Stampin' Up - Art With Heart Colour Creation Blog Hop Week 11 - Cherry Cobbler

Hello and welcome to week 11 of colour creations with the Art with Heart team. This week we are looking at the beautiful colour "Cherry Cobbler".

I love making cards with this gorgeous colour and especially Christmas cards, I really like it as my Christmas red. I did not make a Christmas card this time however come back Thursday for the start of The Heart of Christmas where some of the Art with Heart team will be sharing in a Christmas project inspiration blog hop.

Tonight, I have made 1 card for you highlighting the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler.

I have stamped the lovely flower from Beautiful day just like I did with last weeks cards and this week coloured them using the Stampin’ Blends of Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. The Lighter coloured flower is Petal Pink.

The Colour Coach that Stampin’ Up has given us suggest Petal pink as a lovely colour to use with Cherry Cobbler so I did. I just added a couple of others as well. What colours would you add to cherry cobbler?

Once I had finished colouring my beautiful flowers I decided I wanted to use my jigsaw famelit from the Puzzle Pieces Thinlits Dies and cut them out. So, I did then I used my tombow glue and glued them back together onto a piece of whisper white before adhering it to a card base of Cherry Cobbler.

Of course, the card really wasn’t finished I had to add some ribbon and in the upcoming holiday catalogue there is this gorgeous sparkly Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon. If you are like me, you just have to get your hands on this ribbon.

The sentiment on the card is stamped in Cherry cobbler using my stamparatus in case I wanted to stamp more than once, and I did want to (just to make sure it was really dark and cherry cobblery like) using the stamp set Love you to pieces and cut out again using the single jigsaw piece from Puzzle Pieces Thinlits Dies.

On the inside of the card I have stamped the outline of a puzzle piece and a cute sentiment to finishe off the phrase of “Love you to pieces….One piece at a time”

Stampin' Up! - Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop Week 10 - Calypso Coral

Tonight, some of the ladies of the Art With Heart Team will be bringing you a blog hop featuring one of the gorgeous colours from the Stampin’ Up range. Each week the lovely CathyProctor will be hosting the blog hop and we will be going through the colours in the range in alphabetical order. This week “Calypso Coral ” is up.

Tonight I have made 2 very quick note cards that I have cased from the annual catalogue to highlight this very beautiful colour calypso coral. If you look on page 205 of your Stampin’ Up Catalogue you will find the card that I have made for you tonight.

 It is one of the “You Can Make It” projects in the catalogue.  You can order all the products you need to make this card with just one item number. How great is that?! You get the stamp set, the clear block, pack of note cards, memento pink pad, both stampin’ blends and solid bakers twine. Now you are ready to make 20 note cards and you didn’t have to worry about anything just put in 1 number. If you would like to see what the other “You Can Make It” projects are check out page 2 of the catalogue.

Here is the card in the catalogue from Stampin’ Up made with Lovely Lipstick which is just a beautiful pink colour!

So, for my cards I have used the Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends both the light and the dark and for my second card I used the same stamp set and used the gorgeous flower and birthday sentiment and added a couple of more colours. Dark Daffodil Delight and both light and dark Call me Clover.

The Stampin’ Blends are so easy to use and give such a beautiful finish on your cardstock that you will just love them.

When stamping my images onto the note cards I used my Stamparatus to make sure that everything was lined up correctly as the note cards are small and also so I could re-stamp in the exact same position if I wanted the black memento ink to be a little darker. If you don't have a stamparatus yet you have got to get one. I just love it!

Ok I may have fibbed I have just put together another very quick card so make that 3 cards for tonight. These note cards are fast and with the Stampin' Blends they are just so lovely to colour with. Make sure you come back for our team blog on August 24th which is all about colouring techniques.

Well I used the host set Artfully Folded for my cheeky quick 3rd note card and the gorgeous Garden Impressions DSP with the Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends to make this card.

This stamp set is /can be a 2 step stamp set with you having a solid image stamp in the set so you can stamp the colour of your cranes as well as the outline but tonight I decided to  use my Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends to colour them in and I quite like them. What do you think? Plus the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper is quickly becoming one of my favourites this year!
