Colour Creations Blog Hop week 13 - Blackberry Bliss Traveling Along

 


Hello  stampers, it's time for another Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the beautiful Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week we're up to Blackberry Bliss. Blackberry Bliss is one of our returning favourite colours that is in our Neutrals colour family. It's probably the least neutral of the Neutrals Colour family but it does co ordinate beautifully with many other Stampin' Up! colours.
For tonight's card I was very excited to have a play with one of the newest Online Exclusive products, the Trucking Along stamp set. 
For this card I stamped the truck in Memento Black Ink and coloured with  Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends Markers. The flowers are Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Blends Markers and the sides of the truck are Pecan Pie Blends Markers.


The circle is cut from the largest Stylish Shapes Dies. The top half was shaded with a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink and the bottom half was blended with Old Olive Ink and a Blending Brush.


The trees are stamped in Memento Black Ink and Old Olive Ink. The trunks were coloured with a Pecan Pie Marker.


The background was coloured with a Foursquare Decorative Mask and a Blending Brush. Lots of Blending Brushes were used for this card. I'm loving this set, i think it will be great for making cards for various themes sending wishes, birthdays and Christmas.


Now it's time to hop over and see what my talented team member Sharon Davern has to share with us.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 12 - Berry Burst Masterfully Made

 


Hi stampers, it's Wednesday so time for another Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the beautiful Stampin' Up! colours. This week we are featuring Berry Burst, which is a previous In Colour that has returned to the range in the Brights Colour Family. 

The card I have to share with you is the one I made for my daughter for her birthday. She fell in love with the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper(DSP) when it arrived so I wanted to use it for her card.


I chose the sheet with the all over pattern and cut a piece 10 cm by 20cm, to make a slim line card. The Happy Birthday from the Wanted To Say Dies was cut from Pretty Peacock for the base and Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper for the top layer.


So that the 22ND and MIKI stood out on the busy DSP I layered a piece of Soft Shimmer Speciality Paper in Fresh Freesia on Foam Sheet. I then cut out the pieces I needed with the Alphabet A La Mode Dies. The Foam Sheet has the added advantage of being self adhesive making the fiddly letters much easier to attach.


The final elements on my card are some flowers. I wanted the flowers to be in a similar style to what is pictured on the DSP. I used the Petal Park Builder Punch to punch two sets of petals from Berry Burst card stock and one from Blackberry Bliss card stock. I aged and shaped the paper by scrunching it before adhering the three layers together with glue dots. For the center of the flowers I tore a strip of Crushed Curry card stock and then rolled it up and secured the end with some glue.

It had the desired effect, she loved it! The beautiful Masterfully Made DSP made it easy.

All of the products used to make this card are available through my Online Stampin' Up! store.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 11 - Basic Gray Level Complete

 




Hello stampers, it's time for week 11 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every Wednesday evening we have been featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours. This week all of our projects feature Basic Gray, a versatile dark gray from the Neutrals colour family.

For card's today I used the Level Complete stamp set. I was inspired by this sample card from the catalogue.
I quite regularly use the samples in the catalogue for inspiration if I'm struggling. I reversed the colours by stamping the controller image numerous times on Basic Gray card stock with Versamark ink and White embossing powder.


To highlight the other buttons on the controllers I stamped the image on Real Red, Azure Afternoon, Garden Green and Daffodil Delight. I fussy cut the individual buttons with Paper Snips. These teeny tiny pieces were then glued to the Basic Gray card front.


The greetings were stamped on Real Red and Azure Afternoon with Memento Black ink.


All of the products used to make this card are available from my online store.
