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 week 8 - Lemon Lolly

Hello stamping friends, welcome to week 8 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we are featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week we are featuring one of the new colours that entered the Stampin' Up! colour range this year, Lemon Lolly.

I have two cards to share with you tonight. The first card uses the Zany Zoo Bundle.

I stamped the racoon image in Memento Black ink on Basic White card stock. I coloured the image with Smoky Slate Blends Markers and highlights with the Colour Lifter Marker.

On the card front I used one of the Foursquare Masks, Lemon Lolly ink and a Blending Brush to add a pattern.

I mounted the racoon on a tag die cut that was embossed with one of the Online Exclusives 3D Embossing Folders from the 3pack. I cut four balloons from Lemon Lolly, Basic White and Daffodil Delight.

The greeting from Go To Greetings was stamped in Smoky Slate on Basic White card stock and each word was cut out using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

For the second card I cut out the letters for HAPPY from Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Azure Afternoon, Fresh Freesia and Berry Burst card stock.

The card front is a piece of Bright & Beautiful DSP. I mounted the letters on a piece of Basic White card stock cut using a Scalloped Contour Die.

I cut out some more balloons from the Beautiful Balloons Dies in Azure Afternoon, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lolly card stock and used some small pieces of white twine as the balloon strings.

I stamped the birthday greeting from the Best Ever stamp set in Berry Burst ink on Lemon Lolly card stock. The final touch was a few sequins from the Loose Silver Sequins pack. They were attached with some Multipurpose Glue.

All of the products used to make these cards are available from my online store, the links are below.

Take advantage of tomorrow's FREE POSTAGE from Stampin' Up! to stock up on some items on your wish list.
