Heart Of Christmas - October 2020

Welcome to the Heart of Christmas Showcase for October. I can't believe we are just a couple of months away! Can you? So tonight the Art with Heart team will bring you a little inspiration for your Christmas cards and decorations to help you get ready for a wonderful season!

Have you ever had one of those weeks that everything went wrong. Yep! I had my phone die and my credit card number stolen some how we can't quite work out how yet on top of a migraine so I only have one card for you tonight! I also had to do a recording of a song so I was a fraction caught up. I had to record both the vocal and the clarinet part so 1 card it is tonight so I went for the Poinsettia and my favourite colour!

Here is my colour palette for tonight!


I know what you are thinking. A Quick card with the Poinsettia! That is not a quick card.

Rhapsody in craft, Poinsettia Petals, Lovely Labels Pick a punch, Christmas Card, #heartofchristmas2020, #loveitchopit, Stampin' Up Aug-Dec Mini 2020

 Well yes it is and this is why. Get the gorgeous Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper which is on 15% off at the moment and use your Dies that you got in the Bundle with the Stamp set because you love to save and get the 10% discount when you bundle to stamp set and dies together and this card is a breeze!

So that gorgeous white poinsettia is from the Poinsettia Place DSP and I cut the 2 top flowers out with the dies and the bottom 2 I fussy cut from the edge of the paper. The leave and sprigs one run through with the dies and you are done! Layer it all up on the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper and you are good to go. Add a bit of bling with the silver edged ribbon stamp Merry Christmas from the Poinsettia Petals Stamp set in Blackberry Bliss, my favourite colour use the Lovely Labels pick a punch and you are done my friend.

Don't forget to decorate the inside of your card as well.

As you can see I have added a thin strip of the Poinsettia Place DSP to the inside of the card and as you always have little strips left over why not use them on the inside of your cards.

No way that is a quick card - it looks amazing with all those layers and ribbon accent, and I love that you managed to get Blackberry Bliss incorporated!

Fabulous quick card Sharon. Love the introduction of the Blackberry Bliss. It provides great depth behind the vellum paper, making the plush design shine.
