Colour Blocked Sweet Peas

 I was having a play with the Sweet Peas stamp set by Stampin' Up! and was inspired to revisit a card layout that I used previously. You can see my original card here.

I chose 4 images to heat embossed on Shy Shamrock, Blackberry Bliss, Petunia Pop and Shaded Spruce.

I trimmed each image so that they fit together on a Basic White mat. The card base is Shy Shamrock.

Thanks for visiting, don't forget we have Bonus Days at Stampin' Up! for the remainder of this month.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 42 - Real Red Irresistible Blooms

 

 Hello stampers, welcome to week 42 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order.              

This week we are featuring Real Red, a lovely rich red colour from the Brights Colour family.

I am using a new bundle called Irresistible Blooms which is available as one of our new Online Exclusive products. Stampin' Up! are releasing Online Exclusive products several times during the year.

These are the first selection of Online Exclusive products. They can only be found in the online store.

I heat embossed the floral images in Black Embossing Powder, on either Shimmery White cardstock or Real Red card stock. I like the vibrant black contrast and the extra texture that the embossing powder gives.

I coloured the Shimmery White card stock with a Water Painter and Real Red ink.

The leaves are cut from Basic Black card stock. Some of the leaves have been coloured with or sparkled with a Wink of Stella pen.

I pull apart some black twine into single threads and attached them behind the leaves. The background paper is a piece of vellum from the Layering Designs pack.

The final touches on this card were some Basic Rhinestone Jewels. The greeting is also from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set and was stamped in Memento Black ink.

If you have any questions about my project or any of the Online Exclusive products please contact me, I'm always happy to chat about stamping. Shop here for Online Exclusives.

Now it's time to head over to Theresa Gerrard and check out the amazing project she has to share with us.

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

Thanks for hopping by and happy stamping,

Rachel

I have some card to share with you that I made from the Favored Flowers DSP.

These stunning papers feature Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink and Basic Black.

For the first two cards I cut a piece of DSP just slightly smaller than the card front and used either two Stitched Rectangular Dies inside each other or a Scalloped Contour Die. The center piece of the card is the reverse side of the paper.

For the second card I fussy cut some of the images from the DSP and mounted them on one of the other sheets. 

All of the greetings on these cards are from the Go To Greetings stamp set.

Thanks for visiting and remember I'm happy to answer any questions you  may have about these cards or anything Stampin' Up!

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 13 - Cherry Cobbler Christmas Lights

 

Hello stampers, welcome to week 13 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop. Every Wednesday night the Art With Heart Team are featuring one of the beautiful Stampin' Up! colours in their Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are featuring Cherry Cobbler, which is a lovely deep red colour that lives in the Regals Colour Family. This colour is one of my favourite Christmas colours so I had to create a Christmas card to share with you tonight.

I stamped the large tree image in Evening Evergreen on Soft Succulent card stock and cut it out with the matching die. 

I stamped some of the tinsel stamps across the tree and the star on top of the tree in Versamark ink and embossed with Gold Emboss Powder.

The background paper behind the tree is a Cherry Cobbler piece from the Festive Foils Specialty Paper Pack.

For the frame around the tree I used the largest Fabulous Frames Die and Gold Foil Paper. The card base is Evening Evergreen card stock. The greeting is stamped on Cherry Cobbler card stock and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder and was cut out using one of the dies from the Brightest Glow bundle.

The final step was to add a few Festive Pearls in Cherry Cobbler and Gold.

Another card to add to my Christmas card stash, now it's time to see what Michele Taylor has to share with us.

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

See you next week when we will be featuring Coastal Cabana.

Thanks for visiting,
