Stampin' Up! Sahara Sand

 

Welcome to week 41 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2022. This week's feature colour is Sahara Sand, which is a member of the Neutrals colour group.

This week I have chosen to create a baby girl card just so as I have one in my stash. I thought that Sahara Sand would blend nicely with Basic White and Blushing Bride. I also thought it was time to ink up the All for Baby bundle once again.

I have used Sahara Sand cardstock as the base for my card and then added a piece of Subtles DSP for the background. I have then die cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the largest of the Scalloped Contour dies. I have then stamped the clothesline using Early Espresso and then embossed the piece using one of the very cute Dotty Hearts embossing folders. 

I have die cut the baby jumpsuits from a couple of pieces of the Abstract Beauty DSPs and the pegs to hold them on the clothesline have been die cut using Gold foil. I have stamped the teddy in Sahara Sand and for the bow I have used 2 pieces of Bakers Twine in White but for one of them I have used a Blending Brush and the Blushing Bride stamp pad to create a pale pink twine.The close up below shows the gorgeous detail of the Dotty Hearts embossing folder and the coloured Twine.

The sentiment is from Celebrating You, one of the very versatile sentiment stamp sets in the current mini catalogue, and I have stamped it on Sahara Sand cardstock and embossed in white. Finally a couple of cute Blushing Bride hearts have been added. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is  our lovely host Cathy Proctor. I look forward to seeing what beautiful creation she has to share with us tonight.

Stampin' Up! Petal Pink

 

Welcome to week 35 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2022. This week's feature colour is Petal Pink, which to me is more like a soft apricot colour.

As this weeks Showcase is the week before Valentine's Day I decided to have a play with some of the new Valentine's Day products in the current mini. Being the thoughtful mother (haha) I also decided to create a card that my son could give his girlfriend. Knowing him well enough I also knew that there could be no mention of the word "love"on it!

All along I had had this vision of the hearts bursting out of the envelope so that became my starting point. The Sweet Heart dies has a cute little envelope along with lots of different heart dies. Fortunately one of those dies also cuts the smaller hearts on one of the Sweet Treats DSPs. 

The base of the card has been scored using the Simply Scored plate and tool. It's a bit hard to see in the photo above but a bit clearer on the next one. I have then embossed another piece of the Sweet Treats DSP using one of the Dotty Hearts folders and placed the paper on the same angle. 

I have then added some smaller hearts around the envelope, some small red ones to the envelope and also a Petal Pink open heart die. The sentiment is from the corresponding stamp set and is called Sweet Conversations. This has been die cut using one of the Beautiful Trees dies. Finally a couple of Polished Dots.

As the inside of the card is a vast piece of white card I decided to embellish it with some open hearts, choosing some of the colours from the Sweet Treats DSP. I have also stamped a lovely sentiment on the inside which has no mention of "Love you". Haha.

Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented Rosa Leyden. I look forward to seeing what lovely creation she has share with us tonight.
