Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase : Merry Merlot

 

Welcome to another week of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase where this week our feature colour is Merry Merlot which strangely enough is from the Neutrals colour group. I automatically thought of Christmas cards when I started thinking about this weeks cards, which is probably a good thing as I still need to make a few more for this year. This week I have 2 cards to share with you.

 For my first card I chosen to CASE the card on page 40 of the August to December mini. I have teamed the Merry Merlot with Mossy Meadow and Sahara Sand. I had a lot of fun using my Stamparatus to create this card and ended up with very inky fingers, but I could not have done it without the Stamparatus. The white blossom on the wreath has been heat embossed to add some texture and I've added a couple of Beaded Pearls for some enhancement. I think they tie in beautifully don't you?

For my second card I have chosen to use a technique that seems to be quite popular at the moment and one that I have been wanting to give a go.

It's actually really quite simple once you find out how it is done. Just using 3 circle dies which increase in size. All in all it's a quick effective card to put together when time is short. Once again I have teamed Merry Merlot with Mossy Meadow and Sahara Sand.

Art With Heart Heart of Christmas July 2020

Welcome to the 2020 Art With Heart Heart of Christmas where once a month team members will be participating in a blog hop featuring Christmas. Last year I was unable to participate due to travel commitments so by the time December came I had hardly made any Christmas cards so this year I intend to be better prepared and what better way than to be part of this. 

For the first month I have chosen to feature a brand new bundle from the upcoming August to December mini catalogue which features predominantly lots of beautiful Christmas goodies. For my card I have chosen the Ornamental Envelopes Bundle which features some lovely dies to decorate your envelopes with as well as a lovely bauble stamp and die set.

I have stamped the bauble image in Mossy Meadow firstly and then again with Real Red, which I have die cut and then mixed and matched the two. The lovely DSP is also a new one that is coming in the new mini, called Heartwarming Hugs. I have also decorated the envelope with the same DSP and a couple of the dies from the same bundle. I'm not sure if you can see it in the photo but I have also added a peeper of Red foil along the sides as well as used it across the top using one of the dies from the Ornate Border set. Finally a couple of the also new Wonderful Gems for a bit of bling!

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.
