Colour Creations Blog Hop week 7 Azure Afternoon Racing By Pop Up

 

Hello, I'm back with another Racing By card for week 7 of the Colour Creation Blog Hop. This week the team at Art With Heart are creating projects that feature Azure Afternoon, a lovely bright blue from the Brights Colour Family.

For this card I started stamping the car images from the bottom of the Basic White card front. I staggered the alignment of the cars so hopefully they look like a whole field of race cars racing by.

Due to the dreary weather in Melbourne over the last few days I had trouble getting nice photos of my cards so please forgive the fingers in a couple of the pictures, I was chasing the light.

I stamped the solid colours of the cars in Azure Afternoon, Gorgeous Grape and Lemon Lime Twist. The greeting is stamped in Gorgeous Grape.

To make the inside of the card a bit special I added an extra pop up car. I stamped the outline in Memento Black, the main car colour in Gorgeous Grape and this time I added a driver in Azure Afternoon. I just realised that all of my race cars on the front are driverless, OOOps! They must be driverless race cars of the future ;) 

This pop up mechanism was super easy. Just a strip of card stock scored at intervals of 2cm then joined to form a box. This was secured on two side to the inside of the card. The card was then attached to the front face of the box.

Azure Afternoon is a fabulous,bright blue that works perfectly with so many of Stampin' Up!s beautiful colours, some bright and some not so bright. Now it's time for more Azure Afternoon inspiration from the Art With Heart Team. The next blog in line is Rosa Leyden.

Please come back next week when we will be featuring Balmy Blue projects.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 6 - Basic Beige Magnolia

 

It's time for week 6 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we will be featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours and this week it's time for Basic Beige which is new addition to the Stampin' Up! colour family.

Basic Beige is a stand alone colour like Basic White and Basic Black. It's a very neutral colour that can be used with just about any of the Stampin' Up! colours. For today's card I have paired it with Mossy Meadow and Lemon Lolly.

I stamped the magnolia image in Crumb Cake ink on Basic Beige card stock. I coloured the base of the petals with a Light Crumb Cake Blends Marker.

The tips of the petals are coloured with a white pencil and the leaves are coloured with Old Olive and Early Espresso pencils. The center of the magnolia is coloured with Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry pencils.

I cut the textured magnolia die from Mossy Meadow card stock and layered it behind the coloured image. The greeting is from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder. I brayered the inside of the embossing folder with Crumb Cake ink before putting it through the Stampin Cut and Emboss Machine. I applied Versamark gently to the raised section of the word and then embossed with White Emboss Powder.

I used a piece of  Country Lace DSP as the background for the card.

I was so organised this week that I had time to decorate the inside of the card. The magnolia is stamped in Basic Beige on Basic Beige card stock and then layered again on Lemon Lolly card stock.

Make sure you take the time to hop around to all of the participating blogs tonight for lots of Basic Beige inspiration. Next stop in our blog hop is Vicki Boucher.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 5 - Summer Splash Racing By

 

Hello stampers, it's time for week 5 of the Colour Creation Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the beautiful Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order starting with the 2024-2026 In Colours. This week it's time to feature Summer Splash.

Today's card is a variation of a pull card that we saw demonstrated at the latest Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Event.

I used the Racing By stamp set for the racing car image.

The race car outline is stamped in Memento Black Ink and the solid image is Summer Splash and the star is Real Red.

There is a slit in the front of the card that allows the center tab to be pulled out, making the race car move.

The card base is Summer Splash and a center panel in Smoky Slate. The Smoky Slate piece has been embossed with the Metal Plate Embossing Folder.

I'm very pleased with how this card turned out, the little race car is so cute. I have a couple of other cards I have made with this set that I will share with you shortly.

Now it's time to see what me stamping friend Kathryn Ruddick has to share with us.
