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.

Art With Heart January 2020 Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop

Welcome to the first Art With Heart Blog Hop for 2020. This month we are featuring cards using the amazing products you can earn for free during our Sale-a-bration promotion.

Today I’ll be sharing with you two cards that I’ve created using Sale-a-bration items, I’ve combined the Happy Birthday To You 5 Cling Stamp Set and Golden Honey 12 Sheet 12”x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper. Each of these products are free when you spend $90.

The first card I’ve created is using only Black and Gold giving the card an elegant look. Using the Black & Gold foil Specialty DSP as the starting point for my card and layered on Basic Black Cardstock for my card base. I’ve then followed this through using Gold Foil with the second largest Die from the Stitched Nested Labels.

Using the cake stamp from the Happy Birthday To You Stamp Set, I’ve stamped the image in Versamark Ink, added Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. I also did this with the Happy Birthday greeting and the single flower image. The single flower is actually from the top flower that’s on the cake and I’ve fussy cut around the image.

There are coordinating Birthday Dies for this stamp set and will be available for customers as from February 4^th until March 31^st 2020. Demonstrators can order these items now. I’ve fussy cut around the embossed cake image, single flower and sentiment and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The second card is the exact same layout and the same Sale-a-bration products but I’ve used different colours, DSP and Ink.

The card base is Thick Whisper White, layered with the Black and White striped DSP and Whisper White Cardstock die cut out with the Stitched Nested Labels. I’ve then sponged So Saffron Ink with the Sponge Dauber onto the die cut piece.

The stamped cake image is stamped in Black Memento Ink and I’ve only coloured in the flowers using Stampin’ Blends in Daffodil Delight & Mango Melody. This makes the flowers pop away from the cake and I only wanted one colour with the Black & White card. The single flower has also been stamped in Black Ink and coloured with the Stampin’ Blends.

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark Ink onto Basic Black Cardstock, adding White Stampin’ Emboss Powder Cardstock and heat set with the Heat Tool.

All three items have been fussy cut out and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The next demonstrator to share their Sale-a-bration inspiration with you is Tina Gillespie

Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue Art With Heart Team Blog Hop Week 2

Hello and welcome,

We will be showcasing products from the new Holiday Catalogue from the lovely ladies at the Art with Heart Team blog hop.

I like having cards sometimes with minimum colour with card I decided to use only white, silver and a twinkle of red from the gorgeous Red Rhinestones.

The gorgeous Silver and White striped DSP is from the Feels Like Frost 6” x 6” Specialty Designer Series Paper. I used the other side of this DSP in last week’s card. I just love the beautiful soft colours on one side and silver foil on the other side.

I've used the Deer from Detailed Deer Dies which is available to purchase now from the Annual Catalogue. I’ve coordinated the Deer in Silver Foil to complement the DSP.

The sentiment is from a new stamp set called Itty Bitty Christmas and it comes in a bundle with Christmas Layers Dies. You are going to love this stamp set as it has 18 greetings to choose from and you will also save 10% off when it’s purchased in a bundle.

I’ve stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink on a strip of Whisper White Cardstock Embossed it with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it with the Heat Tool. The strip of the Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon is peaking just under the Cardstock.

The leafy foliage is from the Christmas Layers Dies using Whisper White Cardstock and die cut out. I’ve placed the Red Rhinestones to add some colour and bling.

I’ve used Whisper White Cardstock to die cut out with the second largest Stitched Nested Labels Dies, layered it under the Silver Metallic Thread before adding the Deer and white foliage. The card base is Thick Whisper White Cardstock.

Stampin' Up! Birthday Card, Pigment Sprinkles and Free As A Bird Bundle

Hello and welcome,

Today I will be sharing with you a card that I made for a friend who just loves yellow, so had to do a yellow card but also add some purple for contrast.

The Pigment Sprinkles had to be used as I hadn’t used Daffodil Delight & Mango Melody. I just love the bright colours from the Pigment. To use the water colouring I like to place a little of the powder onto a Clear Block with a little water and mix using the Aqua Painter.

Pigment Sprinkles

The yellows for the birds, flowers, Granny Apple Green for the branch and leaves. I’ve used Free as a Bird Stamp Set and the Stitched Nested Dies.

Free As A Bird

To make the birds stand out, I’ve used Gorgeous Grape and water coloured around the stamped image of the birds.

I used a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and spritzed water onto the paper. While the paper is wet I sprinkled a few drops of Daffodil Delight Pigment Sprinkles. The colour looks amazing once I was happy on how it all turned out.

To finish off the card I’ve layered the Watercolour Paper onto Mango Melody cardbase. The greeting is from the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set, I’ve used White Emboss Powder onto Basic Black Cardstock, heat embossed and then fussy cut around the greeting.

I hope you liked my card and thank you for visiting my blog today.

Tomorrow I will be back for a new and exciting Christmas blog hop! which I can’t wait to share with you.

Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI60

Welcome to my blog for the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI60. The colour palette for this challenge is – Petal Pink, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock and Blueberry Bushel.

For my creation I wanted to do some water colouring and use the beautiful set Bloom & Grow Bundle which is from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue.

I stamped the imaged in Stazon Jet Black Ink which is permanent ink and best used when water colouring. The image was stamped onto a piece of the new Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. It’s cold-pressed archival cotton paper, it comes in 10 sheets at 5” x 7”. I used Petal Pink and Terracotta Tile for the floral images. For the foilage I used Pretty Peacock and Blueberry Bushel with my Aqua Painter.

I wanted the stamped images to stand out, so by adding Blueberry Cardstock for the background this made them pop! I recently received the new Scripty 3D Embossing Folder, so I just couldn’t wait to use this on my card. I wrapped the Blueberry Bushel Ribbon around the Cardstock three times and adhered it with Tear & Tape so it was nice and secured.

I just love the font on the sentiment and in White Embossing Powder it stands out well against the Blueberry Bushel Cardstock. I then used the second largest Stitched Nested Die and die cut around the image.

Once I adhered the pieces together with Liquid Glue, Tear & Tape and Stampin’ Dimensionals and layered my card up. I wanted a little sparkle so I added the gorgeous Blueberry Bushel Noble Peacock Rhinestones to finish off my card.

Thank you for coming along and seeing my card today. I hope you’ve enjoyed my latest creation for the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge.

Happy Crafting,

Vicki Boucher

Stampin' Up! Free As A Bird Stamp Set and Stitched Nested Labels Dies

Today I wanted to share with you a card that I recently made for my daughter’s friend as her birthday is coming up soon.

The request was that I had to use blue for the card and I decided to use the new Bird Ballad Suite. This beautiful suite is available in the 2019 – 2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.

It includes the Free as a bird Stamp Set and Stitched Nested Labels Dies.

I stamped the bird and flower images with Memento Black Ink on Whisper White Cardstock. I coloured them in using Night of Navy light, Balmy Blue dark and light Stampin’ Blends. I fussy cut out the bird and flowers and layered them on the Stitched Nested Labels Die.

The Hello was stamped and then die cut out with the smallest Stitched Nested Die. Isn’t it the sweetest tiny die you’ve ever seen?

For the background I’ve created a light all over wash with my Aqua Painter in Balmy Blue ink on Shimmery White cardstock.

To finish off the card, I’ve used the Solid Bakers Twine in Whisper White. I wrapped it around the cardstock three times and added a bow.

I just the colour of the blues in the bird and I hope my daughter’s friend will too. Have I inspired you to create using this suite? The colours are endless to choose from with this stamp set. What would you choose?

Thanks for visting my blog today

Happy crafting

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.
