Colour Creations Blog Hop Bumblebee

 

Hello and welcome

Tonight I'll be sharing with you Week 7 of Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team in Australia. 

Each week there will be a Colour Creations blog hop showcasing Stampin' Up! Colors with a selection of members from the Art With Heart Team who will be joining in. I'm looking forward to seeing their beautiful projects using the Stampin' Up! Colors. You'll be able to hop around by clicking on the next link at the end of my blog.

The colour for tonight is Bumblebee which is part of the In Color Collection for 2020 - 2022 and comes in a number of different mediums such as Ink, Cardstock, DSP etc....I've used Bumblebee with Basic White, Basic Black and Gold for my two handmade cards.

I have to confess that I only created these two cards this morning and I had no idea what I was going to create until I saw the striped Gold and White paper from the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper looking at me. I just had to use the Artistically Inked Bundle to go with the paper.

It's a cold wet day here in Melbourne and Bumblebee is the perfect colour to brighten up someone's day! For my first card I've used Shimmery White Cardstock, die cut out using the larger flower and leaves detailed die from the Artistic Dies. 

Then using a Water Painter I used the wide brush tip and applied Bumblebee Ink to the image. I also added another smaller section from the detailed die to the card.

I used a panel of Vellum to dull down the bold Gold and White paper leaving some exposed either side. The sentiment is stamped in Bumblebee Ink on a strip of Basic White Cardstock, layered over Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon.

As I still had lots of ideas in my head, I decided to create another card using a side strip of the Gold and White paper. This time I created water colour effect on watercolor paper. 

First I added water with the wide brush tip adding Bumblebee Ink and then I started blowing it with an ear syringe making the ink going in different directions. I would also dry the ink with the Heat Tool and then repeat the process. I've splattered Black Ink using the dark Stampin' Blend brush tip against the lid.

I've used Black/White Baker's Twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack. I always love adding black and white to my projects when it comes to using any of the yellows from Stampin' Up! 

The sentiment in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock and layered over a strip of Basic Black Cardstock. I could of even made another card but time was running out for me.

Global Design Project Sketch Challenge #GDP294

Hello and welcome,

It's been a busy week for me as our family business YV Hampers supporting small local businesses we have been delivering hampers all over Melbourne due to Lockdown 4.0. It's our second week in lockdown and everyone has been requesting hampers to be delivered, plus I just love to make cards and gift tags to go with the gift hampers. 

Today's card is a thank you card and I thought I would base it on the Global Design Project latest Sketch Challenge #GDP294. I love a sketch challenge as it makes it so much easier to create a card.

I've used the Artistically Inked Stamp Set which is part of the Expressions In Ink Suite, I just can't get enough of this Suite! I love the large artistic stamp image it creates a card in no time. Using Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather Ink I've stamped the image onto the Basic White panel a number of times.

Also stamping the same image onto the two strips of Basic White Cardstock in Highland Heather Ink. I've used the Blending Brush and applied Fresh Freesia Ink onto the artistic strips. Layering the strips with Dimensionals and then placing them onto the panel. I've used the Stampin' Blends in the same colours for a added splattered effect.

The sentiment is from Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set stamped in Versamark Ink onto Basic Black Cardstock, adding White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. 

Adding Black Baker's Twine to finish off the panel and then adhered to Fresh Freesia Cardstock for the card base.

Global Design Project #GDP292 - Artistically Inked Birthday Card

 Hello and welcome

I've entered into the latest Global Design Project #GDP292 - Case The Designer - Susan Wong who is an amazing Artisan Designer and I just love her projects. I've CASED her card by using the layout which saves you a lot of time when it comes to creating a card. 

The card I've created is for a customer who requested a pink card for a friend, who just so happens she loves pink! I love pink too! Polished Pink is so beautiful with white and gold foil.

The whole Expressions in Ink Suite is my favourite from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue for 2021 to 2022. I just had to use it for this project. The Expressions in Ink 12" x 12" Specialty DSP is perfect for the background panel, I've used the Polished Pink with Gold Foil and White Paper.

I've used the large flowers and leaves detail die which is from the Artistic Dies, I've die cut using Basic White Cardstock and added Magenta Madness Ink with the Blending Brush. I've also added a little of the Gold Gilded Leafing to the die cut image.

To finish off the card I've added White Baker's Twine, stamped the sentiment in Magenta Madness Ink onto a strip of Basic White Cardstock and added Polished Pink In Color 2021 - 2023 Jewels.
