Colour Creations Blog Hop Week 6- Balmy Blue

Welcome to week 6 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop for 2022-2023. This week we are featuring the first of our core Stampin' Up! colours, Balmy Blue. Balmy Blue is a lovely soft baby blue colour that is in our Subtles colour family.

Although the new Annual Catalogue is still fresh I decided to dig out one of my older sets for this weeks card. I chose Hydrangea Haven as I thought Balmy Blue would be perfect for the lusciously big flower heads.

I stamped the main outline image in Basic Gray, then used the solid leaf and flower head circle to fill in the outline. I stamped the flower head first in Balmy Blue and added some Highland Heather with a Sponge Dauber. The leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzazz.

I made my beautiful bow by layering Crinkle Seam Binding that has been coloured with a Balmy Blue Blends Marker over Glittered Organdy Ribbon and then I tied the bow. The strip around the middle is a flat piece of coloured Crinkled Seam Binding over another piece of Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

I'm very pleased a had another play with this set, I seem to concentrate too much on my new stamps and forget about the older ones that are still in the catalogue.

It's now time to continue to the next step on our Blog Hop and see what the very clever Cathy Proctor has to share with us. Cathy is also the host of our Colour Creations Blog Hop so if you have any issues following the hops please head to her blog for a complete list of tonight's participants.

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping,

Rachel

Art With Heart Christmas Blog Hop

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative Christmas projects, many featuring products from the upcoming Holiday Catalogue which starts on the 4th of September.

If you would like a copy of the 2019 - 2020 Annual catalogue or the new Holiday catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you. For today's card I have used the Christmas Gleaming stamp set. No baubles today, instead I used the holly sprig, one of the greetings and the filigree stamp.

The Gold Foil frame has been cut and embossed using the Heirloom Frames Dies. These dies include the dies to cut the oval and rectangle frames and also the Embossing Folders which create the beautiful details on the frames.

The filigree stamp was used to add some detail to the background Cherry Cobbler card stock in matching ink.

Three holly sprigs were embossed in Gold Embossing Powder. They were then coloured with an Aquapainter and Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce ink and then fussy cut by hand. The card base in Shaded Spruce card stock.

The greeting was also gold embossed and was cut out using one of the Stitched Shapes dies.

The final touch was a gold embossed holly sprig on the inside of the card. Now it's time to visit the very talented Catherine and see her beautiful Christmas project.

Art With Heart Blog Hop - Simple Stamping

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects featuring Simple Stamping, which means our projects feature only paper, stamps and ink. It’s a great way to create a quick and easy card for new stampers or for when you need a card at short notice. These projects highlight how Stampin’ Up! ink, paper and card stock coordinates perfectly.

If you would like a copy of the 2019 - 2020 annual catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you.

For my Simple Stamping card I chose to use the Royal Peacock stamp set. I first stamped the peacock in Pretty Peacock ink on Shimmery White card stock and then stamped the highlight stamp in Blueberry Bushel.

The greeting is stamped in Blueberry Bushel. The Shimmery White card stock was then attached to a Blueberry Bushel card base and the card was completed.

It's not often there is only 5 items in the supply list but that's the idea of a Simple Stamping card. #simplestamping

For more amazingly simple cards check out what the other Art With Heart Team members have done, starting with the very talented Sharon Davern.
