Colour Creation Blog Hop - Week 7 - 2023-2024 - Bubble Bath

 

Welcome to Week 7 of the 2023-2024 Colour Creations Blog Hop and this week we are looking at the lovely soft pink of Bubble Bath! It is a new colour that has been added to our core colours in the colour refresh.

This week I have used the Petal Park and Timeless Arrangement stamp sets to create my card to give a delicate composition to the card.

The colours that I have used to stamp the flower and the leave are firstly Bubble Bath with the Melon Mambo over the top and then Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive again over the top in the two step stamping of the flowers and leaves.

Although the Petal Park stamp set comes with a builder punch I wanted to stamp on the card and not punch out the flowers this time.

I love the you can line up these photopolymer stamps so easily so that I could stamp the solid colour of the Bubble bath before stamping the Melon Mambo over the top to give the definition of the flowers. The same for the leaves. I then wrapped the Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon around the card and tied it in a bow.

This gorgeous ribbon comes in a pack of 3 along with Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lolly.

I am loving the sentiments on Timeless arrangements so I had to use this one and I cut it out using the Deckled Rectangles and then again in the Bubble Bath card stock using my little trick of making it a little smaller if you want a smaller border.

I popped the sentiment up on dimensionals and then the front of the card on dimensionals on a base of Bubble Bath card. If you have trouble getting your bow to stay in place you can add a little mini glue dot under it to make sure it doesn't move.

If you have any questions or would like to get hold of this gorgeous new core colour of Bubble Bath please do not hesitate to contact me.

Week 28 - Colour Creations Showcase - "Misty Moonlight"

Tonight I am bringing to you a card inspired by a Windmill! A Windmill?! Yes, a windmill. When we lived in Minneapolis, many moons ago, my Husband had to travel to The Netherlands for work and he bought back a Delft Pottery Musical Windmill as he knows I love music boxes as I am a music teacher. So today I have made a card inspired by his visit to the Netherlands in December 1995.
 

This week Misty Moonlight

I have gone for a simple stamping card today and the wonderful Stampin' Blends with the added bling of the Silver Metallic-edge ribbon.

What I have done for you today is used this gorgeous Bloom and Grow stamps set and stamped multiple time on a piece of whisper white card stock the one large image and then snuck in the edge of another to fill in one little spot that I wanted to fill in with just the rose. I stamped these in Basic Gray ink. 

To Colour the roses I have used the Misty Moonlight Dark and Light Stampin' Blends in contrast with Light Pool Party. The leaves and branches are coloured in light Smoky Slate. I wanted to keep them neutral to go along with my Delft Pottery theme.

I have stamped sentiment in Misty Moonlight and fussy cut this and popped it up on mini dimensionals  after adding the Silver Metallic-Edged ribbon and backing it with Misty Moonlight card stock and adhering it to a Thick Whisper White Card Base.

Colouring is such a relaxing thing to do and this is an easy card to make with limited supplies so you could take a few card fronts cut and ready to go with you  to colour when you go away on your summer holidays for those of us here in Australia or for your winter break in the the Northern hemisphere!

Please now head over to the blog of my friend and our host for Colour Creations Showcase, the always inspiring Cathy Proctor: Cathy's Blog

Stampin' Up! - Art With Heart Team Blog Hop July 2019 - Simple Stamping

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects featuring Simple Stamping, which means our projects feature only paper, stamps and ink. It’s a great way to create a quick and easy card for new stampers or for when you need a card at short notice. These projects highlight how Stampin’ Up! ink, paper and card stock coordinates perfectly.

If you would like a copy of the 2019 - 2020 annual catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you.

I have a few different cards to show you for our Simple Stamping Blog Hop tonight.

I have really been enjoying using the Daisy Lane stamp set so I have paired it with the Thank you sentiment from the Daisy Delight stamp set for my first set of cards.

For this first card I have done the same card but in 4 different ways.

The first way I used a post it note to help guide where I might stamp the gorgeous daisies from the Daisy Lane stamp set.

As you can see I just popped it in the middle of the card and then proceeded stamp around the edge of the Thick Whisper white card stock. I chose the Thick Whisper white card as it is a great card to start with for any beginner stamper. I used a few different colours here but you don't have to you could use just one or 2.  Everyone has post it notes hanging around at home and if you don't ask your kids or grandkids they need them for school so you can borrow some from them.

As you can see when you take off the post it note you have  this beautiful clear spot for your Thank You or Happy Birthday etc. The colours that I have used in these Daisy cards are Rococo Rose, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and Smokey Slate. What colour combo would you use?

Ok so the second way you could do this card is just to go completely free hand without the guide of the post it note.

So completely an easy thing to do I started with the Rococo Rose daisies in the corners, then the daffodil delight on the sides and the flirty flamingo daisies and filled in the spaces with the old olive ferns before adding in the sentiment in the middle of the card.

If you have some other coloured card stack you could add a little bit of extra interest you your card by stamping your sentiment on a piece of whisper whit card and then back it in one of the colours that you choose for your flowers. We love how Stampin' Up! has everything match so easily.

Now I have one more step up of this card for you to see. I have stamped the daisies on some whisper white card stock but have used the new in colour Rococo Rose as the card base to this card.

For my next card have used the gorgeous Perennial Essence DSP. Stampin' Up have such gorgeous Designer Series paper that you can use a piece of place it on the the front of your card and your decoration is almost done. Just put a sentiment on the front.

I decided to stamp the beautiful flower from first frost on some whisper white and then the large thinking of you from the Rooted in Nature.

To show off the gorgeous DSP I have cut the front of the card base a little short so that you can see the other side of it. DSP has 2 sides and it is a shame to not to show them both off.

Now for my final card tonight I have really gone all out with the gorgeous DSP and use the Pressed Petal DSP. I saw this design on Ronda Wades facebook page and just adjusted the measurement for our Australian card sizes plus changed it up a bit to fit with our theme of simple stamping of only using paper, stamps and ink,

As you can see this is a tri fold card but don't let that fool you to think that it is hard. Really simple to make. The card base is like a normal card base but just cut it in half. Then with get your gorgeous DSP and you can cut that in half to make it a 6x12 inch piece. I then trimmed that down a little bit make it have a border and a little off then end folded it into 3.

On the front I have stamped on Whisper which a little border stamp in crumb cake and then the sentiment in Rococo Rose.

Hope you enjoyed these few ideas of simple stamping if you have any questions please let me know and I will be happy to help you .

Now it is time to head over to the talented Vicki Boucher to see her creations.
