Art With Heart Team Monthly Creative Showcase for January - Jan to June Mini and Sale-a-bration Catalogues

This is the Art With Heart Team Monthly Creative Showcase. Each month the Art With Heart Team present a showcase of their beautiful creations based on a specified theme. This month our creations feature products from the Stampin' Up! Jan to June Mini catalogue and the Sale-a-bration brochure. All of this months participants are listed at the end of this post.

For my cards today I have chosen the Hey Girlfriend stamp set. This is a wonderful set for colouring with our Blends markers. The colours I used for the first card are mainly Rococo Rose and So Saffron, with small amounts of Ivory, Pool Party and Terracotta Tile.

The background DSP is from the Hydrangea Hill paper pack and the second rectangle is a piece of So Saffron card stock that has been embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder.

I have stamped the card base with one of the floral images in the Hydrangea Haven stamp set, using Rococo Rose ink.

The greeting I have used is from the Hey Girlfriend stamp set. I stamped the greeting in Versamark and embossing in White Embossing Powder. The greeting panel was cut using the smallest Stitched So Sweetly dies.

For the second card I stamped one of the girls on Whisper White card stock and coloured her arms, face and legs with the Blends Markers.

I stamped her again on a piece of the Hydrangea Hill DSP and fussy cut only her dress. I glued this dress on to her with Multi Purpose Glue.

The strips of DSP in the background are also from the Hydrangea Hill DSP and have been attached to a Stitched Rectangle of Misty Moonlight card stock. Misty Moonlight is my current favourite colour and I will be very sad when it leaves our range in just over 12 months time.

The card base is Seaside Spray, which coordinates perfectly with Misty Moonlight.

The greeting on this card is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and has been stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink. The greeting panel was cut using a die from the All Dressed Up Dies.

A piece of Crinkled Seam Binding was wrapped around the background piece before it was attached to the card base.

All of the products used to make these cards are available in my online store.

Please visit the other Art With Heart Team members listed below to view their beautiful creations, made using products from the Stampin' Up! Jan to June Mini Catalogue and the Sale-a-bration brochure.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase week 32 - Pacific Point

Today the Art With Heart Team are featuring Pacific Point in their weekly Colour Creations Showcase. I have used the Handsomely Suited Collection to complete two cards. The Handsomely Suited Collection includes the stamp set, dies, coordinating Designer Series Paper and the Twine Combo Pack.

All of these products are available in the new Jan to June Mini Catalogue.

Also on now is the Sale-a-bration Sale. For every $90 worth of products purchased you can earn free products from the Sale-a-bration brochure.

This week I have paired Pacific Point with Night of Navy and Whisper White.

For my first card I used the dies to cut a suit base and collar piece from Pacific Point. I embossed the suit base with the Subtle 3D embossing folder. I attached the suit piece to a Whisper White card base.

The collar piece is cut from Whisper White and the tie and pocket handkerchief is from a piece of Well Suited DSP.

I attached the tie first, checking it is in the correct position with regards to the collar. Then attached the collar and the suit lapels. The pocket and the buttons are the last pieces to be attached. I used a glue dot for each of the buttons.

The greeting was stamped in Night of Navy ink and comes in the Handsomely Suited stamp set.

For the second card I used the two bow tie stamps in the Handsomely Suited stamp set. I stamped three on different pieces of the Well Suited DSP and fussy cut them out. There are matching dies for all stamps in this set, but I didn't want a border around the images so I chose to cut them out by hand.

I randomly stamped the bow ties on Whisper White with Night of Navy ink. I attached the three bow ties with Dimensionals.

The greeting was again stamped in Night of Navy, this time on Pacific Point card stock. I punched the end of the card stock strip with the Banner Triple Punch.

These are great masculine cards to add to my stock pile. I find masculine cards harder to make than girly, feminine cards so I am very excited to have this bundle to use. The first card will be perfect for one of my online classes too as there is only minimal stamping involved.

For more inspiration from the Art With Heart Team using Pacific Point head to Cathy's blog for a complete list of tonight's participants.

I will be back tomorrow for The Art With Heart Monthly Showcase, this month featuring products from the Jan to June Mini Catalogue.
