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.

AWHT Creative Showcase April 2020 - Mother's Day Theme

Welcome to the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team Monthly Creative Showcase. The theme for this month’s showcase is Mother’s Day. Under the current conditions Mother’s Day this year is going to be completely different to any other Mother’s Day celebrations.

Mother's Day will definitely be strange this year for many but as for many years we don't live near my Mum so we will be ringing in and maybe even skyping. We do do that sometimes as well. I am sure as my parents are in lock down they are really wanting out.

The Art With Heart Team are hoping to share a little Mother’s Day love and inspiration with you tonight.

Tonight I have a fancy fold for you using the Good Morning Magnolia set and Magnolia Memory Dies. I have also used the Strong and Beautiful stamp set for the sentiment as I love the font of the Happy Mother's Day.

To make this card I used my favourite colour Blackberry Bliss and folded it like a normal card base in half and then folded the front back in half. There you have a very simple Z-Fold Card. Using the gorgeous Magnolia Lane DSP on the folded back front in a 4.9 x 14.5 cm strip.

To add a beautiful layer of softness vellum under the front 9x13 cm layer and adhere that to the front just on the side. Now as you are going to cover it with the next layer you can use your snail as you won't need to worry about your adhesive showing through the vellum as you are covering it with your stamped image layer.

I have stamped Happy Mother's day in Blackberry Bliss on Whisper White and that piece is 7.7 x 11.5 cm, and I have backed this with Mossy Meadow 8 x cm. before adhering this to the front side over the vellum I have wrapped around some polka dot tulle ribbon. The beautiful blackberry Magnolia is stamped in black memento ink cut out with the magnolia memory dies and coloured with the stampin' blends. Both the light and dark black berry bliss were used for the flower and dark old olive for the leaves. I popped them it up on some dimensionals.

I really love the dark purple magnolias they are my favourite every year when they are in bloom.

The next demonstrator to share her Mother’s Day project is the amazingly talented Catherine Proctor I always love see what projects she has for us.

AWHT Creative Show Case - March 2020 - Monochromatic Cards

This month the Art With Heart Team are featuring Monochromatic cards, that is cards that only use different shades of the same colour. This is a great opportunity for us to demonstrate the wonderful range of Stampin’ Up! colours across our inks, papers and embellishments that can be combined to produce the amazing monochromatic samples we have to share with you.

I have just one card for you tonight.n I had this running around in my head for a few days and finally got a chance to sit and put it all together.

I have used the First Frost stamp set which I just love not only for Christmas but for everyday cards. I thought the gorgeous Real Red would be the perfect colour to brighten everyone's spirits. So I stamped the small flower 3 times and as it is a distinctive stamp you get the gorgeous shades and details of the flower. I have used the dies that go with the stamp set Frosted Bouquet to cut out the flowers and to also cut out in white some branch sprigs and some leaves in vellum.

I have layered these gorgeous flowers over the basket weave 3D embossing folder and the gorgeous From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper from the mini catalogue. It is just gorgeous! I cut the circle out with the Layering circle dies before putting the whisper white card stock through the embossing machine with the basket weave 3D folder.

I think at this time in the world sending a friend a card is just a wonderful thing to do to stay connected so that is why I used the Well Written framelits to add the word Friend and the little bird as well comes with those framelits. 

I hope you like this card and will try it. I think I will make a few more and send them out to some of my friends.

The next demonstrator to share her monochromatic project is the amazingly talented Vicki Boucher
