Colour Creations Blog Hop Week 14 - Coastal Cabana Hippest Hippos

Welcome stampers, to week 14 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. This week our featured colour is Coastal Cabana, which is a fresh green/blue colour from the Brights colour family.

For tonight's card I have used a couple of the Sale-a-bration rewards items, the Hippest Hippos stamp set and the Hippo Dies. These items are each FREE with any $90 purchase.

I started with the 'waving hippo' and stamped in Stazon ink on Shimmery White card stock.

I used my Watercolour Pencils and a Water Painter to gently colour the image. The colours I used are pictured below. I cut out the hippo with the co ordinating die.

I also used the dies to cut out a boat from Real Red card stock. I decided to add a bit of fun to my card by adding a Wobble Spring (not Stampin' Up!) to the back of the hippo/boat piece. These are self adhesive on both sides and means that the hippo looks like he's getting a really rough ride in his boat.

On another piece of Shimmery White card stock I used the widest Water Painter to apply a a soft wash of Coastal Cabana ink for the background and then when dry I cut out the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

From a sheet of Coastal Cabana DSP from the 6"x6" Brights pack I cut two of the waves pieces. I layered these on the bottom of the circle, then ran the circle through the Cutting Machine again to shape the waves to fit the circle.

The Basic White card front was layered on a Coastal Cabana card base.

I hope my cute hippo has inspired you to take advantage of the Sale-a-bration specials. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Now it's time to hop over to Theresa's blog to see what Coastal Cabana inspiration she has to share with us.

If you encounter any issues with our blog links please head to Cathy's blog as she is our wonderful host and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

We will be back same time next week to feature Crumb Cake.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase week 47 - Smoky Slate

Hello stampers. Week 47 of the Art With Heart Colour Creation Showcase brings us Smoky Slate. There is a complete list of all participants on Cathy's Blog, the link is at the end of this post.

Smoky Slate belongs in our neutrals colour family and is a lovely soft gray that compliments the majority of the Stampin' Up! colours.

In honor of our beautiful new Stampin' Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue I decided to feature Smoky Slate with all of our new 2021-2023 In Colours. Hence the very long colour combination below, especially as I added Silver as well.

To make my card I used Smokey Slate as the card base and the background. I embossed the background with the Paint embossing folder that has carried over from the Jan to June Mini catalogue. The mat between is Basic Gray card stock.

I used the smallest rectangle die from the Scalloped Contour Dies to cut out each of the new In Colours. From left to right they are Fresh Freesia, Soft Succulent, Polished Pink, Evening Evergreen and Pale Papaya.

Behind the In Colour pieces are a couple of strips of the Silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon.

The greeting is from the Colour & Contour stamp set and has been heat embossed in Silver on Basic Gray card stock. I fussy cut around the greeting then adhered it with Dimensionals.

The finishing touch was a few Rhinestone Jewels, every card needs a bit of bling!

I'm very excited that these colours are now part of our range for the next two years, do you have a favourite? I think mine is between Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia.

For more Smoky Slate inspiration head to Cathy's blog for a full list of tonight's participants.

If you don't already have a copy of the new catallogue and live in Australia, contact me and I will send one out to you.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase week 38 - Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie is this week's featured colour in the AWHT Colour Creations Showcase. Pumpkin Pie is not a colour that I use regularly but it is a lovely clear orange colour.

I have combined Pumpkin Pie with some of the other orange shades in our range to make my bunch of flowers.

The flowers and leaves are cut using the Pierced Blooms Dies.

I stamped the stems and some of the background leaves in Granny Apple Green ink on a Basic White Stitched Rectangle.

I had fun making this card, the hardest part was deciding which colour to make each flower. The greeting is stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink on a strip of Basic White card stock.
