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.

Now on to my Card

I have brought a card to you today using a couple of the the products from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.  The Paper Blooms DSP and A Touch of Ink Stamp set. 

Both of these products are free with a qualifying purchase from the Annual Catalogue or the new January - June Mini catalogue.

You will love the  Mini and Saleabration catalogues so if you want one in your hands asks me how to get one.

Now back to the card.

I decided I wanted to show off the gorgeous DSP so I have cut one of the beautiful papers and used as the background and layered that onto the Night of Navy Card base. I took all the colour choices from the Paper Blooms Designer series paper, Stampin' Up is great that way. They have done all the colour coordinating for you so you don't have to work out what colours go with which colours.  So then it was just a matter of getting those colours and going for it.  

As you can see from this photo there are a few layers but but I only used 2 different pieces of DSP. Firstly I have a small circle of Rococo Rose card stock that I have embossed in the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder and that was adhered first. Then the Night of Navy square which I used the layered square dies was adhered before I adhered the strip of darker Paper Blooms DSP.  Leafy looking DSP is the back of the Darker Night of Navy DSP and was just the look I was going for and I actually chose that piece for  that layer and it went down next. Before Adhering the Whisper white square that was cut out with the layering square dies I stamped the Hello Friend from the A Touch of Ink stamp set. Now all your layers are complete.

I fussy cut out the flower from the Night of Navy piece of Paper Blooms DSP so that my Butterfly that I first stamped in Seaside Spray and then in Night of Navy before fussy cutting would have somewhere to land. I popped him up on some dimensionals. To finish off my card you have to have a little bling so I coloured some basic pearls with my dark Night of Navy Stampin' Blends. I do like blue butterflies as you might be able to tell so I think this little guy is going to get a lot of use.

If you will now please head over to the blog of my friend and the host of the our Colour Creations Showcase Cathy Proctor to see who else is creating along with Night of Navy this week: Cathy's Blog

Stampin' Up! - Colour Creations Blog Hop - Night Of Navy

Night of Navy is a gorgeous colour and this week’s colour creations challenge.

Tonight, I have made a card and a little chocolate gift purse. I need to make an invitation for my first church Girlfriend’s night back that I run once a month. We are having a fundraising dinner to raise money to empower, educate and help fund start up businesses for women in Africa. We will be doing little fundraisers throughout the year. We meet on the 2^nd Thursday of the month and for February it will be Valentines day so a love dinner will be a great way to start!

For my card I have used the Butterfly Gala stamp set which is in the new Occasions catalogue. I just love Butterflies and I the sentiment I think is just great for an invitation. Who wouldn’t feel welcome when they see this sentiment… “The food things in life are better with you” Then I will put the invitation on the inside of the card.

So what did I use to decorate the card front. I first put the Night of Navy card stock through the big shot with the Subtle TIEF just to give the card base a little bit of texture.  The blue butterflies are part of the Botanical Butterfly Designer series paper that is found in the Sale- A bration catalogue and I have used the dark and light Night of Navy Blends to colour them in. You can get this gorgeous paper for free when you spend $90 on product. I think I might have to spend some more to get another lot.

I stamped the sentiment on whisper white card stock in Night of navy ink and cut it out with the stitched shape framelits and popped it up on some dimensionals over the burlap ribbon. The little butterfly is stamped in memento and then I have used so saffron, and powder pink for the colours. With the stamp set it is so easy to colour your butterflies as they give you the solid stamps to do so if you would like. Plus, a little bling and your card is done! Of course, you can colour your butterflies any complimentary colour you like.

For our little chocolate treat bags, I found the design on Dawn Stamping thoughts and she used a 6x6 inch piece of designer series paper. I have used the Garden Impressions DSP which has Night of Navy as one of its colours and they are already in 6x6. A little bit of folding, a couple of pieces of night of navy card stock and it is so cute. I cut out the clasp to my bag with the pretty label punch and used the Needlepoint elements framelits dies to get the beautiful stitched edge.  It fits perfectly inside the punch.

I attached the clasp to the back of the bag with tear and tap and then to hold everything in place I used little Velcro dots. I put the chocolates in first to make sure I had the correct position before closing the clasp down and adhering it all in place.

The ribbon is so much fun and it is part of the Classic Garage suite in the Occasions Catalogue and could possibly be classed as a male oriented suite but I just love the black and silver striped ribbon for all things and my daughter would love this as she isn’t a very pink and girly girl, so these colours would be perfect for her!

As I am actually doing the little bags for ladies other than my daughter, I thought I had better put a pink butterfly on the front of the clasp so you would know which side you needed to open to get to your chocolates. You can put what ever chocolates you like in these, I have put in some favourites but 2 ferero rochers fit in them as well

To cut out the butterflies in both projects I have used the new butterfly duet punch found in the new Occasions catalogue!

As always if you would like any details on how to make these items or would like to get your hands on the products and the new Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues don’t hesitate to contact me.
