz on remover onto some fabric and apply it gently to the silver foil and it removes the ink. Perfect for ink clean ups!

Stampin' Up! Heart of Christmas #6 2018

This week I am using Signs of Santa mixed with under the mistletoe designer series paper for a pretty simply card that would be quite easy to mass produce. I used stampin' blends to colour in the santa but if you die cut santa from santa's workshop speciality designer series paper the card would come together even quicker!

I haven't photographed it but the pool party oval the letters J & Y and the santa sit on is die cut from the pool party matt that the designer series paper covers. It is a great way to save cardstock and no one would ever know if you didn't tell them! I made this card in a class recently and the ladies loved the tip of die cutting extras from the matt.

Stampin' Up! Case The Catalogue Blog Hop

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects CASED from the annual catalogue. If you would like a copy of the 2018 - 2019 annual catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you.

You may have come to my blog from Andrea Roberts. Blog hops are full circles, so start blog hopping here and and the end of my post (and everyone else's) there is a link to the next post.

Did you know the meaning of CASE (in the craft world):
Copy and selectively edit
or
Copy and steal everything

In the case of the card I am sharing today, I have done some selective editing for my card. Remember, if you are going to CASE one of the many fabulous craft creations you see, please give credit to the original creator.
I have CASED the thank you card, from page 164 of the catalogue featuring the graceful glass suite. I had my regular class ladies make this card (and a few others featuring products from the graceful glass suite) and it was commented at various times, how relaxing colouring is. Do you find it relaxing?

Now, onto sharing my card with you...

Inside the card

Card I CASED

I hope my spin on the CASED card has inspired you to look at your annual catalogue as another resource other than a catalogue of products Stampin' Up! sell, and use it as a fabulous card magazine full of inspiration also.  

Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the very talented, Rebecca Jacovou.

Stampin' Up! Male Card Class featuring True Gentleman Designer Series Paper

The true gentlemen suite certainly makes masculine cards pretty quick and simple. I love the mix of the blue (night of navy) and green (tranquil tide) together. It certainly throws the old saying of "blue and green should never been seen except with a colour in between" out the window!
I made these 2 cards quickly and so did my ladies who attended the class.
