Week 26 Colour Creations Showcase - Merry Merlot

 Week 26 Merry Merlot

Hello and Welcome to week 26 of the Art with Heart Team Australia Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Merry Merlot a lovely rich red wine colour. As we are close to Christmas I thought I would do a Christmas Card so Here it is.

 

 I used the quite Curvy dies and the Poinsettia Petals bundle along with the beautiful Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper which I love so much.

I also used Silver Embossing powder on my poinsettia flower so that it stands out against the darker Merry Merlot. I did find it a little harder to make this card as it's not a colour I find easy to work with.  I finished off the front of my card with the Holiday Rhinestones even though they are Cherry Cobbler they seem to match in very well.

 

 

My insert was kept very simple once again only adding a layer of Merry Merlot between the 2 layers of Whisper White card and stamping in Merry Merlot ink. I'm sure who ever gets this card will like it.

Week 25 - Colour Creations Showcase - Melon Mambo

 Week 25 Melon Mambo

Hello and welcome to week 25 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Melon Mambo another of my favourite colours and part of the Brights Collections.

 

 

 

I had seen this snow drift scene done a few times and thought I would like to give this a try. So I set about doing this. My first attempt was in Pool Party and Pretty Peacock and the 2nd was in Seaside Spray and Misty Moonlight both turned out pretty good. So I decided I would try Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo. As you can see I did one with a Melon Mambo card base and the other Whisper White. The stamp sets I used for the trees were Perfectly Plaid and Winter Woods. I couldn't believe how pretty the trees look in pink (who would have guessed).

I stamped the Merry Christmas from the Poinsettia Petals Stamp set using Memento Black ink and added Wink of Stella over the trees to make them sparkle.

 

 

 Because when I stamped my snow drift scene a started with a piece of card that measured 5 7/8 x 8 1/4 inches, after cutting it down to make the fronts I had a piece left over so I added this to the inside of the card. I was surprised just how easy this technique really is to create and I love it and plan to make some more cards in different colour combos. All the items used in this project are in the 2020-2021 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any of these items please give me a call, email or PM so that I might help you.

Heart of Christmas November 2020

 

 

Hello and Welcome to the final Heart of Christmas 2020 Blog Hop. We have seen some really beautiful projects and lots of inspiration from all who have participated, thank you.

This week I have a project that I really enjoyed making I used the Hammered Metal Embossing fold and the Ornate Thanks edge die along with the Poinsettia petal bundle. I must say I was pleased with the results. I really only used 2 colours Very Vanilla and Garden Green and I stamped using Soft Suede. 

 

 

 

I used the Poinsettia Place DSP for my 3 circles and the small die from the Poinsettia Petals bundle. I mounted my 3 circles using dimensionals. This was such a simple design and yet it says it all. (or at least I think it does) I kept my insert very plain by layering with a Garden Green and Very Vanilla layer.

 

 I used the holly leaves from the Peace & Joy stamp set just to give a little more. All the items used in this project can be found in the August - December 2020 Mini Catalogue and the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue, If you would like to purchase any or all of the products used in this project please give me a Call, Email or PM so that I might help you.

Week 24 - Colour Creations Showcase - Mango Melody

 Week 24 Mango Melody

Hello and welcome to week 24 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Mango Melody and really rich orangey yellow I love it. You will find this colour as part of the Brights Collections it's comes in A4 Card stock, Classic Ink Pad and Refill, along with Blends combo Pens and DSP. 

I have chosen to use the Daisy Lane stamp set for my card and I made my own DSP.

I started my project with a Mango Melody card base and added a whisper white layer before using the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder on the Mango Melody layer. I then cut out the edging in So Saffron to place either side of my middle panel. I then sponged the whole panel in So Saffron so that is wasn't so brightly white. Then using the dies from the Ornate Thanks Bundle. I placed this panel onto dimensionals and added a scalloped and plain circle to the centre. I then added 2  rectangles over the top to add some interest, and stamped Lets Celebrate you from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set.

 

My insert was very basic I added a Whisper white layer to stamp my sentiment onto. The stamp set used here is the So Sentimental set as I really love the set and use it a lot.

All the items used in this project can be found in the current 2020-2021 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue, if you would like to purchase these items please give me a call, email or PM so that I might help you with your purchase.
