Christmas with Peace On Earth & Ornamental Christmas
Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and our last Art with Heart Team Heart of Christmas Blog Hop for 2025. We have been sharing Christmas inspiration each Monday evening until tonight, 24th of November. How can Christmas be a month away?
I created 2 cards to share with you tonight, however, now have little time for the blog write-up so it will be brief tonight. The designs for both cards came to mind as I was creating something else so am delighted to share them with you here.
CARD 1
This card is built from the Peaceful Garden Suite, including the Peaceful Days Sticker Sheet and the stamp set. The Sticker Sheet was created for scrapbooking but the stickers can also be used for card-making too.
A panel of embossed Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper was adhered to a Cloud Cover card-stock base. The panel had been embossed with the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder and a Basic White Label was die cut using the Branching out dies.
The sentiment came from the Peace On Earth stamp set and was white heat embossed on Secret Sea card-stock. A tree from the Ornamental Christmas stamps was used on the accompanying envelope.
Two of the trees from the Peaceful Days sticker sheet were used on the card front. Some of the beautiful silver Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments were scattered and a little Cloud Cover splattering.
The beautiful Cloud Cover ribbon was tied around the card front near the card fold, ending in a bow. As mentioned, some trees were stamped onto a Basic White C6 Envelope in Cloud Cover Classic ink.
CARD 2
The gorgeous Modern Christmas Speciality Designer Series Paper includes a sheet packed full of Gold baubles. A number of baubles were fussy cut and then coloured with Classic inks and Mini Blending Brushes.
One of the "B" side designs from the Peaceful Garden DSP was dry embossed with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing folder before being adhered to a Cloud Cover card-stock base. A little White Craft ink was blended in the centre to give a sense of light & dark.
The coloured baubles were arranged and most were popped up on Dimensionals. A Basic Black Journalling Pen drew the strings to hang the baubles.
The sentiment came from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set. It was white heat embossed onto Secret Sea card-stock and then fussy cut. A bow of Black & Gold twine was tucked under the sentiment. The final touch was a sprinkling of gold Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments.
Some of the same Peaceful Garden DSP was added to the envelope flap to coordinate with the card. A couple of extra baubles were added inside the card.
