For week 3 we are looking at the new In Color Starry Sky. It is a lovely blue.

I think it will get used quite a lot in the next 2 years with Night of Navy and Pacific point as it's companions. I say this as I have chosen to use the colour palette of the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper for my card tonight. It can be found on page 90-91 and 134 of the New 2022-23 Annual Catalogue.

I then wanted to work out what green would go with Starry Sky and again Stampin' Up! has done all the work for me with the colour chart.

Now all I had to do was stamp.

I needed to do a male birthday card and when I saw these gorgeous papers I thought this was the one out of it that would work. It was kind of paint splattered so I then thought I would take out the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder and put the DSP through the Cut & Emboss machine and it come out great.

Even though the pallet of the DSP says Gray Granite I picked up Sahara Sand to use and I like it as well with these colours so that was a happy accident. How good does the Old Olive and Starry Sky look stamped on Sahara Sand! The DSP looks fabulous embossed in the Painted Texture makes it really look like paint!

I told my daughter I was doing a male birthday card and she said she liked it so it could be an anyone birthday card. Now those leaves I stamped them from the Sending Smiles stamp set and used the Sending Dies to cut them out. I Stamped the Happy Birthday from the Peaceful Moments in Starry Sky ink and cut it out with the layering circle dies and a layer of Starry Sky scalloped circle behind it. To add a little bling because guys can have bling too I added the Matt In Color decorative dots and the In Color Metallic Woven Ribbon both in Starry Sky. All of this is layered on a base of Starry Sky Card Base.

Week 6 - AWH Colour Creations Showcase - "Bumblebee"

Well ever since I knew this was one of the colours that Stampin' Up! had in the new Annual Catalogue I have been singing a vocal exercise I used to do when I was at university. For the musicians out there we would sing the word Bumblebee in arpeggios. So I have not been able to stop and this week it has been constant. 😂😂

This week Bumblebee

So with all that singing I have only 1 card for you. No I just had a few appointments this week so 1 card it is. I thought a few people might use the very gorgeous Celebrate Sunflowers on page 13 which is divine but I thought I would bring you something that is different but easy to make and quick.

Rhapsody in craft, Peaceful Moments, Bumblebee, Medium daisy punch, Friendship card, Stampin' Up! 2020-21 Catalogue, Colour Creations Showcase

I love this yellow and thought I would let it shine all on its own.

I started with punching the medium Daisies in the Bumblebee card stock 6 times for 3 flowers and adhering them together with a mini dimensional to give a little height to the flower. Every flower needs a little bling so the In Color enamel Dots are perfect for the centres of each flower.

For the card base I have use the Thick Whisper white and stamped the sentiment in Bumblebee ink. I just love the sentiments that came with the Poppies Bundle and was so happy that they carried over into the new annual catalogue. The Peaceful Moments Stamp set have wonderful sentiments that can be used for every occasion.

Once I had stamped the sentiment on the bottom of the card and folded it in half I measure how much Bumblebee card stock and whisper white card stock I needed for the panel to fit in my 3 daisies and adhered that using the new Stampin' seal.

Before adhering the daisies with another mini dimensional I twisted some gold trim from the Forever Greenery Trim combo pack around the In Color Bumblebee ribbon and used a mini glue dot to make it snake around the daises so it would sit up in places it wasn't stuck down. You could do this with any number of colours of your choice. Quick simple stamping with or without the ribbon and trim. I'm sure any friend would love to get a card like this from you.

The products I used are at the end of this post.

Please now head over to my dear friend Cathy Proctor's blog to see more inspiration about this weeks colour Bumblebee from the team. This week: Bumblebee

AWHT Creative Showcase May 2020 - Sketch Challenge

Welcome to the Monthly Art With Heart Creative Showcase. This month the Art With Heart Team have amazing projects to share with you that have been inspired by the card sketch below. The sketch is to be used as a starting point and has been interpreted in many creative ways by the Art With Heart Team.

I have used the sketch really quite literally, I think my brain is a little bit fried. How are you all going in this time?

The gorgeous Peaceful Moments Bundle is what I decided to use for my card project tonight! It is carrying over to the Annual catalogue but it will not be a bundle and get the 10% discount so if you love it get it now before June 2. From June 3 you will be able to get them but you will have to get them separately.

So for this card I used the Peaceful Moments stamp set and the Poppy Moments Dies and if you look very closely at the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper I have used a new embossing folder from the upcoming Annual Catalogue and it is called Tasteful Textiles. I love it and you will too. Claire Daly gave me the idea to put the Designer Series paper through this embossing folder with a card that she did recently and I think you will love doing it too!

I have used the colours of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper to create my poppy: Rich Razzleberry, Flirty Flamingo, Crushed Curry and Mossy Meadow for the leaves all set on a Rich Razzleberry card base. For the banner I thought I would do something a little bit different and stamp the sentiment all the way down in Basic grey ink!

The next demonstrator to share her interpretation of the sketch is the fabulous Vicki Boucher and I always love seeing her creations every creative showcase.
