Stampin' Up! Night Of Navy

 

This week, week 32 in the Colour Creations blog hop we continue our journey  featuring all of the Core Stampin' Up! colours, in alphabetical order. This week's feature colour  Night of Navy, is another member of the Neutrals colour group, and as the name suggests is a dark blue colour.

 I have teamed Night of Navy with the very regal gold and Very Vanilla to create a Christmas card. I just love the combination of gold and Navy. 

I started by embossing a piece of Night of Navy cardstock using the Fern 3D embossing folder as I thought it went nicely with the large pine needle die cut from the Christmas Pinecone dies. I have used some of the Gold Glimmer paper for this. To make it easier to adhere to the Night of Navy background I have used a piece of the adhesive sheet. 

I have tied a piece of the Very Vanilla dn Gold ribbon around the band of the card as well as created a bow using the same ribbon. 

The sentiment is from Christmas to Remember and has been embossed using Gold embossing powder. It has then been die cut using one of the dies from Seasonal Labels. I have also cut a second one using Night of Navy cardstock to create a second frame on each of the ends of the sentiment panel.

Finally I have added a few Gold Adhesive Backed Pearls to the background and also to the sentiment panel. Next in tonight's blog hop is our lovely host  Cathy Proctor . I look forward to seeing her lovely creation.

Heart of Christmas Week 3

 

Welcome to Week 3 of the Art With Heart Heart of Christmas. This year we will be hopping weekly until the end of November, so hopefully we can provide you with some festive inspiration. Our host for this year's blog hop is the lovely Sharon Davern. 

For my card this week I have turned to the Annual Catalogue for some inspiration whilst I await my latest order to be delivered. In particular page 44. The card uses  favourites from last years July to December mini that carried over into the Annual Catalogue, Christmas Pinecone Dies, Christmas to Remember stamp set and Seasonal Labels dies.

My starting point for this card was to die cut the Pinecones using white cardstock and then colour it using Old Olive and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends in both light and dark. I then adhered this to a piece of White Glimmer paper that has been die cut using the largest of the Deckled Rectangles dies. I did this by carefully applying liquid glue and in hindsight I should have used adhesive sheets when I first die cut the spray. I didn't think about this until I had completed all of the colouring and wasn't going to do it again! I have then adhered this panel to some thick white cardstock.

It's a bit hard to photograph the gorgeous White glimmer paper when showing the card as a whole like above so the one below shows it in closer detail.

The sentiment is from Christmas to Remember and has been stamped using Poppy Parade ink and then die cut using the corresponding die. I have then used the same die and cut a piece from Red Glimmer paper. I've then cut this in halg=f and adhered it to the back of the sentiment panel. 

I have also added some leaves and berries from the Christmas Season bundle that have been stamped in Old Olive and Poppy Parade consecutively. I have then adhered them to the back of the sentiment panel. 

For the bow I have used White Crinked Seam Binding that I have coloured using Poppy Parade Stampin Blends. 

Finally I have added some Wink Of Stella to the berries to give them a bit of glimmer and added some Red Pearls to the sentiment panel.

Holly Jolly Christmas

 

Welcome to another week of The Heart Of Christmas where members of the Art With Heart team are sharing their Christmas creations in a blog hop. This week our host is the lovely Sharon Davern.

Finally some of my new goodies from the yet to be released June to December mini catalogue arrived. There are so many beautiful new Stampin' Up! products in this new catalogue and not only for Christmas. One of the stand out choices for me was the Painted Christmas Suite which included 2 stamp sets, DSP, ribbon and some gold leaves. For me the holly, berries and pine cones all epitomize Christmas.

The colour scheme I have gone with is Evening Evergreen Pear Pizzazz and Real Red. On the Evening Evergreen base I have adhered one of the Pine needle die cuts in Pear Pizzazz and I ahve sponged the edges to add some depth. I've then cut several different pieces from the dies in the Christmas Season bundle, one from the beautiful matching DSP, one from vellum and a top one from real Red which I have heat embossed the greeting from Christmas to Remember. I just think all of the elements from the is suite just go so beautifully together which is something that Stampin' Up! do so well. I've also die cut a couple of stamped holly leaves and berries for added depth.

 

The ribbon, Cherry Cobbler and Gold metallic ribbon is also from the same suite. 

For the inside of the card I've stamped another of the greetings from the Christmas To Remember stamp set and added another couple of holly leaves and berries. 

 I'm sure that this suite of products is going to feature a lot in this year's cards.
