Heart Of Christmas: July

Hi!


Thanks for joining me for the first of this year's Heart Of Christmas Creative Showcase. This is the fourth year the Art With Heart team have been doing the Heart Of Christmas. This year, we are starting earlier, but it will be a monthly event, not weekly.

I was a little time short this week, so I've made a quick and easy Christmas card, using the new Trimming The Town DSP. The whole suite is my clear favourite from the upcoming August-December Mini Catalogue. The trees were cropped from the DSP using the matching Home Together Dies. I used my friend, Judy's trick and roughly cut the trees, glued them to some Whisper White card, and then cropped them. I knew I was going to pop some of them up, and this gives them extra thickness, so they are less likely to sag.

One of the dies in the set is a long curved line, designed to make a snowy hill. I used the die itself as a mask before sponging a little Balmy Blue ink for a bit of sky. I couldn't quickly lay my hands on my large sticky notes, but the die worked as a mask in a pinch! The sentiment was also cropped from the DSP - no stamping required!

The DSP also has smaller sized trees, so I cropped a few of them for the inside. I also repeated the sponging with the hill die, just on a smaller scale. The inside sentiment is from another new stamp set, Peace & Joy. I think it works well with the DSP sentiments.

To see the rest of July's Heart Of Christmas Creative Showcase, you will need to head on over to Judy's blog. You will find the rest of the links there.

Bye for now,

Tina
