Christmas Friends

 

Welcome to Week 9 of The Art With Heart Heart Of Christmas blog hop. This week our host is  Sharon Davern.

For some weeks now I have had lying on my desk a piece of white cardstock embossed with the Ornate Floral Embossing folder and sponged with Evening Evergreen and a piece of Painted Christmas DSP. I had planned to use them some weeks ago but as is usually the case once I started the plan changed so they have sat unused on my desk until today! I was determined to use them for this week's card.

This week's card contains many of the elements from the Painted Christmas suite of products, one which I said some weeks ago would feature in many of this years cards. So as explained my starting point was the embossed white card and DSP. I have then added a die cut piece of the Soft Succulent Shimmer Vellum. The photo above makes it hard to see the shimmer but the one below might be better.

 

I have then added some stamped and die cut leaves and sprigs of berried that are quite similar to those in the background DSP. I have also added some of the Cherry Cobbler and Gold ribbon which is also part of the same suite of products. Then the sentiment has been stamped in Real Red and then die cut with one of the corresponding dies from the suite. Finally a couple of Gold Metallic Pearls.

As the base of the card is Evening Evergreen it needs to have lighter panel inside to write in, so I've done that in White and then added another leaf and sprig combo.

Stampin' Up! Calypso Coral Flowers

 

Welcome to week 9 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations blog hop for 2021. This week's feature colour is Calypso Coral.

I have chosen to team Calypso Coral with one of the new In Colours, Soft Succulent and I think it goes together beautifully. I decided it was time to ink up the Flowers of Friendship stamp set which comes with a matching punch.

 

 

I have coloured the flowers using  Calypso Corral and Soft Succulent blends and then die cut the Basic White cardstock using one of the Ornate Layers dies. The DSP in the background is from the You're a Peach pack and I have embossed it using the Ornate Floral 3D folder.

The sentiment is from the Celebrate with Flowers stamp set and it is  nice to have a vertical greeting for a change. This has been die cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle dies. Then for a bit of added interest I have added a bow using the Soft Succulent Open Weave ribbon and a few of the Artistry Blooms sequins.

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

Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase: Week 12

Welcome back to week 12 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. This week our feature colour is Crumb Cake. Crumb Cake is a colour from the Neutrals collection and is a really lovely beige type of colour that generally blends with a lot of softer colours. This week I have chosen to team it with two of the In Colours, one from last year, Seaside Spray, and one from this year, Misty Moonlight. 

I have chosen to use the Peaceful Moments bundle which I must confess this is the first time I have used the dies and I have to say it won't be the last. I have embossed the piece of Crumb Cake card with the Ornate Floral Embossing folder to tie in with the die cut flowers. The added leaves are also from the same die set and have been cut using Mossy Meadow and Old Olive. The ribbon has carried over from last year's annual catalogue. And for a bit of bling I've added a couple of the Elegant Faceted Gems to the flower centres.

 
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.
