Week 24 - Colour Creations Showcase - Mango Melody

Well what a weekend I have just had and you could have it too if you join my team and become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. We had so much fun being the first to see the new Jan-Jun Mini and seeing all the presentations of new product, learning new things and celebrating everyone's successes. Plus we had Pat Benatar and her husband open the weekend singing! Oh My Goodness! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

So I put her up on my TV and sang away. Why would you want to miss out on something like this? You Wouldn't! Then there is all the friendship and the fun from stamping and learning and as a by product you get cards and memory keeping. So why wouldn't you want to join! There are more benefits too but this is just the start! So if you want to know more just contact me and we can have a chat, also check out my joining page button at the top of the blog.

Now for this week we have Mango Melody

I was inspired by the new Dandy Garden suite that we used on our weekend and I have used today the Dandelion Wishes stamp set and the Dandelion 3D Embossing folder. I didn't realise before setting out to make my project but I don't have Mango Melody card stock so I had to work out a way to show you this colour.

So to do that I had to combine it with some other colours.

Rhapsody in Craft, Mango Melody, Blackberry Bliss, Smoky slate, Whisper White, Stampin' Up!

Of course I had to choose my absolute favourite Blackberry Bliss to go with the Mango Melody.

Rhapsody in Craft, Mango Melody, Dandelion Wishes, Dandelion 3D Embossing Folder, Fancy Fold, Artistry Blooms DSP, Well Written Dies, Layering Oval Dies, #colourcreationsshowcase, #loveitchopit, Stampin' Up!, Art with Heart

I know, what do you do when all you have is the ink pad of Mango Melody? Well, you find the gorgeous Artistry Bloom DSP as that has the most beautiful paper with Mango Melody in it. I then cut the paper down to the size of a card front making sure I had lots of Mango Melody in the piece I chose and embossed it with the Dandelion 3D embossing folder.

I stamped the dandelions in Mango Melody on Whisper White and cut them out using the Layering Oval Dies and then layered that with Blackberry Bliss as the inside of the card is the Smoky Slate so that you can write your message to your friend or family member. I purposely adhered the Oval quite low so that you could still see the embossed dandelion on the Artistry Blooms DSP.

From the little window I have created I die cut the words "Miss You" and the butterfly. I used the Well Written Dies. Before putting them through my Stampin' Cut 'N' Emboss machine I used the adhesive sheets. So good for things like words and tiny butterflies you don't have to mess with glue!

To finish off you have to have some bling and the frosted and clear epoxy droplets were perfect.

I thought the words "Miss You" went perfect with the dandelion. As a child you would wait for them to go to seed and then blow on them and make wishes. This card is all about missing friends and family and wishing they were here!

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my project today or if you would like to know more about joining my team.

Week 11 - AWH Colour Creations Showcase - "Coastal Cabana"

I am really loving doing our Colour Creations Showcases every week and I must admit that at times I think of only the colour and nothing else. This week I have really only used the colour and white. Hey that is ok sometime monochromatic cards can be very striking!

This week Coastal Cabana!

For my first card I started with the floral essence stamp set and then liked it so much I wanted to see what other stamp I had that I could make it and I thought the butterflies in Butterfly Gala would look great!

I got the inspiration from a card that I saw made by Michelle Lupton and I thought I would use Stampin' Up! Products to do a bit different version.

I started with the Thick Whisper white card stock and heat embossed with white flowers or butterflies onto the card. Once the card had cooled I got out the sponge brayer and the Coastal Cabana ink and coloured a band over the embossed flowers.

To create the top layer I used the Peony Dies and cut diagonally on a piece of Whisper white card stock that fit exactly to the same size of the front of the card. You could just go horizontally if you like. I wanted to add just a little bit more interest. I then decided how much of the inked flowers or butterflies I wanted showing and adheres the two parts of the card down. The trimmed the excess to fit the card.

Using the Well Written dies I cut out "Miss You Friend" as like many of you I miss being with my friends and seeing them in person. And all friends need some bling so I added some basic jewel rhinestones.

For my next next card I CASED the Annual Catalogue on page 103. Go check it out.

I really loved the effect of the Dandelion 3D embossing folder on the Vellum cardstock so I had to try it for myself and so I thought this was the perfect Colour Creations Show Case Week to try it and I didn't want to wait until Seaside Spray week which is the colour in the example in the catalogue.

I have paired it with the Lovely you bundle and I just love the sentiment. I have stamped it in Coastal Cabana and cut it out with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch on the widest slot in the punch. I have popped it up on Dimensionals over the the Braided Linen Trim and added a little bow of Gold cord from the Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo Pack from the August -December Mini.

Doesn't this Dandelion embossed on the Vellum make you think of springtime as a child and blowing on them to see how many time you had to blow for them all to blow away and to chase them. Ah Spring is coming. It really is so effective on the vellum.

Anyway I hope you like the ideas of my card to night and with the first 2 you could blend some colours together and do different colours and have a whole rainbow of colours. Speaking of which come back tomorrow for our Monthly Art With Heart Creative Showcase as we look at the theme Rainbow.
