Week 5 - Summer Splash Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello All, and welcome to week 5 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. Our feature colour this week is the last of the new 2024-26 Incolor group of colours. It's called Summer Splash, this is a really pretty sea green colour and I love it.  I wanted to do something simple yet affective and this is what I came up with.

 Starting with a Summer Splash card base I added a Basic White layer that I embossed using the So Swirly Folder (I'm loving this folder as well). Then I added a DSP layer for the Incolour pack in Summer Splash. I used the striped side. I added the Burlap Ribbon from the Latte Love Suite across the centre. I added a small banner to the left-hand side that I stamped my message onto. Then I stamped the Shopping bags from the Attention Shoppers Bundle onto the DSP and also onto Basic White. I cut out the bags from the DSP and coloured to top section of the white bags and then glued the DSP versions over the top. I attached these to the front of my card and finished off with the lovely matching Shimmer gems.

Keeping the inside of my card simple I stamped a Basic White piece of card with my message and 2 pot plants from the same bundle. All my stamping was done with Memento and Summer Splash ink and my colouring with blends in Old Olive, Summer Splash, Cajun Craze, Fresh Freesia, Poppy Parade, & Flirty Flamingo. This is a really happy card.  All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue or in the online exclusives.

Week 47 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Soft Sea Foam

 

Hello and welcome to week 47 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. Only 3 more weeks to go and we have finished this years round. Wow that time has gone so quickly. This week we have Soft Sea Foam as our feature colour this is part of the Subtles Collection. and is very pretty light green. 

This week I wanted to do a pyramage style card, but I know that it is really hard to line up all the stamped images so I came up with the idea to make my topper first and then using the deckled rectangles I cut out the layers. I then cut the same rectangles onto plain card stock and glued each piece of the layer onto each rectangle. This way I had a solid base under each piece instead of a small piece with a hole in the centre.

I hope you can understand what I'm saying. I then layered each piece on top of each other using dimensionals. I love the way it turned out.

 I used the New Country Flowers Stamp set this I got at On Stage Melbourne (this will be in the New 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. Along with the New Leaf Collection Stamp and the Frames and Flowers DSP, Also all new in the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. 

 I coloured my Urn and leaves using Soft Sea Foam & Smoky Slate Blends mounting everything onto a Soft Sea Foam Card Base. and Stamping Tone on Tone for the Leaf Collection stamp. I used the Pebbled Path Ribbon to add some extra interest to the front of the card. Finishing off the front using the Pick a Banner Punch for my sentiment and the Adhesive Back Shiny Sequins. 

I kept the inside of my card very simple With just a Basic White layer and the words So Lucky to Know You from the same stamp set. 

You will find the ribbon and card stock used all available in the 2023-24 Annual catalogue, but all other items will be in the up and coming 2024-25 Annual catalogue. Which is due out on the 1st May 2024. I know you wont be able to wait and see all the lovely new products. But let me assure you it will be worth the wait.

If you would like to know more about these product preset or upcoming please feel free to contact me.

Week 41 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Pumpkin Pie

 

Hello and welcome to Week 41 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Called Pumpkin Pie, and as the name suggests this is a pumpkin Orange colour, and part of the Regals Collection. This week I am not making a card, I decided I wanted to make another box. This one is a little different as it's an Easter Carrot Box. Soooooo Cute.

No DSP or layering just a cute little box that will hold about 8-9 Solid Chocolate Easter Eggs. So I started this project with the Pumpkin Pie Card, after cutting it out I stamped all around using a stamp for the Thanks a Bunch Sale-A-Bration Freebie set. I then made the top of the carrot using Granny Apple Green and Garden Green Making a fringed top and rolling it up. I then used the Easter Bunny Bundle to Stamp out the Bunny and coloured using Crumb Cake Blends. I then stamped the Sentiment tag from the same set. I used the Happy Labels Punch. I added a Glossy Dot to finish off.

I have used a Velcro dot to keep the lid on the top closed. This is such a cute little project and I have made a few of these.  All the items used are from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue and the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalogue. The only thing that is not from Stampin' Up! is the Velcro Dot and the Chocolates. If you would like to know more about this project, please feel free to contact me via either email, phone or PM.

Week 20 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Flirty Flamingo

 

Hello and welcome to week 20 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Flirty Flamingo. This colour is part of the Brights Collection, but I wouldn't say it's one that I really like that much. I always find it hard to work with. But here is what I came up with.

I decided to make a Twisted Easel Card with a lovely fan on the front. So starting with a Basic White card base I added the Flirty Flamingo layer to the front that I stamped with the Cottage Rose. Then with the Perfectly Penciled DSP I coloured the flowers using the Flirty Flamingo Blends and then folded it into a fan shape. gluing this to the front section of the card. I then stamped the beautiful Cottage Rose Flower and coloured using the same blends, Cutting this out using the dies. I glued this to the fan and used Wink of Stella to give it some bling.

Once again I used a Flirty Flamingo layer for the insert and then another Basic White layer that I stamped  using the Cottage Rose. Colouring this to match the one on the front of the card. I than used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut out the banner for my Stopper. I cut 2 and layered them on top of each other. I placed this on an angle so that the front of the card would twist around and stand up nicely. All of the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product please feel free to give me a call, email or PM so that I might help you.

Week 15 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Crumb Cake

 

Hello and welcome to week 15 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week a feature colour is Crumb Cake. Crumb Cake is part of the Neutrals Collection and a love light brown colour. I like it. I have chosen a card that I saw done by a few different people over the past few months, and I really loved it. It's a larger card fitting into a 51/2 inch square envelope, but when it is open it measures more that 10 inches. It's called a Triple Diamond Card.

I used the beautiful Abigail Rose Suite for this card as I thought the paper and style of this card went together so well. I used my Stampin' Blends to colour the flowers and leaves before cutting them out and mounting them onto the front of the card. I added some Brushed Metallic dots to finish off the front. When the card is standing you it has a zig zag formation.

So it stands really well. I used the DSP from the same set for both the front and back of the card. you actually write on the back of the card.

There is plenty of space here. Even though this is a bigger card I think that it would look wrong if sized down.  it does fold flat nicely to fit into the envelope.

So happy with this card that I wrote a tutorial for this card so that I could make it again. If you would like to know more about this project or the products used please feel free to give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you.

Week 9 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Blackberry Bliss

 

Hi Everyone, welcome to week 9. This week our colour is called Blackberry Bliss, but it's not Bliss for me as I don't like this colour at all. You will find this colour in the Regals Collection. I personally really have a problem working with this colour, but this is what I came up with.

I chose to start with a Basic White card base and add Blackberry Bliss as my layer. I then added the beautiful Hues of Happiness DSP for my stopper on my Easel card. I added a Basic White layer to the Diamond Easel section, this I used the die from the Happiness Abounds Bundle so that the Blackberry Bliss could be seen through it. I then stamped the Flowers from the same bundle and coloured using the Blend Pens in both Light & Dark.

I added more layers of Blackberry Bliss and DSP at the back of the card. This way when the card is flat and pulled out of the envelope the Pattern flows. Adding a Basic White insert for my sentiment to finish off the card.

Considering this is not a colour that I work with very often, I was pleased with the results. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this fancy fold or the products used, Please feel free to contact me either by Phone, Email or PM.

Week 5 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Tahitian Tide

 

Hi and welcome to week 5 of the Art with Heart Team Australia Blog-Hop. If you haven't been here before we are showcasing all of the Stampin' Up! Colours in Alphabetical order. We are however starting with the new 2022-2024 In-colours and this is the Last of them. It's Called Tahitian Tide a Blue colour. This week I have chosen to case a card from the new 2022-2023 Annual catalogue, well it's my twist on it from page 113. 

 I started with a Tahitian Tide card base and added a Basic White layer. I them used the new Incolor DSP (159258), I cut it to size and then cut off a 1 inch (2.5cm) strip length ways and turned it around. This way both sides of the beautiful DSP can be seen. I then cut another piece of Basic White and stamped the one of the images from the In the Moment Stamp Set (157987) along with the sentiment. I used my Blends for colour the images and the die from the Hues of Happiness Bundle (158824) to put the holes down the side so that it looks as though it's been pulled out of a coil bound pad. I finished off the front of the card with glossy dots (158827) Even though they are Pool Party they matched pretty well with the card. 

I love the look of the spiral bound edge it's really brings your eye to the centre of the card. I did mount this layer onto Dimensionals (104430).

My insert was every simple with the same stamped image at the bottom and the sentiment stamped with Tahitian Tide ink. I think this a card I would give to someone who it feeling a little low, so at this time I don't have anyone in mind. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue, if you would like to know more about these products or you would like to purchase them please feel free to give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you.
