Colour Creations week 6 - Bubble Bath Zany Zoo

Hello stamping friends, welcome to week 7 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we are featuring one of the beautiful Stampin' Up! colours.

This week we are up to the second new colour to join the Stampin' Up! colour range, Bubble Bath, a lovely soft, baby pink colour.

I have two cards to share with you tonight. For the first card I have used the Zany Zoo bundle. This cute set is really versatile and can be used for many different themed cards. Tonight I have a baby card to share with you.

I stamped the ballerina leopard image in Memento Black ink and coloured with my Blends Markers. The colours I used are listed below.

For the background of my card I used three different embossing folders and strips of Bubble Bath card stock.

For the second card I used the Dots and Spots Die and the Wanted to Say Dies. I cased this idea from a card I saw by Penny Hammond who is a fellow demonstrator and who always has inspirational ideas to share.

I cut a circle from Smoky Slate card stock and then die cut the circle with the Dots and Spots Die. I used strips of Fresh Freesia, Orchid Opulence and Berry Burst to weave through the holes.

The Happy Birthday was cut from Soft Shimmer Specialty paper in Berry Burst. The Berry Burst balloon was cut from the same Soft Shimmer Specialty Paper, but the other two balloons were cut from plain card stock in Orchid Opulence and Fresh Freesia. These balloons were then coloured with a Wink of Stella Pen to give a similar shimmery finish.

The background of the card was embossed with one of the Online Exclusive 3pk of Embossing Folders.

All of the products used to make these cards are available in my Stampin' Up! online store. If you have any questions please contact me as I am always happy to chat about Stampin' Up! and card making.

Now it's time to see what my wonderfully clever team member and the host of our blog hop Cathy Proctor has to share with us.

Please visit next week when we will be featuring Lemon Lolly.

Thank you for visiting,

Rachel

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 6 - Azure Afternoon Circle

Hello friends, welcome to week 6 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team, Each week we have been featuring one of the fabulous Stampin' Up! colours. This week we are featuring Azure Afternoon, the first of our brand new colours.

For tonight's card I have used the Circle Sayings Bundle as well as a couple of pieces of Bright and Beautiful DSP. I stamped the wave image in Memento Black ink and coloured it in with Blends Markers in Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lolly.

I cut out the image with one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies and then I punched the background circle using the 2 3/8" punch, which is part of the Circle Sayings Bundle.

For the background on the card front I used a couple of strips of Bright and Beautiful DSP and a piece of Basic White card stock. I attached them on angles for some extra interest. The greeting is stamped in Azure Afternoon ink.

All of the products used to make this card are available in my online store.

Now it's time to head over to Caroline Manwaring's blog to see what beautiful project she has to share with us.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 5 Wild Wheat Gone Fishing

It's week 5 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. This week we are featuring the final 2023-2025 In Colour, Wild Wheat. Wild Wheat is a yellow ochre colour that is my least favourite of the new In Colours.

For tonight's card I relied on the lovely Let's Go Fishing DSP.

I chose the sheet with the multi coloured fish on one side and the gingham pattern on the reverse side. I cut one end with one of the Basic Borders Dies. And then a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock with the same die.

The card front was completed with a strip of the gingham DSP.

The greeting is from the Inked & Tiled stamp set and has been heat embossed in white on Pebbled Path card stock.

I dismantled a small piece of In Colour Jute Twine and attached it behind the greeting. I fussy cut one of the flies from another of the DSP and attached it to the front of the greeting panel. The greeting panel was cut with a Nested Essentials Die.

All of the products that were used to make this card are available through my online store, the links are below. Please contact me with any questions, I'm always happy to chat about stamping ang Stampin' Up!

Now it's time to hop over to see what my lovely team member Rosa Leyden has to share with us.
