Stampin' Up! Early Espresso

 

This week, week 18 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  Early Espresso, is a member of the Neutrals colour group and is a very dark brown colour. 

This week I have decided to go back to one of my most favourite Stampin' Up! bundles, Natures Harvest as I thought it was a perfect way to feature Early Espresso. I have however teamed it with a great sentiment stamp set, Very Best Occasions. 

To start this card I stamped the Gerbera image using Memento Black and then coloured it using Petal Pink and Soft Succulent Stampin Blends. I then die cut this using the corresponding die. I have then mounted this using Dimensionals on a piece of Basic White cardstock and then onto a Piece of Early Espresso cardstock. Both of these have been die cut using the Deckled Rectangles dies. 

I have then mounted this on a piece of the Abigail Rose paper that I have stamped off the "splatter"stamp from Quiet Meadow using Early Espresso. I have also sponged around the edges of this paper using the same inkpad. I have then embossed this piece of paper using the Timeworn Type embossing folder to give it some texture. You can see a close up here of that. 

 

I have then mounted all of this onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock and then onto Basic White. 

The sentiment is from Very Best Occasions and has been stamped in Early Espresso and die cut using one of the Stylish Shapes dies. I have wound some Linen Thread around the body of then card under the sentiment. Finally I have added some of the beautiful Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented    Dianne Furniss   I look forward to seeing her lovely creation.

Stampin' Up! Old Olive

 

Welcome to week 32 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2022. This week's feature colour is Old Olive which as the name suggests is an olive green colour.

 For my card this week I have gone back to one of my favourite bundles from the July to December mini catalogue that has actually carried over, Nature's Harvest, and the sentiment is from one of the current Salebration stamp sets that you can earn if you spend $180.

 

I started by stamping the image in Black Memento and then using Old Olive, Calypso Coral and Petal Pink Stampin Blends. I have then die cut the image using the corresponding die. I then mounted this on a panel of Basic White that I had stamped off twice using Petal Pink and smudgy background stamp from the same set. I then die cut it using one of the frames from the Scalloped Contours dies and then embossed it using the Timeworn Type folder, another item that has carried over from the previous mini. 

I have then mounted this panel on another panel of Beauty of the Earth DSP that has been die cut with another of the Scalloped Contours dies. This has then been mounted of Basic White cardstock. I have then added a bow using White and Crumb Cake Bakers Twine from the Essentials Pack. 

The sentiment as I mentioned is from the Special Moments stamp set, from the Salebration catalogue which you can earn for free when you spend $180. I have stamped it in old Olive and then dies cut is with one of the Tasteful Labels dies. 

Finally I have added a few Brushed Metallic Dots , another item that has carried over. 

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

Stampin' Up! Cinnamon Cider Reminder

 As I mentioned in my previous post for the Art With Colour Creations Showcase Blog Hop, I would have another Cinnamon Cider card to share with you and this is the other one I created.

 

 For this card I have once again used the Nature's Harvest bundle and the Harvest Meadow DSP. The reeds have been die cut using Cinnamon Cider and Soft Succulent and then mounted on Basic White which has also been framed using the Cork Specialty Paper that has been cut using Stitched Rectangle dies.. This has all been mounted on a piece of DSP from the Harvest Meadow DSP that features Soft Succulent.. Then a couple of Brushed Metallic dots for interest.

As always if you would like to know more about anything Stampin Up!, would like me to pop a brand new catalogue in the mail to you, or would like to order any of the beautiful products then please contact me via the Facebook tab up the top.

Enjoy your week

Stampin' Up! Cinnamon Cider Healing Thoughts

 

Welcome to week 11 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2021. This week's feature colour is Cinnamon Cider. Cinnamon Cider is one of the 2020-21 In Colours, a nice tan colour.

 

For this week's card I have decided to "break open" one of the new bundles from the July to December mini which is NOT a Christmas one, Nature's Harvest. As Stampin' Up! is based in America they are about to go into Fall(Autumn) thus the reason for these type of products being in this mini. 

For the base of the card I have used Cinnamon Cider cardstock and then added a piece of Harvest Meadow DSP which I have embossed using the Tasteful Textile folder, but it's a bit hard to see as the DSP has fine script on it. I have then added a piece of Cork Specialty paper and on top of that a tag die cut from Tailor Made Tags. Then finally the bloom which is from the Natures Harvest stamp set and has a coordinating die. I have coloured it using Stampin' Blends in Cinnamon Cider, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent.

The sentiment has been stamped in Cinnamon Cider and I think it is a really lovely sentiment. I also really love the Cork Specialty paper as it bring a lovely texture to creations.

Next in the blog hop tonight is Rosa Leyden .  If you click on the button below it will take you to her blog where you can see her latest lovely creation.

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

Later this week I will have another card to share with you using the same bundle so make sure you pop back for another look.

Remember to come back again next week when our feature colour will be Coastal Cabana, one of the Brights colours..
