Art With Heart Kids Party Blog Hop

 
 Today I’m excited to bring you a blog hop with some of the awesome ladies in the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team. 
Today we focus on the kids in our lives, from birthday cards to party ideas.
 
Sale-a-bration continues and this week we have three new additional items you can earn for free with a $90 order - ask me how!
 
I love the coloured glimmer paper that is one of the new Sale-a-bration rewards. I was excited to combine all three colours on these kids cards.
 
 Glimmer paper and Cool Treats framelits are combined with Cupcake and Carousel DSP stack on this card. The Stitched Oval thinlit adds a bit more detail.
The second card uses SAB glimmer paper, Balloon Adventures and Birthday Bright stamp set.
For the background on both cards I've used Timeless Textures stamp set to add a vintage feel to the cards.

Make a Medallion stamp set

I love the look of this new Sale-a-bration set, but I was a little nervous about lining up all of the circles. This was unfounded as firstly the set is photopolymer and very easy to use and secondly the circle are arranged so that two are one each stamp, as pictured on the cover.  
 
Here are two cards I made using this set.
 
The card on the left uses Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe, wth a tiny smidgen if Mint Macron Glimmer paper which is another Sale-a-bration reward. The card on the right is Tip Top Taupe, Black Memento ink and Copper Embossing powder. Love this combo.
Sale-a-bration is already half over, finishing on the 31st of March. Don't miss out on these offers. Contact me for more information.
 
Happy Stampin,
Rachel.

New Sale-a-bration Rewards

I'm finally getting organised after the kids returned to school. Today I had my first play with one of the new Sale-a-bration rewards, the 3pack of glimmer paper in Bermuda Bay, Mint Macron and Sweet Sugarplum.   Here's what I made...
I LOVE how the glimmer paper co ordinates perfectly with our colour range.
Back soon with a sample using the Mint Macron glimmer paper.
Happy Stampin,

Art With Heart Occasions and Sale-a-bration Blog Hop







 Today I’m excited to bring you a blog hop with some of the awesome ladies in the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team. Today we focus on the new Occasions Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Catalogue and also Sale-a-bration! If you place an order with me during Sale-a-bration, you can choose a free item with every $90 you spend in one transaction. There are lots of fabulous free items to choose from (ask me for a brochure and an Occasions Catalogue) and the promotion goes right through until 31st March.   Better still, become part of our awesome fun, friendly and supportive Art With Heart team.

We have a very active team forum and also have in person stamp days, challenges, card swaps, product shares and more. When you join during Sale-a-bration, you get to choose whatever you like from our catalogues, but pay just $169 for $235 worth of product (that’s a huge discount!) but also you get to choose between two free product options. It’s quick and easy to join online too. Ask me how! 

 The projects I have for you today both use the new stamp set High Tide, Firstly,  using lots of heat embossing...


On Night of Navy I heat embossed the lighthouse with white Embossing powder. The shore is stamped in Night of Navy. The water is stamped in Versamark then a combination of clear Embossing powder and Dazzling Diamonds. The beam of light is stamped in Versamark and then embossed in a combination of white EP and Dazzling Diamonds.  Lots of embossing, but I love the effect. The second card is more colourful.




  I stamped the lighthouse first to ensure that it was straight. Then the shore. I masked the lighthouse and the shore before stamping the water in Dapper Denim and Pool Party. The sky was sponged with Soft Sky. The birds and the greeting are stamped in Basic Gray.
