Heart of Christmas - Week 6 - Peace to You!

Welcome to week 6 of the Heart of Christmas blog hop. This week I have decided to case a card from the Jun-Dec 2022 Mini Catalogue! Did you know that all those great photos of cards are fantastic ideas that you can reproduce yourself!

This is the version in the Jun-Dec Mini,  and here is my version.

So how did I make my version? I started with a Crumb Card Base and then in my version I used the Stitched Rectangle dies to cut out a layer of Basic White card. I then used some of the new masking paper and cut it into thin strips and put it on the basic white card to create a rectangle so I could blend inside and have crisp lines.

Before taking off the masking paper I flicked a little wink of Stella over the blended middle. I have used Pool Party to blend my centre but in the sample in the catalogue they have used Balmy Blue.

On another piece of Basic White card I stamped the Nativity scene in Night of Navy and coloured it with the  Stampin blends of Light and Dark Pool Party, Light and Dark Sweet Sorbet, Light and Dark Crumb Cake and Bronze. Then I fussy cut out the image. I also added a little bit of wink of Stella to the star.

In the catalogue they used the Open Leaf Trinkets but I had used all of mines so time to reorder another lot. So what could I do. I thought one of the leaf dies from the Splendid Stem dies looks a little bit like the trinket So I cut one out in copper foil. I cut it apart and then the little but that I had cut off I used on the right side.

Now for the sentiment I have stamped it in Night of Navy onto the Sweet Sorbet card and then cut out with the Stitched Rectangle dies. I have shortened this sentiment like I did my sentiment on Wednesday. Run it through then put the end in and just hit the end in your die cut machine so that you shorten the length of your sentiment. In the example in the catalogue the car is Cherry Cobbler as is the colouring with the Stampin' Blends.

Pop the sentiment up on dimensionals on your card over the leaf.

Of course you need to add some bling and I have used some Basic Rhinestone Jewels compared to the catalogue version of Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels which I didn't have. So I stepped my version up by using the stitched rectangles and I also added the use of the Splendid Stems dies but I think it came out pretty close to the one in the catalogue. So don't forget to give the examples in the catalogue a go!

Here they are both side by side, what do you think of my attempt?
