Week 18 - Colour Creations Showcase - Gorgeous Grape

 Week 18 Gorgeous Grape

Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 18 of the Art with Heart Team Colour Creations Showcase. 

This week our Colour is Gorgeous Grape this is  part of the Brights Collection of colours and a lovely dark Purple. I have chosen to team mine up with Purple Posy this is one of the 2019 - 2021 In-colors and I think they look very nice together. All my Stamping is using the Gorgeous Grape ink.

I started out with a Purple Posy Card base and add the Gorgeous Grape layer and then another Purple Posy layer I also add yet another layer in the Gorgeous Grape along with Whisper White. I stamped my Poppies using the Gorgeous Grape ink and the Painted Poppies Stamp set. I used the smudgy stamp to stamp the colour of the poppies by stamping off once and then onto the images. I stamped my sentiment from the Peaceful Moments set and once again I stamped in Gorgeous Grape. I then cut this out using the die from the So Sentimental bundle. I coloured around the edge of the die cut sentiment using the Dark Highland Heather Blend pen. I also coloured some gems using the blend pen and attached the tag using dimensionals.

 

My insert was layered using the Gorgeous Grape and Purple Posy and again stamped in Gorgeous Grape. I kept the insert fairly simple and I was happy with the result.

Week 17 - Colour Creeations Showcase - Garden Green

 Week 17 Garden Green

Hi everyone and Welcome to Week 17 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Garden Green, a beautiful rich Green and my Favourite colour. This colour is part of the Regals Collection of colours. I decided this week I would look for a sketch and copy that layout and so I set about finding something that I liked and this is the one I found.

It's a reasonably simple design but I thought it was very effective. I started with a Whisper white card base and added a Garden green 5 5/8 x 3 7/8 inch layer that I embossed using the Old World Paper 3D folder I then added a 5 3/8 x 1 3/4 inch layer of DSP from the Forever Greenery series I added the squares using the layering square dies 1 1/4 inch and the matching scalloped die that you can just see the silver foil edge of. My sentiment tag is 1 x 3 inches. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Posted for You stamp set and stamped and cut out the flower from the Dressed to Impress Bundle.

 

For my insert I smudged the ink around the edges using Garden Green and then layered this onto a Garden green layer before attaching to the inside of the card.

Heart of Christmas 2020

 

Hi Everyone, and welcome to the third Heart of Christmas 2020 Blog Hop. This blog is only run once a month (3rd Monday of each month).

This month I have been playing with the new craze of layering circles and I did mine using designer series paper from the 'Tis the Season 6 x 6 range of papers that can be found in the August - December 2020 Mini Catalogue (Page 31) along with the Poinsettia Petals Bundle from the same catalogue (Page 16). I layered my circle onto a Whisper White layer and then onto a Cherry Cobbler card base. 

I didn't use the largest poinsettia petal I used the 2nd and 3rd size and the tiny little one as I wanted to be able to see the layering circles underneath. I then added some of the Wonderful Gems to finish off the front of the card I stamped the lovely Merry Christmas.

My insert I kept fairly plain but I think it suits this card very well. All the Items used in this project can be found in the 2020 - 2021 Annual Catalogue and the August - December 2020 Mini Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any or all of these items please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 16 - Colour Creations Showcase - Flirty Flamingo

 Week 16 Flirty Flamingo

Hello and Welcome to week 16 of the Colour Creations Showcase.

This week we a featuring the Colour Called Flirty Flamingo a Pretty Pink, but not a colour I use very often as I find it hard to work with. So this week was a challenge for me. Flirty Flamingo are part of the Bights Collection of Colours.

For my card this week I chose to use a few different sets together to create a Sunny card to help usher in the Spring here in Australia.

 I wanted to make a whimsical card and this is what I came up with. Using a layering circle for the sun I then added the smallest of the Triangles to put the rays in. I then stamped the Rain drops in Flirty Flamingo so they could be seen.  I then cut out the  lattice from the Best Year Bundle to look like a window and then added the Umbrellas from the Pretty Parasol and Under My Umbrella sets. I thought this looked whimsical to me.

My insert reflected the outside but was still simple so the card could be used for many occasions.

Week 15 - Colour Creations Showcase - Early Espresso

Week 15 - Early Espresso

 Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 15 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Early Espresso a beautiful rich Brown colour and part of the Neutral Collection. I have chosen to make a Slim line card as it's been a few years since I last made one.

I thought I would like to make a patchwork card so using The Right Triangle bundle I stamped  the 3 designs in the same size 22 times in all and cut them out using the matching dies. I then arranged them on to a white piece of card and when happy with where I had put them glued them all down and cut off any excess around the edges. I layered this onto a Early Espresso piece of Card and then onto a Whisper White Card Base. I then cut out a scalloped circle and a stitched circle that I layered together and using the Nothing's Better Than Bundle stamped the the coffee cups and the words and then die cut out the other word COFFEE and the cups I place these onto dimensionals and attached to the front of the card.

 For the insert of the card I layered an Early Espresso and Whisper White layer together I glued the last triangle to the top corner and stamped in Early Espresso. I was really happy with how the card turned out and I love the patchwork on the front.

Hello Everyone, welcome to week 14 of the colour Creations Showcase, If this is your first time here we are taking a trip through the Stampin' Up! Colors in Alphabetical order. This weeks Colour is Called Daffodil Delight a really pretty Yellow and part of the Brights Collection of colours.

This week my creation is a beautiful card using the Posted for You bundle comprising a stamp set and punch (remember if you purchase the 2 together during the 2020-2021 annual catalogue you can save 10%)
I started my card using a whisper white card base and added a Daffodil Delight layer, I then matted a Pacific Point (Blue) and an Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper I then stamped the floral stamp from the above said stamp set and punched them out using the postage punch.
I used my blends to colour the stamped images and then place dimensionals on the back of the 3 stamped images and lined them up through the middle of the layers.
I stamped and matted my sentiment and once again place dimensionals on the back and attached to the front of the card.

For my insert I used a daffodil delight layer with a whisper white on the top I stamped the same floral design in the right-hand corner and coloured the same as the others.
