Colour Creations Blog Hop week 10 - Balmy Blue Baby Bunny

Hello friends, welcome to week 10 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. This week we are sharing projects that feature Balmy Blue, a lovely soft blue from our Subtles family.

Both of my cards use the rabbit from the Easter Bunny stamp set.

For the first card I coloured the rabbit with Blends Markers in Balmy Blue and a small amount of Bubble Bath. I also stamped and coloured three butterflies with Blends Markers.

I fussy cut the rabbit and the butterflies. The frame around the rabbit is cut using one of the Darling Details Dies from Basic White card stock.

The DSP behind the rabbit is from the Countryside Inn DSP. I used the Best Family Ever stamp set for the greeting. To stamp the 'on' I had to carefully ink only the o and n from Congratulations with a Balmy Blue Stampin' Write Marker.

The card base is Balmy Blue.

For the second card I stamped the rabbit image on to a piece of Balmy Blue DSP. Again I fussy cut the image. Three more butterflies are stamped and coloured with Blends Markers.

It's a bit hard to see in the photos but I used the Bubble Bath Blends Marker to colour the rabbits nose, ears and foot pads.

I used the smaller frame from the Darling Details around the rabbit for this card. The Balmy Blue panel behind the rabbit is embossed with on of the Basics 3D embossing folders from the Online Exclusives range. You can find all of the Online Exclusives products and others used to make these cards in my online Stampin' Up! Online Store.

Now it's time to head to the next blog in our Hop, which belongs to my lovely friend Sharon Davern. I can't wait to see what she has to share with us. Make sure you visit all the blogs for lots a Balmy Blue inspiration.

If you have any problems with the links in our Blog Hop please head to Cathy Proctor's blog as she is the host of our blog hops and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

Make sure to check back next week when we will be featuring projects using Basic Gray.

Please contact me if you have any questions, I'm always happy to chat about stamping.

Thanks for visiting,

Rachel

Colour Creations Blog Hop Week 1 - Boho Blue Patchwork

Hello stampers, we're back with week 1 of the 2023-2024 Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team.

Every week we will be featuring one of the stunning Stampin' Up! colours, starting with the new In Colours. First up is Boho Blue, a beautiful grey/blue colour that is a lovely addition to our range.

For tonight's card I was inspired by a card I saw by reallyrobinstamps.com. I adjusted the measurements from inches to centimeters and used the Countryside Inn DSP.

This card uses four different sheets from the Countryside Inn DSP. One of the awesome features of the Stampin' Up! DSP packs is that all 12 designs in each pack co ordinate perfectly, making them very versatile to create with.

The greeting on this card is from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set. The flower embellishments were cut using the Petal Park Builder Punch.

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

The next demonstrator in the blog hop is the very talented Rosa Leyden, I'm sure you will enjoy her beautiful creation.

If you encounter any issues with the links in our blog hop please head to Cathy Proctor's blog as she is the wonderful host of our Colour Creations Blog Hop and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

Next week we will be featuring Copper Clay.

The new 2023-2024 Stampin' Up! catalogue is now live! If you would like a copy and do not already have a demonstrator please contact me and I will get on to you.

Stay tuned for pic from my Catalogue Launch, it's sure to be a fun day.

Australia's Biggest Morning Tea is coming to my house in the form of a cuppa and a couple of cards on the 20th of May. All class fees are to be donated to the Cancer Council. Contact me for more information.
