Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Last Dance

Hello and welcome,

It's Stamping 2nd Sunday latest blog hop for April and the theme is Last Dance for the Design Team. Our hop is a little bit different for this month instead of the list of names you can hop around by either going forwards or going backwards. To see Jay Soriano who is before me please click on his name and for Tami Hewlett who is after me. Please click on her name at the end of my blog.

Today you'll be seeing products that will be retiring as of the 3rd of May 2021 or unless SOLD OUT beforehand. Some of the products I've used have already finished like the Purple Posy Stampin' Blends and Cardstock they always seem first to go. You can visit my online store at the end of my blog to purchase any of the products that are available.

The In Colors for 2019 - 2021 are retiring and in particular Purple Posy is one of my favourite In Colors and I'm so sad to see it go. In fact all of them are so beautiful, I will miss them.

I've used the Bloom & Grow Stamp Set 149229 and Budding Blooms Dies 149548 for the main focus for my handmade thank you card and 3D project. I've always loved this stamp set as there are different flower images to colour in with I've chosen to colour them in with Purple Posy 154896 and Mango Melody 154888 Stampin' Blends. I'm really loving shades of yellows and mauves together they just brighten up my day!

Using Purple Posy Cardstock 150887 a half sheet folded in half as my card base, adding a panel of In Color 6" x 6" DSP 153071 in Purple Posy measures at 10.5cm by 12cm. Layering the stamp images of the flowers around the Stitched Nested Labels Dies 149638 in medium size 9.5cm x 5cm in Shimmery White Cardstock and lightly sponging So Saffron Ink onto the piece of Cardstock.

To match with the Gold Mini Pizza Box I've added a couple of the delicate gold pieces from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper 152493 to the card.

Another set retiring is the Beauty Abounds Stamp Set 148726 and the coordinating Butterfly Beauty Dies 151819. The smaller butterfly is in So Saffron and Gold foil for the die cut butterfly image.

The sentiment is from the Bloom & Grow Stamp Set, it's stamped in Versamark Ink onto Basic Black Cardstock with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. I've fussy cut out the Thank You.

The Gold Mini Pizza Box 152068 coordinates with the card by using the same colours throughout the project. I've rapped around the box using the Vanilla Ribbon from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack 152475 and tied it in a bow.

Using a square piece of DSP in Daffodil Delight which is from the Brights 6" x 6" DSP 152487 to form the base for the added layers.

The gold pieces from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper, Bloom & Grow Stamp Set and the Stitched Nested Labels Dies using a smaller die cut for the sentiment. I added a So Saffron Butterfly to finish off the box.

#TGIFC288 Designer Take Over

Hello and welcome,

I've decided to enter my project in the latest TGIF Challenge the theme for this week is Going In Circles which was chosen by designer Tammy Wilson.

I've created a baby card for our family hamper business YV Hampers for a customer and the Wildly Happy Stamp Set with the cute bunnies was perfect. I've used watercolor pencils in Basic Gray, Melon Mambo and used Wink of Stella for added sparkle.

The three stitched circles from the Stitched Shapes Dies are in Vellum, Purple Posy and Whisper White. I've sponged Highland Heather Ink with the Sponge Dauber onto the Whisper White circle and then added the bunnies.

Purple Posy is such a pretty colour, I've used the cute polka dot 6" x 6" DSP with a distressed look around the edges and a panel in the script writing 6" x 6" DSP.

I've used the Make a Difference Stamp Set and created my own sentiment in Black Memento Ink onto a strip of Whisper White Cardstock. Adding a little more black and white, I've used the Black & White Bakers Twine wrapped around the DSP and into a bow.

The final touch for a few more circles are the Purple Posy Sequins from the Woven Sequin Assortment.

Thank you for visiting my blog today and to see all of the amazing projects from the designers at TGIF Challenge click here.

Happy Stamping

Stampin' Up! Week 55 Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop Purple Posy

Hello and welcome back to my blog with the lovely ladies from Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. This will be our last colour hop to showcase.

Today is week 55 and we are playing along with one of the new In-Colours called Purple Posy for 2019-2021.

This new colour is available to purchase in Stampin’ Blends, Cardstock, Ribbon, DSP and much more. I’ve created a card for this week using the new In-colour.

The idea that I had for this card is nothing like what I had pictured in my head. I think after last weeks big creative week with all those cards that I made, I just went blank and nothing was coming to me. Has this every happen to you?

Any way here’s my card, so I went back to using the Free As A Bird Bundle which I always love to use. I stamped the image on Whisper White Cardstock and coloured in using my Stampin’ Blends: Purple Posy, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow and Old Olive. I fussy cut the images out and I leave a white line around the image.

I wanted the birds to stand out from the card so I used Basic Black Cardstock, Stitched Nested Labels Dies and Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder.

I recently received the Bird Ballad Trinkets as a gift from Claire Daly and I’ve been wanting to use them on a card. Don’t they just go so nicely with the Basic Black Cardstock and Linen Thread?

To finish off the card I layered the layers with Stampin’ Dimensionals and I heat embossed with White Embossing Powder on Basic Black Cardstock for the sentiment.

Please visit Catherine’s blog where you’ll find the links to the other participants.

Thank you for visiting my latest blog and I hope you've enjoyed my card using Purple Posy.

If you would like a new catalogue or the Free As A Bird Bundle, please contact me today and I would be happy to send a catalogue out to you.

Happy crafting

Vicki

Stampin' Up! 2019 - 2020 New Catalogue Blog Hop

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative products using supplies from the upcoming 2019 - 2020 annual catalogue. If you would like a copy of the brand new annual catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you.

I will be sharing with you the new In-Colours for 2019 – 2021 and the type of products that available. They are Rococo Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy. I just love the names that Stampin’ Up! come up with.

The colours come in Ink, Cardstock, Designer Series Paper 6” x 6”, Ribbon, Stampin’ Write Markers and Faceted Dots. I’ve created theses five cards using the Free As A Bird Stamp Set and coordinating Stitched Nested Labels Dies.

Each card that I’ve created shows some variation of colour and texture with different materials.

Rococo Rose

The birds have been stamped in Stazon Jet Black Ink on Shimmery White Cardstock. I used my Aqua Painter to lightly colour the birds and flowers in.

Terracotta Tile

The In-Colour DSP 6”x6” has 40 sheets, 4 each of 2 double sided designs. The ½” Scalloped Linen Ribbon is woven ribbon with colourful scalloped edges.

Pretty Peacock

Seaside Spray

All the new Inks are just so beautiful to work with, but due to the quality issues with Purple Posy it is currently unavailable in the Ink pad and Ink Refill. Stampin’ Up! are working with the supplier to solve this issue as soon as possible. I will be very happy once this colour is available. The Cardstock etc…. is just so pretty. I used Highland Heather for the birds and I tried to keep it as close as I could to the Cardstock, DSP and Ribbon.
