Stampin' Up! Sweet Sorbet

 

Welcome to Week 4 of the new Colour Creations Blog Hop for 2022-2023. This week we are featuring another of the new In Colours and this time it is Sweet Sorbet which is a lovely pinky red colour that I can see being used a lot for Christmas cards this year.

 For my card this week I have teamed Sweet Sorbet with Old Olive, White and a hint of Black and Daffodil Delight. I have also enjoyed playing with some more of the new products from the latest Annual Catalogue.

My starting point for this weeks card was to cut a piece of the Perfectly Pencilled DSP to fit the largest of the Fabulous Frames dies and then to colour it using Sweet Sorbet, Old Olive and a hint of Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends.  The frame has been die cut using Old Olive cardstock. I have then mounted this on a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock that has been embossed using one of the Stripes and Splatters 3D embossing folders. This has then all been mounted on Thick Basic White cardstock. 

I have then die cut the word "Sending" using the die from the Sending Smiles bundle. I have first cut the outline using Black cardstock and then another using White. I have offset the White to the Black to create a shadow like appearance. I have then adhered a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock to an Adhesive Sheet and then die cut it using the finer lettering die. By using the Adhesive Sheets it makes it so much easier to stick the lettering to the outline. Below is a close up to show the shadow effect.

I have then stamped the sentiment in Versamark and embossed it using White embossing powder and then die cut it using another of the frame dies from the Sending Smiles bundle. Finally a double bow using the Sweet Sorbet In Colour twine and a couple of Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots for a bit of bling. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Michele Taylor. I am sure as always she will create a beautiful card.

Stampin' Up! Starry Sky

 

Welcome to Week 3 of the new Colour Creations Blog Hop for 2022-2023. This week we are featuring another of the new In Colours and this time it is Starry Sky which is a vibrant royal blue colour. 

For this week's blog hop I was determined to create a male card as I have a distinct lack of male cards in my stash and there are a couple of male birthday's coming up. I have chosen to pair Starry Sky with Sahara Sand and Cajun Craze.

To start with I embossed a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock using the Gingham embossing folder.Below is a close up to see the effect.

 

 I then die cut some hexagons using the Beautiful Shapes dies in each of the 3 coloured cardstocks and a couple of pieces of the He's the Man DSP. I have also die cut some more of the Starry Sky cardstock using one of the All That Dies. The stars are actually cut outs from one of the He's the Man Specialty Papers. They come in Cajun Craze but they are also white on the reverse so I coloured the back of one of them using a Starry Sky Stampin' Blend. The sentiment is from the Framed Occasions stamp set and has been stamped in Starry Sky. Finally a bow using the Denim ribbon from the Current Mini catalogue which retires at the end of next month. Finally I've added a couple of the In Colour Matte Decorative Dots. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Kate Morgan. I am sure as always she will create a beautiful card.

Stampin' Up! Parakeet Party

 

Welcome to Week 2 of the new Colour Creations Blog Hop for 2022-2023. This week we are featuring another of the new In Colours and this time it is Parakeet Party which is a vibrant lime green colour. 

 

I have chosen to team up Parakeet Party with a couple of purples, namely Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather and have also decided to show some love to the Art Gallery bundle once again. 

I started by stamping one of the flower images using Highland Heather and then stamped the contrast image using Gorgeous Grape. I then die cut this using the corresponding die. The stem and leaf image has been stamped using Parakeet Party and also die cut with the corresponding die. These die cuts have then been propped on a piece of Basic White cardstock that has been embossed using the Painted Texture folder. For a bit of contrast I have also added a Wink of Stella for a highlight on the petals which you can see a bit better in the photo below.

The Basic White panel has also been mounted on a piece of the new In Colour Designer Series Paper. Finally I have added a small bow that has been tied using the new In Colour Bakers Twine and I have added a couple of new In Colour Matt Decorative Dots. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Ros Davidson. I am sure as always she will create a beautiful card.

Stampin' Up! Orchid Oasis

 

Welcome to a new round of The Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop for the 2022-2023 Stampin' Up! year. With a new Stampin' Up! catalogue comes a new set of In Colours and this year's colours are just beautiful. We are starting this year's round featuring the new In Colours, and this week's colour is the beautiful Orchid Oasis, which is a lovely purple colour. 

For my card this week I have teamed Orchid Oasis with Granny Apple Green and White to create a Mother's Day card. Mother's Day here in Australia is this weekend. I have also chosen to use one of the gorgeous new bundles from the new Annual Catalogue, Wisteria Wishes.

 It is a bit hard to tell from this photo but my starting point for my card was a piece of the reverse side of one of the pieces from the new Tea Boutique paper pack. I have then topped this with a piece of Basic White cardstock that has been embossed using the Timeworn Type embossing folder. Here is a close up of that. The reason I like it is that gives just a little bit of definition to the white cardstock without being overpowering.

 Then on to this I have mounted the flower heads, which look a little bit like Hollyhocks, and the flower stems with the leaves. These have been stamped using Orchid Oasis and Highland Heather for the flowers and Granny Apple Green for the leaves.

The sentiment has been stamped in Orchid Oasis and is from the Celebrating You stamp set. This has then been die cut using one of the dies from the new Stylish Shapes die set. I have also coloured some White Crinkled Seam Binding using the Orchid Oasis Stampin Blends. Finally a few Iridescent Rhinestones for some bling.

I really enjoyed creating this card and having a play with some of the gorgeous new products now available to purchases from the new Annual catalogue. As I lost my dear mother just over a year ago this card is currently winging it's way to my lovely Mother In Law in Queensland. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is my dear friend and upline Christine Blain. I am sure as always she will create a beautiful card.
