Stampin' Up! Summer Splash

 

Welcome to a Week 5 of the Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. This week we end our journey through the New In Colours for 2024-26 Stampin' Up!, working in alphabetical order. This week our feature colour is  the Summer Splash. A lovely blue green that sits between Lost Lagoon and Coastal Cabana on the Stampin' Up! Colour Wheel.

 This week the focus bundle is Layering Leaves which rather than dies comes with a coordinating punch. The bundle was also in last year's Annual Catalogue but has sat in my cupboard barely touched. Along with White Summer Splash has been coordinated with a touch of Calypso Coral and Copper.

To start with sprigs of leaves from Layering Leaves were embossed using Copper and then coloured using Summer Splash and Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends. The coordinating Bough punch were used to cut them out along with a couple of smaller sprigs using Summer Splash card. 

The pots were created using the 2 3/8ths circle punch and then cut in half. One pot using In Colour Designer Series Paper in Summer Splash and the other using the Sketched Plaid stamp, white card and Summer Splash ink.

 

 

This has all been adhered to a white card base that has been embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder.

The sentiment also from Layering Leaves has been stamped in Summer Splash on white card and then die cut using one of the Stylish Shapes dies.

Finally a bow using white 1/4" Diagonal Trim ribbon from the combo pack with Petal Pink, and a couple of Copper Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems have been added. 

For the card inside I have added a few of the leftover sprigs, that have been embossed in copper and coloured.

Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented Vicki Boucher. I look forward to seeing her beautiful creation this week.

AWH Heart of Christmas Week 1

 

Welcome to another year of the Art With Heart, Heart of Christmas. This year we will be hopping weekly, so hopefully we can provide you with some festive inspiration. Our host for this year's blog hop is the lovely Sharon Davern. I have to say how lovely is our header?

For my first card of this year's blog hop I have chosen one of the new stamp sets available as an online exclusive, Be Very Merry, which at the time of this blog hop is currently unavailable as it was so popular and has sold out so here's hoping that more stock becomes available soon. Apart from the feature image and the sentiment all other elements are available from the Annual Catalogue.

The base panel of the card has been embossed using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing folder and White cardstock. I have then added a piece of Poppy Parade card that has been die cut using one of the Scallop Contour dies. On top of this I have added a piece of the Brights paper in Poppy Parade. 

I have added a band of Burlap ribbon and also some Sweet Sorbet In Colour Bakers Twine. Since there is no Bakers Twine in Poppy Parade I thought the Sweet Sorbet was close enough.

The Stained Glass Santa image has been coloured using Stampin Blends in Pecan Pie, Poppy Parade and Boho Blue. This has been punched out using the 2 3/8 circle punch. 

The sentiment is also from Be Very Merry and has been embossed in Gold and die  cut using one of the Nested Essentials dies. 

Finally I have added a couple of Gold Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots. 

I really enjoyed colouring the Stained Glass image and there are others on the same stamp set so here's hoping that more stock arrives and it is available again. 

Next on tonight's blog hop is the lovely Rachel Woollard. Click on the button below and it should take you to her blog where you can see her lovely Festive creation.
