Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase week 49 - Soft Sea Foam

This week is week 49 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase and we are featuring Soft Sea Foam. Soft Sea Foam is a very pale, subtle green colour that is one of our Subtle colours. Only one more colour next week and then we are going to finish up with the new 2021-2023 In Colours.

I keep forgetting that the Jan to June Mini Catalogue is still current and that all the products in this catalogue are still available until the 30th of June. So I thought I would feature the Ice Cream Corner DSP one last time.

The card base is Soft Sea Foam as is the Scalloped rectangle behind the ice cream.

I used the Ice Cream Corner DSP for the background and to punch the ice cream cone and the scoops of ice cream from with the Ice Cream Punch.

The beautiful, scripty Happy Birthday is from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and has been stamped in Blackberry Bliss on Basic White card stock.

The Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and the Ice Cream Punch are available in the 2021-2022 Catalogue but the Ice Cream Corner DSP is not, so if this is on your wish list make sure you order it by the 30th of June. All of the products used in this projects are listed below.

For more inspiration from the Colour Creations Showcase head to Cathy's blog for a complete list of tonight's participants.

Thanks for visiting,

Rachel

Slimline Birdhouses

I am loving the Garden Birdhouses from the 2021-2022 Stampin' Up! Catalogue. The three birdhouses can either be hung from the branch or attached to the top of the stake.

All of the stamping was done in Soft Suede ink. I stamped the branch 3 times up the length of the card along with three hungers for the birdhouses. I stamped the birdhouses separately and then coloured them with Blends Markers. The colours I used are listed below.

The birdhouses were fussy cut then adhered with Dimensionals. The leaves were also coloured with Blends Markers. I shaded the sky with Balmy Blue and the Blending Brushes.

The greeting is from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set and was heat embossed in white on Balmy Blue card stock. The final embellishment is some Linen thread bows on each of the birdhouses.

I will be back soon with more projects from the new catalogue. Don't forget, I'm happy to answer any questions about this project or Stampin' Up! in general.

Thanks,

Rachel

Art With Heart Monthly Creative Showcase for May - Welcome new 2021-2022 Catalogue

Welcome to the Art With Heart Creative Showcase for May. Every month we choose a different theme to feature, usually guided by annual celebrations or Stampin' Up! events. This month we are showcasing our favourite products from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue which started earlier this month.

There is a complete list of tonight's participants at the end of this post.

For tonight's card I have combined three of my favourite new products from the new catalogue.

These three things being the Expressions in Ink DSP,

Meadow Dies ( which coordinate with the Quiet Meadow stamp set),

and the Biggest Wish stamp set.

More details about these products can be found in my online store, the links are below this post.

This card was very simple to put together and I will definitely be duplicating it using different papers from the beautiful Expressions In Ink pack. The loveliness of these papers is not accurately pictured in the catalogue and I'm not even sure you can see it in my photos. The papers were designed to picture the effect of Alcohol Ink colouring and have gold veins or highlights on each double sided piece.

I cut the Daisy die from the Meadow Dies from Gold Foil and attached it to the ard front with Dimensionals and glue.

The greeting was heat embossed in Gold on Vellum card stock and attached with Glue dots. A handy tip is to only put the glue dots behind the greeting as they will be visible through the vellum otherwise and will not look very attractive on your beautiful card.

Short and simple this week but I an very pleased with how it looks.

Below are the other team members who have amazing creations to share with you. Make sure you check them out, they are beautiful.
