Week 22 - Colour Creations Showcase - Just Jade

 Week 22 Just Jade

Hello and Welcome to week 22 of the Art with Heart Team Australia Colour Creations Showcase. 

This week our colour is Just Jade this is one of the 2020-2022 incolors and what a lovely colour it is. I have used the Daisy Lane stamp set and punches along with the Butterfly Beauty Dies to create this card.

I started with a whisper white card base and added some DSP from the Flowers for Every Season 6 x 6 pack at the bottom of the card and a piece of Just Jade card at the top that I had run through my Ornate Floral embossing folder I then added some Just Jade Ribbon. I stamped my Daisy using the Just Jade ink I stamped 2 large and 2 small daisies at 1st generation stamping and 1 each of the large and small at 3rd generation stamping I then glue them together in sets of 3 and then added the smaller one to the top of the larger daisy. I did however add the yellow centre to the flower from the retired flower centers. I then cut out only a small section of the large butterfly dies to create the small butterfly on the front of the card. I cut this in Just Jade and Mint Macaroon. I used the Blue Adhesive Backed Gems from the Mini Catalogue and amazing enough they looked green on the card, as they really do pick up the colours beautifully.

I used the So Sentimental Bundle for my tag and stamped this once again using Just Jade.


 


For my insert I layered some more whisper white onto a just jade layer and also added some DSP to match the front of the card. I used the die from the Hippo Happiness Bundle to cut out the DSP and then cut his in half to place around the edge of my white layer. 

All the items in this project can be found in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue except the yellow flower centre (Retired) and the Blue Gems that can be found in the 2020 Mini Catalogue.

Week 21 - Colour Creations Showcase - Highland Heather

 Week 21 Highland Heather

Hello Everyone, and Welcome to week 21 of the Art With Heart Team Colour Creations Showcase.
This week our colour is Highland Heather this colour is part of the Subtles Collection and a really lovely purple. I wanted to use the Embrace Each Moment stamp set and was struggling to think of anything to do then I came across this card on Pinterest (Sorry I can't give credit as there was no name) But thank you for the inspiration. 
I Started with a Whisper White Card Base and added the Highland Heather layer, I then cut out the frame for the Ornate Styles Bundle and then cut out the centre of the frame so that I could place another Whisper White Layer behind it. I then stamped my image onto the white layer and using the Blends Light and Dark in Highland Heather and Purple Posy along with the Bronze, Ivory and Lifter I coloured in my image. I then used the Light Gray Granite blend to highlight the couple. I then added this to the front of the card and then place the frame around it. I Coloured 3 of the metallic pearls with Highland Heather and place them in the top corner of the frame. I then took some of the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and using the Dark Highland Heather Blend pen I coloured to dots. I tied 2 bows and then using glue dots I glued them together to form a double bow.
I place the bow in the bottom left-hand corner to finish off the front of the card. For my insert I stamped the hands and coloured them and simple works of Embrace the Moment. I layered this in the same way as the front of the card.

Heart of Christmas 2020

 

Hello and welcome to the October Heart Of Christmas 2020 Blog Hop. This hop is show casing the beautiful Christmas Project from the Art with Heart Team Australia.

As this is only a monthly blog during the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue all project are using current items. So I hope this inspires you all to create some beautiful Christmas Card project.


 

This week I have chosen to use the Lovely "Joyful Holly" Stamp set featured on Page 34 of the said about Catalogue. I started with a Very Vanilla Card base and added a Silver Foil Layer before stamping the holly leaves onto another Very Vanilla Layer. I then stamped the leaves and berries using Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler ink. I then add the beautiful Metallic Mesh Ribbon and a Sentiment tag over the top the tag came from the So Sentimental Bundle (found in the Annual 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue) Page 74. I cut the tag out twice once in silver foil and then in Very Vanilla, I then trimmed the Very Vanilla tag to remove the stitched line and glue the 2 tags together. 


 For my insert I also layered using the Silver Foil and Very Vanilla. I stamped my sentiment from the Dove of Hope Bundle Page 13 of the Mini Catalogue, along with the leaves.

This is a very simple card and I really needed that this week as I have been so busy getting my house ready for sale and 2 open inspections in 3 days. At least I still found time to relax and craft.

Week 20 Colour Creations Showcase - Gray Granite

 Week 20 - Gray Granite

Hello Everyone and Welcome to week 20 of the Art With Heart Team Australia Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Gray Granite, this colour is part of the Neutrals Collections and I think as grays go this is a lovely shade.

I have chosen the Prized Peony Stamp Set for this weeks project along with the Peony Garden DSP. My other colours for this card are Basic Gray, Whisper White, and Smoky Slate. I decided I would give the Stamping Block Technique a try and I was really pleased with the way it turned out.
I layered Basic Gray onto a Gray Granite card base and then added the DSP layer and another strip of Basic gray. I then layered the 2 gray squares and stamped using my (D) Block with smoky slate I stamped off first and then onto the whisper white card. I then stamped the peony flower 3 times using Gray Granite. I mounted this to the front of the card and added my sentiment at the bottom stamped once again in Gray Granite. I finished off the front of the card with 3 Metallic pearls.

 

 I kept the inside of the card very simple as the word on the front can be used for many different occasions. So I only layered the Basic Gray and Whisper White before stamping the smallest Peony flower in Gray Granite. Personally I think this card is so Elegant but I'm a bit biased.
All the items used in this project can be found in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any of all of the products used in this project please give me a Call, Email or PM so that I might help you with your purchase.

Week 19 - Colour Creations Showcase - Granny Apple Green

 Week 19 Granny Apple Green

Hi Everyone and Welcome to week 19 of the colour creations Showcase from the Art with Heart Team Australia. This week our colour is Granny Apple Green, and as Green is my favourite colour I really had fun making this card.
I chose the Tree Angle Stamp Set from the Aug-Sept 2020 Mini Catalogue and the Dies from The Right Triangle Bundle from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue.
I started with a Slim Line card in Whisper White and then added a Granny Apple Green Layer. My next layer was White again and I used my Sponge Brayer and Granny Apple Green ink for the bottom half of the card and Soft Sea Foam for the top half. I then stamped the snowflakes from the Snowflake Wishes Bundle in Balmy Blue. I Stamped a variety of the Trees onto white card. I also stamped the trunk of the tree and then placed them onto the front of the card. I add some gold stars to the top of the trees to finish them off.  I added my Sentiment to the top and a Sliver Snowflake then a few Wonderful Gems just of finishing touches.

 
My insert was layered the same as the front of the card I also stamped some snowflakes in the top left-hand corner and one of the Tree Angle Trees down the bottom. All my Sentiment Stamping Front and Insert were stamped in Garden Green.
