Week 21 Crushed Curry - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Crushed Curry, and yes it does look like curry powder. I thought I would do something a little different this week, it's not a card. It's a gift card or Money holder, and it hangs.

I started my project using Crushed Curry for the main card stock and added DSP from the Sentimental Christmas Suite. 

It's a cute little hanging box to hang in the Christmas tree, you could put a tag on it with the persons name if you wished. It closes using the sentiment tag at the front. Which comes from the Peaceful Season Bundle. The ribbon is the Frayed Grosgrain. I Stamped in Pretty Peacock and finished with the Drusy  Embellishments.

It's big enough to slip a gift card or some money into the box and a great idea when you don't know what to buy someone for Christmas. If you would like to know more about this design or the products used please feel free to contact me.

Week 42 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Pretty Peacock

 

Hello and welcome to the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Pretty Peacock. I love this colour it's so nice and yet it is a dark colour. I would call this colour a sort of greeny blue. Anyway I thought I would use the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle for this weeks project. So I started with a Pretty Peacock base card and added a Basic White layer and then a DSP layer using the Bright and Beautiful Paper. I then cut out the ice cream cone in Crumb Cake and using the same colour ink darkened the edges so that it looked more rounded. I then cut out the ice cream in Bubble Bath and Basic White to give the effect of a swirl in 2 flavours. Finishing off the ice cream with some strawberries. It looks so good I would love to eat it. I attached this to the front of the card using Dimensionals. along with my sentiment.

 I carried the Strawberry theme over to the inside of the card. I so love strawberries and I coloured these using my Real Red Blends. All the sentiment stamping was done in Pretty Peacock. I must say I really am loving this set, I think I will have to do a video of this card. What do you think?

Week 37 - Colour Creations Showcase - Pretty Peacock

 

 

 

Hello Everyone and welcome to week 37 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Pretty Peacock the is one of the 2019 - 2021 in colors and will be retiring in a few short weeks time :( 

I have chosen to make a Get-well card for my mum as she is in hospital after breaking her hip last week. She has had to have a hip replacement and will be in hospital for about 6 weeks in all. So when I go and visit her next I will take this card and a lovely bunch of flowers to her.

 

 I started my card with a Pear Pizzazz card base and added the Pretty Peacock layer, I then used to So Sentimental bundle to cut out the scalloped rectangle and then added the DSP from the Forever Fern range. I placed all of this onto dimensionals and then added the gold foil strip of the sentiment to sit on. I also used the gold fern specialty paper for the lovely fern in the left-hand top corner and then added some gold enamel dots to finish off the front.

 

My insert is very simple I used the forever fern stamp set along with the Hotdogs stamp set for my message and leaves. the words of Encouragement  I thought were very fitting for my mum.

 Hello Everyone, and welcome to week 35 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Pool Party.  Pool Party is part of the  Subtles Collection and is a beautiful aqua marine colour, that is why I chose to make a card using the Whale Done Bundle from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. I also used the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper as well. 

I started my card using a Pool Party card Base and added a Pretty Peacock Layer and then some of the see view designer series Paper I then stamped the turtle and whale and cut them out. I finished the front of my card with the sentiment Whale Done. I mounted them all onto Dimensionals to give the Whimsical look.

Week 23 - Colour Creations Showcase - Magenta Madness

 Week 23 Magenta Madness

Hello everyone, and welcome to week 23 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Magenta Madness this is one of the 2020-2022 in colors and I love how bright it is.

I did find it hard to make a card with this colour all the same as I wanted to make something elegant and sassy. So I started with a Pretty Peacock card base and then added a Gold Foil Layer before adding another Pretty Peacock layer, I then added a Forever Gold Laser-cut layer. After all the layers I stamped the flower from the Floral Essence Stamp Set onto Magenta Madness card stock using matching ink for the tone on tone look. I then stamped the same image onto some Vellum in the magenta madness ink as well. I then punched out the flowers and layered them together adding a dimensional to the back to attach it to the card front. I also stamped 2 leaves from the Celebrate Sunflowers in Garden Green and vellum and attached these also. I then cut out some of the other leave sprigs from the sunflower set and die cut them out in Silver Foil. I then stamped Happy Birthday onto some whisper white card and layered with magenta madness and add 2 small flowers Arrange a Wreath die set.

 

 

 

For my insert I Just added Best Wishes and bow from the Arrange a Wreath set as well, I then stamped a small piece of Magenta Madness card with the same flower in matching ink. Sweet and simple.All the items used in this project can be found in the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up!

Colour Creations - Pretty Peacock

Hi Everyone, Here we are again with another of the 2019 - 2021 In Colours and this one is called "Pretty Peacock" and it is a lovely peacock bluey/green colour. I really don't think my photo's do it justice. This week I did struggle a bit with finding just the right elements for my card but this is what I came up with (I hope you like it).

 

I used the nesting dies from the Free as a Bird bundle and cut out the 2nd smallest one several times and layered them onto some Silver Foil Sheet with a rather large gap between them and the glued this to a white card base (not sure the white works well) but the pretty peacock didn't look right either.

I then stamped the flowers from the Floral Essence bundle on the vellum and punched them out, I added faceted gems to the centres of the flowers to finish them off. I then stamped my sentiment using Versa Mark and silver Embossing powder I place the tag onto the front of the card using dimensionals and then punched out the smallest butterfly from the Butterfly Gale punch and added this to the tag.

 

For the inside of the card I used a Pretty Peacock layer and white and did my stamping in Pretty Peacock ink. Simple but effective. All the items used in this project can be found in the New 2019 - 2020 Annual Catalogue, if you would like to purchase all and any of the product for this project please give me either a Call, Email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.
