Personalised Special Project

I have a special project to share with you that I had to wait until after the event just in case.

My oldest son was in the wedding of the first of his group of friends. The beautiful couple tied the knot on Saturday so I can safely share the card I made for them.

I used their initials and their colour scheme of champagne and gold for the basis of my card. LOTS of retired products were used to make this card, including the Large Letters alphabet, the Scalloped Contours Dies, Floral Embossing folder and the Naturals Ivory cardstock for the card base.

The greeting is from the Lifetime of Love stamp set. The tiny flowers were cut using a retired punch and then the edges were embossed in gold. The leaves are from a recent SAB reward.

The greeting panel was cut with a dies from the Unbounded Dies set. I even unboxed my Envelope Punch board to make a co ordinated envelope to match the card.

I think I might get a lot more practice at these cards, there seems to be a flood of weddings coming, yay!

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 46 - Smoky Slate Love Cats

 

Welcome to week 46 of the Colour Creation Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Each week we have been featuring one of the wonderful Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week we are featuring Smoky Slate, a soft, delicate gray from our Neutrals family.

For my Smoky Slate card I chose the Love Cats stamp set from the Jan to April Mini catalogue.

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the cat image so that I could stamp several times in the same position. I stamped numerous times with Smoky Slate ink and then a couple of times after adding Basic Gray shading.

The short brick wall is Smoky Slate card stock embossed with the Brick and Mortar embossing folder. I highlighted the pattern by sponging Smoky Slate over the embossing.

I cut a scalloped rectangle using one of the Scalloped Contour Dies from Petal Pink card stock. The tiny hearts are cut from Rose Gold metallic Specialty paper and the Conversation Bubble dies.

The background DSP is a piece from the Abigail Rose DSP pack, which is in the Stampin' Up! annual catalogue.

The greeting is from my favourite greeting set, Go To Greetings and was heat embossed in White Embossing Powder on Smoky Slate card stock. The greeting was cut using a Stylish Shape die.

All of the products used to make this card are available from my online Stampin' Up! store. Please contact me with any questions.

Now it's time to be amazed and see what my talented team member Caroline Manwaring has to share with us.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase week 45 - Seaside Spray

This week the Art With Heart Team are featuring Seaside Spray for our weekly Colour Creation Showcase. Seaside Spray is another of the 2019-2021 In Colours that will be discontinued when the Annual Catalogue finishes on the 3rd of May.

For tonight's card I needed a project that was quick and easy as I was a little time poor this week.

I started with the Sand and Sea DSP, which features Seaside Spray on many of it's sheets.

I turned to my favourite birthday greeting from the Happiest of Birthday stamp set and stamped this in Seaside Spray on Basic White paper.

I cut the greeting out with one of the dies from the new Scalloped Contour dies set that will be available in the 2021-2022 Catalogue. These dies come in numerous sizes and all have different stitching patterns around the edges.

The card base is Seaside Spray. The final embellishment is some Linen Thread around the bottom of the greeting piece.

Good bye Seaside Spray, hopefully you will return in a colour refresh down the track. For more Seaside Spray inspiration from the Art With Heart Team, head to Cathy's blog for a complete list of tonight's participants.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

More Elegantly Said - Fresh Freesia

While I had the Elegantly Said Bundle out on my desk I was inspired to continue playing. For this card I used my new Fresh Freesia ink and the Scalloped Contour Dies. 

I stamped the filigree stamp and the lace border in Fresh Freesia. The greeting was heat embossed in Silver and there is a piece of silver twine wrapped around the white scalloped rectangle.

I cut two pieces of silver foil with the middle size Scalloped Contour Die and attached them behind the white scalloped piece.

A few Rhinestone Jewels finish the card.

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks from the upcoming catalogue.

Happy stamping,

Rachel
