Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase week 46 - Shaded Spruce

It's week 46 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase and this week our projects are featuring Shaded Spruce, a lovely rich green in our Regals collection. We are almost at the end of our showcase, but we have decided to extend it for another 5 weeks to include the 5 new 2021-2023 In Colours.

I wanted to use one of the soon to be discontinued stamp set and die combinations for this week's card. I chose the Geared Up Garage stamp set and the coordinating Garage Gears dies.

I started with a Night of Navy card base. The Shaded Spruce background has been stamped in Shaded Spruce ink with the smudge or watermark stamp.

The main gear piece has been cut from Gold Foil paper and the smaller dies have been cut from Just Jade card stock.

I cut the gears from the gold mat before I attached it to the back of the Shaded Spruce piece. I try to be as economical as possible with my supplies so that I can afford to buy lots more! :)

The greeting is stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.

Another masculine card to add to my stash, very happy with this one. If you're quick the dies are still available in our Last Chance Products sale.

For more Shaded Spruce inspiration from the AWHT head to Cathy's blog for a complete list of tonight's participants.

Next we are featuring Smoky Slate in our Showcase.

If you haven't received a copy of the new 2021-2022 Catalogue and would like one, and if you live in Australia, drop me a line and I will get one to you.

Until next time,

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Game On Cards to Share

Hello stampers, I have something a little different to share with you tonight.I bought this stamp set during the sale and thought it was time it saw ink.

I chose Real Red, Basic Black and Basic Gray as my colour palette to reflect the traditional colours in the games.

For my first card I stamped the chess pieces in Memento Black ink and then coloured with Blends Markers in Black, Smoky Slate and the Colour Lifter.

The two squares were cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies. On the Basic Black card base I stamped several of the checkered stamps in Versamark and then heat embossed with White Emboss Powder.

The greeting is perfect for this card and for the second card also.

For the second card I used the playing cards stamp and coloured the stamp directly with the Stampin' Markers in Basic Gray and Real Red. I stamped the same image numerous times in Versamark on the Real Red card base.

I fussy cut the playing cards.The middle panel is Basic Gray card stock that has been dry embossed with the Tasteful Textures 3D embossing folder. There are two angled strips of Silver Foil card stock behind the Basic Gray panel.

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

For more information or if you have any questions please contact me.

Thanks for visiting, I will be back tomorrow night with the final Heart of Christmas Showcase with the Art With Heart stampers.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Art With Heart Team Creative Showcase for September is Masculine Themed

Welcome to the September Art With Heart Monthly Creative Showcase. This month the team are featuring Masculine themed cards.

Every second Thursday of the month the Art With Heart Team are here to inspire you with you their amazing creations on many different themes.

I usually find Masculine cards more hard to design than feminine ones with lots for flowers and fuss, but I'm very excited to show you what I have made for tonight.

I used my Happy Dies and some In Good Taste DSP for the main layer.

I cut another HAPPY from Early Espresso to make a shadow effect.

The mat behind Happy is Balmy Blue.

The BIRTHDAY stamp is from the Well Said stamp set and has been die cut with one of the Rectangular Stitched Dies made shorter by cutting once then repositioning the die to cut off the end of the die cut piece.

Inside the card is a little Pop Up surprise...

I have used the A Good Man stamp set to create this pop up in the center of the card. I originally found this technique demonstrated by Jennifer McGuire on Pinterest.

It's a very simple technique that I will be sharing in my Online Pop Up Class on the 24th of September.

The image has been stamped in Memento ink and coloured with Stampin Blends Markers.

The grass across the base of the card is two layers of Friendly Silhouette Dies in Mossy Meadow and Old Olive. The Linen Tread around the base of the card is the final touch.

The other Art With Heart Team members have been at their stamping desks creating more Masculine cards to inspire you. Click on the links below to see what they have to share.

The Art With Heart Team will be back next month with another Creative Showcase to share with you. Next month we will be sharing simple cards that use less than 5 supplies to make.

If you would like to purchase any of the supplies I have used to make this card the links to my online store are included below. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
