Week 29 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Merry Merlot

 Hello and Welcome to week 29 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is called Merry Merlot. A lovely dark red wine colour. I was having trouble coming up with a design for my card so I decided I would do my go-to layout. 

So starting with a Merry Merlot card base I added a Basic White layer that I stamped using the Painted Poppies stamp set. I stamped these along the bottom and the top of the white layer. I then added another Merry Merlot layer and then my DSP from the Lights Aglow. I know that the DSP is Cherry Cobbler but I thought it went really well. I then cut out my Poppies using the coordinating dies Using both Merry Merlot and Cherry Cobbler. Then added my sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. I embossed this in gold, though the photo really doesn't do it justice. The oval and the ribbon ends are from the He's all That bundle. Lastly I added some Champagne Rhinestone.

I love this layout as it's very effective and really easy when you need that quick card but you want it to look special. My insert I stamped using Merry Merlot ink and added my message and another row of the poppies along the bottom.

Week 18 - Colour Creations Showcase - Gorgeous Grape

 Week 18 Gorgeous Grape

Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 18 of the Art with Heart Team Colour Creations Showcase. 

This week our Colour is Gorgeous Grape this is  part of the Brights Collection of colours and a lovely dark Purple. I have chosen to team mine up with Purple Posy this is one of the 2019 - 2021 In-colors and I think they look very nice together. All my Stamping is using the Gorgeous Grape ink.

I started out with a Purple Posy Card base and add the Gorgeous Grape layer and then another Purple Posy layer I also add yet another layer in the Gorgeous Grape along with Whisper White. I stamped my Poppies using the Gorgeous Grape ink and the Painted Poppies Stamp set. I used the smudgy stamp to stamp the colour of the poppies by stamping off once and then onto the images. I stamped my sentiment from the Peaceful Moments set and once again I stamped in Gorgeous Grape. I then cut this out using the die from the So Sentimental bundle. I coloured around the edge of the die cut sentiment using the Dark Highland Heather Blend pen. I also coloured some gems using the blend pen and attached the tag using dimensionals.

 

My insert was layered using the Gorgeous Grape and Purple Posy and again stamped in Gorgeous Grape. I kept the insert fairly simple and I was happy with the result.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2020 -2021 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any or all of these product please give me a call, Email or PM me and I will help you with your purchase.

Week 9 - Colour Creations Showcase - Cherry Cobbler

Week 9 - Cherry Cobbler

 

     Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 9 of the colour Creations Showcase. This weeks colour is Cherry Cobbler and as the name says this is a lovely rich dark red colour it is part of the Regals Collection of colours. 

     This week I have 2 cards for you all to see, my first is using the "To a Wild Rose" bundle which can be found on page 15 of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. This card started life as a Cherry Cobbler cards base and I added a white layer with 3 Cherry Cobbler strips on the left hand side. I then stamped my message onto an white card and die cut out in oval along with another scalloped oval in Cherry Cobbler and attached to the front of the card using dimensionals. I then stamped the large flower (which if a 3 stage stamp) using the stamparatus along with the leaves and then die cut them and attached to the front of the card. 

 

     

     I left the inside blank as I am going to write a letter to send this card to my Pen Friend in the UK, we have been friend since we were both 7 years old, even with the miles between us these days we still write letters to each other. (on Paper)

     For my 2nd card once again I started with a Cherry Cobbler card base and then I added a strip of DSP from the new Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalogue That goes live on the 4th August 2020 this Paper is from the 'Tis the Season range on page 31 of the Mini Catalogue. I attached this to a white card and then run it through the Big Shot using the "Old World Paper" 3D Embossing folder. I then stamped the poppy from the  "Painted Poppies" stamp set and coloured them using the Cherry Cobbler Blender pens. I added my Happy Birthday from the "Peaceful Moments" Bundle using the die to cut out the tag. I coloured 3 of the Champagne Rhinestones using the Dark Cherry Cobbler blender pen and place them onto the front of the card.

      Once again I left the inside of the card blank as this stage. All the items in these 2 project can be found in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue and the August- December 2020 Mini Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any or all of the items used in these projects please give me a call, email or PM, so that I can help you with your purchase.
