Week 22 Colour Creations Blog - Hop Highland Heather

 

Hi Everyone, Wow can you believe we are at the end of October 2021 already. Well Week 22 brings a Lovely colour for us to use it's called Highland Heather and it's such a lovely soft purple colour. I thought that I would make a card for my Sister In-Law for her birthday I bet you can't tell by my card what date is her Birthday.

That's right the 12th of November. hehehe. I have had this stamp set for a while and this is the first time I have used it. It took me a while to line up like I wanted it, but once it was done I was happy. So this is the Days to Remember Stamp set on page 18 of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. I used the Happy Birthday from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set on page 97 of the Same Catalogue. and my flower as from the Flowers of Friendship Bundle on page 78. 

So I started with the Highland Heather card base and added a Basic White layer and the DSP from the Hand-Penned DSP pack (I love this pack). I stamped my flowers and then punched them out, before gluing them together. I added the Basic pearls and coloured them for the centres of the flowers.

They look a little blue but I coloured them with the Dark Highland Heather Blend pen. For my insert I stamped that large flower from the same stamp set as the from flowers and coloured this in as well and then added a small sentiment of Best Wishes.

Week 21 Colour Creations Blog-Hop Gray Granite

 

Hi Everyone and Welcome to week 21 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our colour is Gray Granite, this is not a colour that I choice to use very often, but I am happy that I gave this card a go and although it's all gray and white I'm happy with the outcome. 

Using only Gray Granite and Basic White card I created this card. All my stamping was done with Gray Granite ink. I used the Basic Borders Dies to create the edge along the front of the card and stamped using the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set. I stamped the flowers from this set and then fussy cut them out. I mounted them onto the front of the card using Dimensionals and finished off with the beautiful Brushed Metallic Dots.

When the card is open to reveal the insert I have just stamped "You are the Best"from the same stamp set. along with more feathers. This will make a really love male card even though it has flowers on the front. The muted colour scheme really works well for me. All the items used in the project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and the 2021 Aug-Dec Mini Catalogue. I really hope that they will carry over these beautiful Brushed Metallic Dot as I think they make a lovely addition to my project.

Week 20 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Granny Apple Green

 

Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 20 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop from the Art with Heart Team Australia. This week our colour is called Granny Apple Green it is part of the Brights Collection and one of my favourite colours.

I thought I would make a Christmas card and I Love the Penguin Place Bundle (Page 33) in the Aug-Dec 2021 Mini Catalogue. This is called a Triple Easel Card and I love it. I started with a Granny Apple Green Card Base and using some Basic White I make my own DSP using the snow flakes stamp from the bundle and Granny Apple Green Ink. I then used my Blending Brush and more of the same colour to lightly colour the white to a very pale green. I then used the layering circles to cut out the stoppers and the pictures along with the Penguin Place stamp set for my pop up images.

It's so cute and I think it really pops in the Granny Apple Green. I attached the pop up images and stoppers to the card using dimensionals and a touch of Wink of Stella to the Christmas Trees.

I stamped the inside of the card on the left-hand side under the middle panel from the same stamp set. This will leave plenty of room for writing my message at a later date. Keeping this card with only the white and green theme was very easy to do, and I think it is effective. 

All the items used in this project are from the Aug-Dec 2021 Mini Catalogue and the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any of all of these products and you live in Australia, please give me a Call, PM or Email so that I can help you with your purchase.

week 19 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Gorgeous Grape

 

Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 19 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Gorgeous Grape, what a pretty colour I'm not a big purple person myself but it is very nice. So this week I thought I would make a lovely card using the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle (on page 106 of the Annual Catalogue) Such a lovely bundle.  I started with a Basic white card base and used the Gorgeous Grape to layer on my card then using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing fold I embossed another piece of basic white to layer over the Gorgeous Grape layer. I then add another layer (smaller) in both Gorgeous Grape and Basic white, this time I stamped the white piece using the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set and Gorgeous Grape ink. After gluing these together I added dimensionals to the back and place this on the card front. I cut out a large plain butterfly from the same bundle and then with the same size filigree butterfly I cut this out in Silver Foil Card. layering my sentiment in the same way to finish off my card front. Adding only a few Basic Pearls that I coloured for the finishing touched.

 For my insert I layered the Gorgeous Grape and white card together and then stamped down the left-hand side with the butterfly stamp. keeping the rest very simple and stamping the insert message from the Pansy Patch stamp set. All the items used in this project are in the 2021-2022 Annual Stampin' Up! 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.
