Week 29 - Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Misty Moonlight

Hello Everyone, and welcome to the last Colour Creations Blog-Hop for 2021. No this isn't the end of our Colour Creations Blog-Hop we will be back on the 5th January 2022 with the next colour.

But for this week we are doing Misty Moonlight as our colour. This in one of the 2020-2022 In Colors and a very pretty dusty blue. 

I have chosen to do mine using all products from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue.  So I have started with a Basic White card Base and added a Misty Moonlight Layer, then a DSP layer from the Simply Elegant specialty paper pack. I then used the Color & Contour Bundle for my Scalloped layer and topped it with more Basic White. I used the same stamp set and stamped my flowers using Misty Moonlight Ink and finished off the front with some Basic Rhinestones.

I didn't know how the flowers were going to look stamped in Misty Moonlight but the surprisingly look nice to me. My insert as always is very simple with just a Misty Moonlight layer with a Basic White layer over the top and Stamped in Misty Moonlight. I popped  a small bud in the bottom left-hand corner just to take the plainness out of it.

I originally I had done this card in Melon Mambo. But as I was away when that colour came up I decided to see what it would look like in the Misty Moonlight as I like it.

Week 28 - Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Mint Macaron

 

Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 28 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our colour is Mint Macaron, this colour is part of the Subtles collection and a beautiful dusty green.

I have chosen to make a card design that I haven't done in a while, it's simple and very plain but I like it. I started with a Mint Macaron card Base and added a Basic white layer before adding my DSP from the Expressions in Ink paper pack. I love this pack as they are beautiful swirls and whirls that make it so easy to use for any occasion. 

 

 I also used the Color and Contour Bundle to stamp my flowers and cut them out. I stamped the outline in Garden Green and then the fill colour was Mint Macaron on Mint Macaron card stock. I added 2 circles and Happy Birthday to finish off the front of this very plain card. As this card fold in the centre it's not wise to put to much on the pop up piece as it wont slide through the slit in the middle of the card.

 

 The back of the card has a lovely writing panel so you have a space to write your message. I have also kept this very plain as well. Sometimes it's just nice to have a plain card.  All the items used in this project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to purchase these item please give me a Call, PM or email so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 25 - Colour Creations Blog- Hop Mango Melody

 

Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 25 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. If this is your first time here, we are counting down the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order and creating a project using each weeks featured colour. This week we are showcasing Mango Melody. A beautiful rich Orangy-Yellow and one of my favourite yellows in the colour pallet. It is part of the Brights collection it pairs  well with just about any colour. I have paired mine with Old Olive and Bermuda Bay.

I have used the Love of Leaves for my card and stamped them in Mango Melody, Old Olive and Bermuda Bay and them using my Water Painter I splattered the card with more Mango Melody ink. I then layered this onto a Mango Melody layer and then onto a Basic White card base. I added my sentiment to the front I layered the sentiment with Mango Melody and Bermuda bay card to make it stand out and to finish off the front of the card I added some Holiday rhinestones.

For the inside of the card I layered my Basic white onto Mango Melody and with a piece of the stamped image from the front that I trimmed off, I added this to the white layer. I stamped my sentiment and then added this all to the inside of the card. All the items used in this weeks project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any or all of the items, or would like to know more about Stampin' Up! in general please give me a Call, email or PM so that I can help you.

Week 24 Colour Creations Blog Hop - Magenta Madness

 

Hello and welcome to week 24 of the Art with Heart Team Australia Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our colour is Magenta Madness, this is one of the 2020-2022 Incolors and a very pretty pink. My card this week is one that I designed with inspiration form a few different card concepts that I had seen. I combined them together and came up with this one. That I call a Tag Pocket Card.

I started out with a Basic White card base and added my Magenta Madness layers and the some DSP from the Impressions in Ink range (This paper is so beautiful). I then used the Timeless Tulips stamp set featured on page 38 of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. and stamped my tulips on the inside of my card, so that when the card is closed they show through to the front of the card. I then cut a tag using the Tailor Made Tags, and stamped this as well.

This tag could be used as a lovely book mark if you wished. I used the gold Shimmer ribbon for the top of the tag. I decided to make this into a get well card, and finished it off with a small gold butterfly from the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and some Magenta Madness Enamel Dots. This is such a simple card and yet in the Magenta Madness looks so bright and cheery. 

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue, if you would like the purchase any of all of these product please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 23 Colour Creations - Blog-Hop Just Jade

 

Hello Everyone and welcome to week 23 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we have Just Jade for you and I know that there will be plenty of lovely projects to get you inspired. Just Jade is one of the 2020-2022 Incolors, so this will be finishing up at the end of the current Annual Catalogue period. What a shame as I really like it. Being in the green range of colours and green being my favourite colour I'm a bit partial to it and find green very easy to work with.

So this is my Card..... I started with a Just Jade card base and added a Basic White layer. I then took another Basic white layer and using the Artistically Inked Stamp set and my Just Jade ink pad I stamped my layer as follows. I started by stamping off twice to get the lightest shade, stamping randomly over the layer and then I inked up again and stamped off once for the next shade. I then finished off by stamping at full strength. I love the way this turned out. I have Frances McFaul to thank for showing me this technique and I really love it. I then added some leave from the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle from the Mini Catalogue. They are in Shaded Spruce, Just Jade and Gold Foil. I finished off the front with a Happy Birthday and small bow.

As I started off with a larger piece of card for my stamping on the front I cut this and added it to the inside of my card. I also stamped some leaves and sentiment all in Just Jade. For a Monochromatic card I think these tones work so will together and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I think I might try the same technique with an array of colours and see what it looks like.

All the items used in this weeks project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and the Aug-Dec 2021 Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this technique or would like to purchase any or all of the products used in this projects please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you.

It took me a while to line up like I wanted it, but once it was done I was happy. So this is the Days to Remember Stamp set on page 18 of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. I used the Happy Birthday from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set on page 97 of the Same Catalogue. and my flower as from the Flowers of Friendship Bundle on page 78. 

So I started with the Highland Heather card base and added a Basic White layer and the DSP from the Hand-Penned DSP pack (I love this pack). I stamped my flowers and then punched them out, before gluing them together. I added the Basic pearls and coloured them for the centres of the flowers.

They look a little blue but I coloured them with the Dark Highland Heather Blend pen. For my insert I stamped that large flower from the same stamp set as the from flowers and coloured this in as well and then added a small sentiment of Best Wishes.

Week 21 Colour Creations Blog-Hop Gray Granite

 

Hi Everyone and Welcome to week 21 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our colour is Gray Granite, this is not a colour that I choice to use very often, but I am happy that I gave this card a go and although it's all gray and white I'm happy with the outcome. 

Using only Gray Granite and Basic White card I created this card. All my stamping was done with Gray Granite ink. I used the Basic Borders Dies to create the edge along the front of the card and stamped using the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set. I stamped the flowers from this set and then fussy cut them out. I mounted them onto the front of the card using Dimensionals and finished off with the beautiful Brushed Metallic Dots.

When the card is open to reveal the insert I have just stamped "You are the Best"from the same stamp set. along with more feathers. This will make a really love male card even though it has flowers on the front. The muted colour scheme really works well for me. All the items used in the project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and the 2021 Aug-Dec Mini Catalogue. I really hope that they will carry over these beautiful Brushed Metallic Dot as I think they make a lovely addition to my project. If you would like to purchase any or all of these product please feel free to give me a call, email or PM. If you live in Australia I would love to be your demonstrator, if you are overseas I can put you in touch with some who can help you.
