Stampin' Up! Heart of Christmas 2019 - Week 8

Can you believe it is 11 weeks until Christmas? I can't and that means it is 11.5 weeks until my significant birthday! Ssh! I am not allowed to get older! So we can just push the stop button now please and have a little rest until I am ready for the big 50!

So as promised last week I will be bringing you a card from my Merry Moose series for week 8 of the Heart  of Christmas. Well ok I made 2 to finish of the series and to show the versatility of this stamp set.

I made another crumb cake card to go with one I made a couple of weeks ago this time without the copper hammer metal panel.

I have also stamped the Christmas tree in soft suede for a little added softness and rearranged the the circle panels. Just to show you what you can do with the almost the same items and get a slightly different look.

Here they are side by side so you understand what I mean. Still both gorgeous products used ever so slightly differently. I am just loving the ribbon from the Come together combo it is so soft!

The stitched shaped dies and layering circle dies were used to cut out the each segment of the images and for vellum behind the images.

For my other Merry Moose card I changed it up a little and our naughty Mr Morris Moose from last week has had enough partying in the village and is on his way back home.

For this card I have taken the colours from the Wrapped in plaid designer series paper, specifically the shaded spruce and the cherry cobbler. You can see the panel behind our Merry Moose and layered with cherry cobbler on a base card of shaded spruce. I have stamped the large tree from the set in shaded spruce on the large stitched shaped square and added the gorgeous copper star element. I love these copper stars! I popped it onto a large cherry cobbler square from the layering square framelit dies. Behind our tired partied out Mr Morris the Merry Moose I have used the smaller tree and stamped again in shaded spruce 3 times without inking before stamping each time. Mr Moose has been stamped in crumb cake and outlined stamped in soft suede before the coordinating Moose punch came into play. His cherry cobbler scarf and hat were stamped and fussy cut. You may notice a few footprints just under his feet, well that is another one of the stamps in the set. Really cool! He has been popped up on some dimensionals.

Our greetings also come from the same stamp set and I have used the stitched shaped die to cut out the top one and then the layering ovals dies to cut out the cherry cobbler for the backing. Happiest of Holidays greeting was punched out with the classic label punch and then I punch another one in cherry cobbler and cut it in half just so we could see the edges.

Well whether you make a set of cards using the Merry Moose set or another stamp set you can sure use the layouts of the cards and the colours from the DSP for your inspiration but really who wouldn't want to make cards with this gorgeous stamp set. Mr Morris the Merry Moose is so much fun!

We have made 9 using this stamp set, a 6x6 one sheet wonder, 3 traditional red and green and 2 gorgeous crumb cake Christmas tree present cards. Thanks for sharing in the fun with Mr Morris the Merry Moose.

Now for some more Christmas inspiration please head over to the lovely Tina Gillespie's blog who is hosting our hop for the list of participants this week.

Stampin' Up - Heart of Christmas 2019 - Week 7

Tonight for week 7 of the Heart of Christmas I have my naughty Mr Morris the Merry Moose for you.  To continue our series of Merry Moose cards, yes I know you didn't think there were so many cards you could get from a moose stamp set but there are and I have still one for you next week. Stay tuned!

So why is Mr Morris the Moose naughty? Well he decided that everyone was having so much fun in the village the he wanted to go see what was happening!

Ok Sharon what are you talking about? See the gorgeous gold foil behind the stitched shaped circle die.  I have used the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder and instead of having the impression indented so it looks hammered, I have it raised so it looks like cobble stones. OH! Now I know what crazy story you are telling Sharon! The naughty Mr Morris Merry Moose is walking on the cobble stones in the village to join in all the Christmas fun!

So for this fun card you will need the Merry Moose Stamp set and Moose punch and you can buy them in a bundle to save 10%, plus the hammered metal 3D embossing folder. Wrapped in plaid Specialy DSP and the Stiched Shaped framelit dies. I have again this week stamped the gorgeous trees in Shaded Spruces behind our moose in the ink once and stamp 3 times. I stamped the scarf in cherry cobbler and cut it out with paper snips. The moose is stamped in crumb cake and then outline stamped in soft suede before being punched and the Happiest of Holidays is stamped in Memento black ink on the strip of cherry cobbler.

This is a fun quick card to make so I hope you have a try!

No please hop on over to lovely Claire Daly to find out the list of the other participants in week 7 of the Heart of Christmas and to find more inspiration for your Christmas cards and decorations this year.

If you have any questions or would like some of the products used in the cards tonight to make your own naughty Mr Merry Moose please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for spending some time with me tonight, have a lovely night, take care,

Stampin' Up - Heart of Christmas 2019 - Week 6

Welcome to week 6 of the Heart of Christmas. I am loving this weekly hop as I am getting through my Christmas card making. This week I will bring you another in my series of Merry Moose Cards. There is so much you can do with this stamp set.

This week I have stamped the cute Christmas tree is shaded spruce 3 times on the edge of the Whisper White card stock without reinking the stamp. I did this also on the round stitched shaped circle die cut out behind the moose. The gorgeous moose is stamped in crumb cake and then the outline is in soft  suede before it is punched out using the Moose Punch that you can bundle together with the stamp set for a 10% discount. 

Before popping him up on dimensionals on the circle I tied a little scarf of Real red curly ribbon around his neck. The beautiful DSP is from the Wrapped in Plaid paper stack and I have added a little bit of linen thread. All of this is placed on a Cherry cobbler card base.

Make sure you come back next Wednesday for the next card in my series of Merry Moose cards.

My friend the lovely and talented Judy May is hosting our blog hop this week so please head over to her blog to see the fantastic inspiration from the rest of the Art with Heart team that are participating this week.
