Week 19 - Heart of Christmas

 



Welcome to week 19 of the Heart of Christmas blog Hop for 2021. This week I will be creating for you something a little different. I have used the Give it a Whirl dies to create my card. I know a little different but I saw this idea on Jini Merck's page and thought I would give it a go.

I have paired the Give it a Whirl dies with the Great Tidings Bundle and the 3 Wise Men are are bringing the joy of their gifts with each spin of the little wheel.

Now I have hidden the brad in the City of David but if you didn't want to have the City of David you could hide the brad behind a star or a Wise Man's head.

After I cut out the wheel for the sentiments and picture to go behind our cut out window in the Peaceful Place Specialty DSP with all the silver snowflake stars I put the wheel back over the top, lined up the stamp, picked it up with my Stamp-a-ratus plate removed the wheel so I could put the magnets in place in case I wanted to stamp more than once and stamped the image. I didn't do that with the first one I just eye balled it. I will let you guess which one that was before I got a clue!

I have used the beautiful blending brushes to add a little Night of Navy to the Wheel of sentiment and the sentiment on the front of the card so that it wasn't so start white against the silver and Night of Navy card and you know I can't resist the Stampin' Blends, there are a few different colours today but still my trusty Blackberry bliss! Oh the silver star is from the Give it a Whirl dies.

Great, creative, use of these dies, Sharon. I laughed heartily at your description of your "eye-balling" technique ... meh, sometimes it works beautifully, sometimes it's a little "off", but the beauty is, it's handmade!

Cathy Proctor said...

This is such a wonderful use of those dies, Sharon. These dies and that stamp set work so wonderfully together!

Tina said...

I am totally an eye-baller, so I am very impressed with your efforts to use your Stamparatus. It's a great card, and I agree that the navy ink on the spinner was the right move.

Kate Morgan said...

Well there you go, those dies work great with this stamp set! I bought these dies and still haven't used them, now I am inspired to try them with other stamps. Love the gorgeous colours you'ver used on your kings.

This is a fabulous idea to use the spinner with this stamp and die set. Love the night sky DSP and blended Night of Navy ink.

Eye-balling is what makes our cards unique and look very much individual and handmade. Another lovely card Sharon
