Week 7 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Bubble Bath

 

Hello and welcome to week 7 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we a featuring the lovely colour called Bubble Bath. This is a very pretty pink and I love it. I wanted to try a fancy fold that I hadn't made before so here it is.

 It doesn't look much when the card is closed, but when you open it all the magic is on the inside. So I started with a Bubble Bath card base and added Fresh Freesia layers before adding the DSP called Bright and Beautiful. I added a closer to the front with a magnet and stamped using the Artistically Inked Set. Finishing off with the beautiful Bubble Bath Ribbon and Iridescent Rhinestones.

 But as I said the magic happens when you open the card. You have a lovely little shopping bag on the inside that will hold a gift card or cash. You could also add a small gift as long as it's not to bulky. So I made my shopping bag from White copy paper and stamped it from the same stamp set. I added 2 ribbon handles using the same Sheer Ribbon in Bubble Bath. I also added layer to the right-hand side front and small piece on the left-hand side. I then stamped my Basic white layer for my writing panel.

 All the items used in this project can be found in the current 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this fancy fold card or the products used please feel free to contact me via Phone, Email or PM.

Week 23 Colour Creations - Blog-Hop Just Jade

 

Hello Everyone and welcome to week 23 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we have Just Jade for you and I know that there will be plenty of lovely projects to get you inspired. Just Jade is one of the 2020-2022 Incolors, so this will be finishing up at the end of the current Annual Catalogue period. What a shame as I really like it. Being in the green range of colours and green being my favourite colour I'm a bit partial to it and find green very easy to work with.

So this is my Card..... I started with a Just Jade card base and added a Basic White layer. I then took another Basic white layer and using the Artistically Inked Stamp set and my Just Jade ink pad I stamped my layer as follows. I started by stamping off twice to get the lightest shade, stamping randomly over the layer and then I inked up again and stamped off once for the next shade. I then finished off by stamping at full strength. I love the way this turned out. I have Frances McFaul to thank for showing me this technique and I really love it. I then added some leave from the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle from the Mini Catalogue. They are in Shaded Spruce, Just Jade and Gold Foil. I finished off the front with a Happy Birthday and small bow.

As I started off with a larger piece of card for my stamping on the front I cut this and added it to the inside of my card. I also stamped some leaves and sentiment all in Just Jade. For a Monochromatic card I think these tones work so will together and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I think I might try the same technique with an array of colours and see what it looks like.

All the items used in this weeks project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and the Aug-Dec 2021 Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this technique or would like to purchase any or all of the products used in this projects please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you. Thank you for taking the time to view my blog.

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.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual 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. Thank you for taking the time to read my Blog. I know that my Sister In-law (Anne) will love her card is purple is her favourite colour.
