Week 33 - Colour Creations Blog Hop - Pacific Point

 

Welcome to another week of creations with the Art With Heart Team and our Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are looking at the bright blue colour of Pacific Point!

Today I have for you a note card. OK a stack of note cards! I needed 38 of them. I have taken on a new leadership role at my church where I will be taking the craft group. It is a group of mostly retired seniors that meet weekly and they do many and varied crafts from knitting/crochet, sewing/patchwork/quilting to painting and card making. So I am excited to start and support the women in this weekly group and I wanted to send them a little card to say hello!

I have used the Handmade for you stamp set which has all  the lovely made for you, made with love and the Stampin' Up! copy write stamp that you stamp on the back of your cards when you sell your cards. I thought it was perfect for my little hello card. Plus the I found the perfect sized Hello stamp in the Beauty of Friendship stamp set.

There are quite a few elements to the card and once I had cut out all the tags in Soft Sea Foam I too the sewing form and as I just wanted to stamp the stand I covered it with the post it notes that I used last week for my masking. I used my Stamparatus as I wanted to do all 38.

Now make sure you don't get distracted by the tennis or by a family member and you take the post it note or tape or what ever you use off the stamp after you ink it up so that you don't end up having this little disaster on your hands.

Well this looks a lot better and I stamped this in Smokey Slate. By the way you can get 24 of this size tag out of 1 sheet of A4 card stock.

To create the little hello tag I used the same shape but just the small one. I first cut the back end and then to shorten the tag I lined the tag back up in the stitched holes and put it back through the Cut 'N' Emboss machine.

I was ready to put all my cards together in one go now that I had all my elements: Pacific Point base layer to add to the note card, Smokey slate layer embossed in the Timeworn Type 3D folder, stamped Soft Sea Foam Tags, Pacific Point Hello tags, fussy cut Stamped in Pacific Point sewing Forms, Crafters Gonna Craft stamped on Heart & Home DSP, strips of the Layering Designs vellum. I like to do the Gold Shimmering Ribbon and the white bakers twine as I put them together.

If you have lots of cards of one design to do at the same time get all your elements ready and then put them together once you have stamped and cut everything, it is so much easier that way. I am not sure you will have 38 of the one design but maybe 10.

These were fun little note cards to put together and to finish them off I added some classic matte dots.

Week 32 - Colour Creation Blog Hop - Old Olive

 

 Hello and welcome to our Colour creation blog hop highlighting Old Olive! I have used the gorgeous new Flowing Flowers from the new Mini Catalogue for my card. 

I have paired old olive today with crushed curry. To create the background I cut a piece of Basic White card stock and with a couple of post it notes to create a strip down the middle of the card.

I am so loving using the blending brushes so I took them out and blended some Crushed curry and Old Olive.

Once I had enough colour I added it to the Old Olive card base and then  stamped the flowers from the Flowing Flowers stamp set. I Used the Stamparatus and stamped the large flower once with the Crushed curry ink pad. I then inked up the smaller flower with leaves with the Stampin' Write markers Old Olive and Crushed Curry, I stamped and inked multiple times to get a darker colour so that you you have different shades of Crushed curry on the card from the blended background to the front flower!

I fussy cut the flowers out and for the little splash of gold I used the shimmery gold Ribbon that I have pulled apart to give that wispy look behind the flowers which I have popped up on dimensionals. I just love this sentiment that comes with this stamp set so I thought I would stamp it in Smokey Slate. In the new mini there are these gorgeous brushed brass butterflies and I love butterflies so I had to add them to my card.

I hope you enjoyed the card and the little masking technique. Now is the time to head to the next person which is my lovely friend Tina Gillespie, I always get excited to see what she has for us each week.

Week 31 - Colour Creations Blog Hop - Night of Navy

 

Hello and welcome to week 31 of the Art with Heart team's Colour Creations Blog hop. This week we are looking at Night of Navy.

For you today I have combined 2 stamp sets. One I bought specifically for my husband, To The Moon. I just had to get it when I saw it in the Annual Catalogue but it has taken me until now to ink and then the gorgeous In The Moment  from the new Jan-June Mini!

I have created an easel card with our colour that we have in the spotlight today, Night of Navy. I have also a layer of Night of Navy behind the focal image that I have embossed with the Bark 3D embossing folder.

To create the scene I stamped the image from the In the Moment stamp set on the lower edge of the piece of Basic White and the moon on the top edge I then used my blending brushes and with the Daffodil delight from the moon to the image. When I had laid down enough moonlight I took out the Night of Navy and blended that over the rest of the card and image to create the night sky.

I stamped out the moon in Smokey Slate and cut it out with the Layering Circle dies and adhered it over the moon in the corner and cut the edges off. I also stamped another image from In The Moment in Memento Ink and cut it out with paper snips and coloured that in with the Stampin Blends. I also highlighted the window with the stampin' chalk marker.

To finish of the card I have stamped the sentiment from the In The Moment stamp set and with the Gold Shimmer Ribbon and pulled it apart to go underneath. Now the bling just to sparkle is the new iridescent  rhinestone basic jewels from the Jan-June Mini!

Contact me any time if you have questions on how to make this card or if you would like to get the new Jan-June Mini and Sale-A-Bration Brochure into you hands.
