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.

Week 34 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Mossy Meadow

Hello, welcome back, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas holiday break. So we are carrying on from where we left off last year. Meaning Week 34 is Mossy Meadow week. Being a big fan of green I really didn't have much trouble coming up with this weeks project. I decided to use the New Rock Star Suite collection from the new mini Catalogue that goes live tomorrow. I was so happy to see some really male product in this new catalogue.
 

So I started with a Mossy Meadow card base and added a Soft Sea Foam layer and the lovely Rock & Roll DSP. This DSP is in black and white so I coloured all the guitars. I then added the large plectrum cut out of Mossy Meadow card stock. I then heat embossed the microphone and sentiment tag with Silver Embossing Powder. Placing them onto the front of the card using dimensionals. Then finishing off the front using the Adhesive backed Lighting and Stars.

I used the same layering on the inside of the card and stamped from the Rock Star Bundle in Mossy Meadow. I added the lighting to add a little more interest to the inside of the card. I had the idea for this card in my head before I had even got my order, so I was really happy that it came together just how I wanted it.

These new product can be found on page 55 of the new Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or would like to purchase them please feel free to contact me.

Week 48 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Soft Sea Foam

 

Hello and Welcome to week 48 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour if Soft Sea Foam. It's a very pretty Pale Green colour and one I don't use enough. I hope it is not one that will go with the colour refresh.  I have chosen to make a Lattice card. These seem to be all the rage at the moment. 

I started with a Soft Sea Foam card base for this one and added Garden Green layers. I cut my lattice card out as I thought it was made from the photos I had seen. I added a DSP layer from the Tea Boutique DSP. My flowers are from the Celebrate Sunflower Stamp set and dies. I stamped my Flowers and coloured them using Soft Sea Foam blends Light & Dark and then added Daffodil Delight Light over the top. I Stamped my sentiment tag and used the Happy Labels Punch on the edges. Finishing off with Opal Rounds. 

I was surprised at how stable the card was having half the front cut away. But I must say it is very effective. My insert was just the Garden Green layer with Basic white. Stamping my insert message high up in the card so that it didn't show through the lattice.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this project or the products used please feel free to contact me via email, PM or Phone.

Week 45 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Soft Sea Foam

 

Wow can you believe we are almost at the end of the colours? only one more to go. This week though we have Soft Sea Foam a very very pale green and very pretty as that. Soft Sea Foam is part of the Subtles Collection. I have chosen to make a Mother's day card as Mother's Day is the 8th May here in Australia. I am using the beautiful Pansy Petals DSP for this card.

This is the card that I made. I Started with Soft Sea Foam for the base that I cut into a 6 x 6 inch square an formed an envelope shape. I then cut out the flowers and leaves from the DSP and arranged them onto the front of the card. I added some Silver Foil leaves from the Forever Fern dies and the Happy Mother's day came from the Timeless Tulips stamp set. Finishing off the front of the card with some Basic Rhinestones.

As I wanted my card to sand on it's own I added a small card to the back of the envelope so that it would stand.

I just placed a piece of Basic White card to the inside so that I could write a message to mum. This is such a lovely colour to work with and the Pansies go really well with Soft Sea Foam. I know my Mum will love this card.

All the items used in this project and in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue, that ends on the 2nd May 2022 so after this day the DSP will no longer be available. I'm please to say that the Pansy Patch Stamp set and dies will still be available in the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue that goes live on the 3rd May 2022. If you wish to purchase any or all of these items please feel free to give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Hello Everyone and Welcome to week 33 of the Art with Heart Team Australia Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring the colour Pacific Point. This is a colour from the Brights Collections and is a beautiful rich blue.  I have chosen to feature this colour using the Friends are like Seashells Bundle on page 27 of the Annual Catalogue. I must admit I purchased this set awhile ago but never got around to using it. I also have used a Sale-A-Bration item Simply Marbleous DSP. So I started with a Basic White card base and added my Pacific Point layer and the Simply Marbleous DSP in the Balmy Blue. I then cut out the large seashell die and stamped my images onto the cut out using Pacific Point, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive and Calypso Coral. I then used my blending brushes to colour the leafy area with Soft Sea Foam. After that I used the Embossing folder to add texture to the die cut image, it really pops. Then I mounted this onto the front of my card using dimensionals. I added my sentiment and so star fish, to finish off the front I used Wink of Stella on the seashells to give that wet look.

 My inside of the that is also layered with Pacific Point and Basic White I stamped in the feature colour and added a couple of reeds and shells to the bottom left-hand corner.

Week 49 - Soft Sea Foam - Colour Creations Showcase

 

Hello Everyone and welcome to week 49 of the colour creations Showcase. This week we have Soft Sea Foam for you and though this is a colour I don't use very often I was really amazed at how lovely my card turned out. 

I kept it very simple by only using minimal amounts of other colours. I started with a card blank in Soft Sea Form and added and embossed layer using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder in the same colour, this I glued down flat. I then used some of the Gold emboss Acetate sheet and a white Stitched So Sweetly Rectangle for my feature I glued these together and added Dimensionals to that back to give it some depth. I punched out the small flowers and added the gold glitter Enamel dots to the centres of the flowers. to finish off the front of the card I punch out some Sprigs in Gold Foil, White and Soft Sea Foam. 

My insert was kept very simple only a white layer that I used the Blending brush on around the edges with my Soft Sea Foam ink pad so that it soften the edges of the card. All of my stamping was done in Old Olive ink so that it didn't look so bright against the Soft Sea Foam. To catch all the other projects using Soft Sea Foam please head over to Catherine's Page here-:

All the items except the Small Bloom Punch and the Gold Glitter Dots 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 of PM me so that I can help you with your Purchase.

Hi Everyone and Welcome to week 19 of the colour creations Showcase from the Art with Heart Team Australia. This week our colour is Granny Apple Green, and as Green is my favourite colour I really had fun making this card.

I chose the Tree Angle Stamp Set from the Aug-Sept 2020 Mini Catalogue and the Dies from The Right Triangle Bundle from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue.

I started with a Slim Line card in Whisper White and then added a Granny Apple Green Layer. My next layer was White again and I used my Sponge Brayer and Granny Apple Green ink for the bottom half of the card and Soft Sea Foam for the top half. I then stamped the snowflakes from the Snowflake Wishes Bundle in Balmy Blue. I Stamped a variety of the Trees onto white card. I also stamped the trunk of the tree and then placed them onto the front of the card. I add some gold stars to the top of the trees to finish them off.  I added my Sentiment to the top and a Sliver Snowflake then a few Wonderful Gems just of finishing touches.

 

My insert was layered the same as the front of the card I also stamped some snowflakes in the top left-hand corner and one of the Tree Angle Trees down the bottom. All my Sentiment Stamping Front and Insert were stamped in Garden Green.

Colour Creations - Soft Sea Foam

 

Hi Everyone, Well here we are again with our lovely Colour Creations Blog-Hop and how sad is it that we are almost finished all the colours.

This week our colour is called Soft Sea Foam what a lovely colour so pretty I love it.

I used the Let is Ride stamp set and made it look as though the horse is running through the water. My card was made using a Pool Party card base the a White layer before adding a second layer in Soft Sea Foam. This is a sort of easel card with a difference as it opens like a regular card as well.

I used the sea stamp for the High Tide stamp set as I thought this looked the best a stamped tone on tone. I coloured my horse using the blender pens before adding this to the a layer for the easel part of the card.

As you can see from this photo when you pull the ribbon the easel lifts up revealing a messages at the top and bottom of the card. But it will also lay flat to post or if you would like it standing like a regular card as seen in the photo below.

All the items used in the project as in the current Occasions and 2018-2019 Annual Catalogues and will be carrying over to the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue. if you would like to purchase any or all of the product used in the project please give me a Call, email or PM so that I might help you with your purchase.
