Week 4 - Shy Shamrock Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 4 for the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog-Hop. If you are new here. our group feature all the colours of the Stampin' Up! Rainbow, in alphabetical order (except for the New incolours) These are featured first.  So here we are with Shy Shamrock. This is a very pretty green. But I did struggle a little to come up with a card for this week.

So for me I started with a Shy Shamrock card base and added a Mossy Meadow layer. Then I stamped the Leaf Collection stamp onto Basic White with Shy Shamrock ink. I then stamped the same stamp onto some more Basic White in Mossy Meadow and then fussy cut out some of the leaves. I layered these on top and added a sentiment from the Unbounded Love Bundle Using the frame dies I cut out the 1st in Mossy Meadow and the other in Basic White. Stamping in Shy Shamrock. I finished off the front of the card with a Bakers Twine bow and the very pretty 2024-26 Incolour Shimmer Gems .

I wanted to jazz up the inside of my card a little more than I usually do, so I stamped the teapot and fern from the Country Flowers Bundle and used the Shy Shamrock and Crumb Cake blends to colour in with. Then Sentiment on the inside is from the same set. I layered this onto another piece of Mossy Meadow to co-ordinate with the front of the card.

All the items used in this project can be found in the New 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product please feel free to contact me.

Week 49 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Sweet Sorbet

 

Hello and welcome to week 49 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. Only one more week to go and we have done the full rounds of all the colours. This week we have another retiring Incolour called Sweet Sorbet. I have loved this colour and used it often. But once again I decided to use some other product that I know are retiring along with this colour. But I have also used one of the new stamps from the New  2024-25 Annual catalogue.

 This card like most of mine I started with this week feature colour Sweet Sorbet for my base card. I then stamped using the same colour ink the lovely Leaf Collection stamp. You will find this on page 90 of the New 24-25 Annual Catalogue. I think it really look lovely in Sweet Sorbet. I then added a small piece of Vellum to the front of my card and Stamped the Koala from the Wild & Sweet stamp set onto another small piece of Basic White. Unfortunately this set will also be retiring on April 30th 2024. I then coloured in the image using my blend pens, he looks so sweet. I attached this to the Vellum and added some Silver Foil leave from the Natures Note Bundle. (This set is also retiring). I stamped my sentiment from the Grassy Grove stamp set (not retiring) and added a small piece of bakers twine as a bow and some Brushed Metallic dot to finish off the front of the card.

As is my way I kept the inside of the card simple just stamping the grass and sentiment for the Grassy Grove stamp set, onto Basic White card. I really love the way with card turned out even the leave in Sweet Sorbet really pop.

 If you would like to know more about these product (even the retiring one's) please feel free to contact me. All retiring product will retire on the 30th April 2024.

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.
