Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase : Mango Melody

 Welcome to another week of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase where this week our feature colour isManggo Melody which is from the Brights colour group. This week I have 2 cards to share with you.

For my first card I have taken my inspiration from one of the pieces of DSP from the Plaid tidings paper pack which is from the current mini catalogue, as are the Stitched Leaves dies which I have used. I just love the detail that these dies have, one is for cutting the shape and a matching one for the stitched embossing. Then I have added some bling using a few of the Artistry Blooms sequins. The sentiment is stamped on one of the Stitched Nested Labels dies.

 

For my second card I have chosen to CASE the card on page 43 of the Annual Catalogue. The DSP I have used is from the Peony Garden pack and I have embossed it using the Tasteful Textile embossing folder but it's a bit hard to see in the photo. As suggested on page 43, even though the Many Medallions die cuts a larger piece, you don't have to use it all and can trim parts of it. Sometimes we overlook just how much information the Annual catalogue gives us. There are some great tips and hints on the pages.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase Week 9 : Cherry Cobbler

Welcome back to week 9 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. This week our feature colour is Cherry Cobbler. Cherry Cobbler is a colour from the Regals colour collection and is a red type of colour. This week I have chosen to team it with Shaded Spruce in a couple of cards. To me Cherry Cobbler signifies Christmas cards so what better opportunity than to get a start om my Christmas cards for this year.

My first card features a new bundle from the current Annual catalogue, called Arrange a Wreath. This bundle is not only for Christmas cards though. It can be used for Easter, Birthday, Thanksgiving and even Valentines Day so it is extremely versatile.  To start this card I have dry embossed a piece of Crumb cake cardstock with the Pinewood planks folder to sort of signify a wooden door. I have then die cut one wreath with Whisper White and another with Shaded Spruce. Then I've added a few gems from the Wonderful gems to give some bling and to look like some berries.

It's hard to tell from this photo but the gems actually have gold specks in them. The sentiment is from a new set called Poinsettia Petals and has been stamped and mounted on panels cut from the Stitiched So Sweetly dies.

For my second card I have chosen to feature a returning stamp set and matching punch. 

The stamp set is Perfectly Plaid and is matched with the Pine tree punch. The DSP is from a new pack called Plaid Tidings that will be available from next week. I really love this sentiment and it is also from a new offering available from 1st August called Wrapped In Christmas and it is all lovely sentiments. Once again I have added in some bling to the Chrismas tree by adding Red Rhinestone basic jewels and topped the tree with a star cut from silver foil using the Stitched Stars dies.
