Colour Creations Blog Hop week 29 - Highland Heather Artistic Roses and Merriest Trees


 
Welcome to week 29 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we  have been featuring one of the beautiful Stampin' Up! core colours. This week we are featuring Highland Heather, a lovely soft purple from our Subtles Colour Family.

I have two cards tonight.
Firstly a birthday card that I made for a stamping friend who loves purples.
I used the Artistically Inked Bundle. The other colours on the card are Gorgeous Grape, Lost Lagoon and Soft Sea Foam.


I've stamped some leaves behind the die cut leaves to add extra dimension.


I really love the Happy Birthday greeting in this set, it's a beautiful font. I've used white embossing powder on Gorgeous Grape card stock.


For the second card I have used the Merriest Trees Bundle. I used a Blending Brush to apply Highland Heather to the card front behind the tree. This piece was then embossed with one of the 3D Basics Embossing folders from the Online Exclusives.

To make the tree I used Blending Brushes with Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green ink. I then splattered water and a Wink of Stella pen over the card stock for added interest.


The decorations are from the Silver Glimmer Paper, Adhesive Backed. The greeting was stamped in Highland Heather ink.

Now it's time to see what my lovely stamping friend Andrea Sargent has to share with us.

Heart of Christmas week 15 - Merriest Trees Hexagons

 



Hello stamping friends, welcome to week 15 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. We only have a couple of Monday's left of our Christmas Blog Hop before we finish for this year. Make sure you check out all of our posts for your Christmas inspiration. 

This week I have a couple of pop up cards to share with you. I used the Merriest Trees Bundle to decorate these hexagon pop up cards. I used my electric cutter to cut the bases but there are numerous tutorials available on the web if you search Hexagon Pop Up Boxes.


For both cards I used the following colours for the trees.
Large tree: Shaded Spruce and Mossy Meadow,
Middle tree: Garden Green and Shaded Spruce,
Smallest tree: Soft Sea Foam and Garden Green.


For this card the decorations are cut from Gold Adhesive Backed Specialty Paper and Red Foil paper. 


For the second card all of the decorations are cut from Gold Adhesive Backed Paper. These cards still fold flat to fit into an envelope 14cm x 14cm.

Now it's time to hop over and check out the beautiful project that my stamping friend Christine Blain has to share with us.

Heart of Christmas week 14 - Festive and Fun

 

Hello stampers, I'm back for week 14 of the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop with the Art With Heart team.

This week I have a really cute card to share with you that was made using the Festive & Fun stamp set.
I stamped the rhinoceros in Memento Black and coloured with Stampin Blends. The colours I used are listed below.


The patterned papers above and below the image are from the Merry Bold and Bright DSP pack. For the greeting I stamped one of the stamps from the Joy To You stamp set and then cut out the individual MERRY and CHRISTMAS words.

Now it's time to see what the delightfully talented Judy May has to share with us.
