Stampin' Up! Blushing Bride

 

This week, week 10 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 is Blushing Bride, a member of the Subtles colour group .

 This week I was determined not to make a baby girl card as Blushing Bride is one of my "go to" colours for baby girl cards. Instead I have decided to feature one of the super cute stamp sets and matching dies that you can earn during the current Salebration period. For every $90 you spend you can choose from a selection of great freebies. In the case this week I have chosen to feature the Hippest Hippo stamp set and coordinating dies and paired Blushing Bride with Basic Gray and White.

To start with I stamped 2 of the Hippo images in Basic Gray and then watercoloured them using Basic Gray for the main part. As there is no Blushing Bride watercolour pencil, I used the "smoosh" (for want of a better term) some ink on the lid technique where you use a Blender Pen to colour the image. I then die cut these little cuties using the coordinating dies. 

These were then mounted on scalloped circle of Vellum along with a couple of cute hearts in Blushing Bride. I have then embossed 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper, one from Abigail Rose and one from Awash In Beauty, using the Splatters embossing folder from the Stripes and Splatters 3D embossing folders duo. This was then mounted on a piece of White cardstock that has been embossed using the Gingham embossing folder. The photo below shows the embossing in a bit more detail.

On the bottom of the Blushing Bride paper I have added a small border using the scalloped edge from Penned Flowers dies. 

I have added a few cute flowers also in Blushing Bride and using the Hippest Hippo dies. The cute little hearts are also from the die set. 

The sentiment is from the Hippest Hippo stamp set and has been stamped using Basic Gray and die cut with one of the dies from Beautiful Shapes. Finally I have added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels to the flower centres and randomly on the card. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Diane Furness. I look forward to seeing her lovely creation.

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! Poppy Parade

 

Welcome to week 37 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2022. This week's feature colour is Poppy Parade, which is a member of the Brights colour group.

This year I am determined to create more cards for males as I usually have a tendency to make cards for females. This week I have tried to create a card that is suitable for a male but now that I have another look, it would also be suitable for a female car lover. I have finally inked up one of the stamp sets that you can earn during Salebration, Driving By, and I do think it is rather cute.

I started by using 2 different pieces of the All Together Designer Series Paper that is available from now until 2nd May. I have embossed these using the Gingham embossing folder. I have then wrapped some of the Poppy Parade and White Fan Bakers Twine around the belly of the card a few times. I have then die cut a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock using one of the Hippo and Friends dies and then embossed it using one of the Stripes and Splatters 3D folders. The photo below shows the details of the embossing a bit better.

 Next I have stamped the sporty car image from Driving By in black and then coloured it with Poppy Parade and Smokey Slate Stampin Blends. Aren't all sports cars red? Lol!

For the stamped balloons I have used Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blends and I have also die cut some balloons in the same colour cardstock. 

The sentiment is from Many Messages and has been stamped in Versamark and embossed in white. Finally some white Bakers Twine for the balloon ties and a few Classic Matte Dots in Black, Grey and White.

As I said earlier although I created this card with a male in mind I think it is equally suitable for a car-loving female.

Next in tonight's blog hop the  lovely Sharon Davern. I look forward to seeing what beautiful creation she has to share with us tonight.

If the "next" button link is not working or you would like to see a full list of participants then you can hop over to Catherine Proctor's blog where you can see a full list of tonight's participants.

Don't forget to pop back next week when our feature colour will be Pumpkin Pie which will definitely be a challenge as it is probably one of my least used colours.

Stampin' Up! Night of Navy

 

Happy New Year and welcome to week 31 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2022. When I started participating in the weekly blog hop, I had every intention to participate every week but unfortunately due to lack of internet last week I wasn't able to share my Mossy Meadow creation.

This week's feature colour is Night Of Navy which is the darkest of the Stampin'Up! blue colours, and is actually categorized as one of the Neutrals colours.

 

For my card this week I have chosen to make a male card and chosen the colours Night of Navy, Poppy Parade, Pool Party and White.

I started this card by using a piece of the Neutrals Night of Navy DSP which has a check pattern on it. To break up some of the starkness of the Basic White cardstock I stamped using the splotches from the Colour and Contour stamp set. To decrease the boldness I stamped off. I then embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the new Embossing folders from the new January to June 2022 mini catalogue, Gingham. I think it will be a good addition for more male cards in the future. 

I then die cut multiple stars using the Stitched Stars dies and using Night of Navy, Poppy Parade and Pool Party and placed them randomly and interlocking. The sentiment is from the Art Gallery bundle and has been embossed in Whisper White and die cut using a corresponding die. I've then added a couple of Red Rhinestone jewels. 

As the inside of the card is Night Of Navy and makes it hard for any writing to be seen, I have die cat a piece of Basic White and added a couple of extra stars that I had already cut.

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