Art With Heart June Creative Showcase - New Catalogue Products

Welcome to the Art With Heart Team Creative Showcase. This month the team are featuring projects using their favourite products from the new Stampin’ Up! 2020-21 Catalogue. The new catalogue is full of amazing new stamp sets, some bundled with dies or punches. The range of kits, papers and accessories complete the range of products you will see featured in this Showcase.

The new Stampin' Up! products that I have chosen for my creations are just some of the new In-colors for 2020 - 2022 I've used Magenta Madness, Just Jade and Misty Moonlight. Stampin' Up! have two more new In-colors, they are Bumble Bee and Cinnamon Cider. My projects are showcasing different types of mediums such as paper, ribbon, Stampin' Blends and watercolour. 

Magenta Madness

The gorgeous stamp image and sentiment is from the Prized Peony Stamp Set. I just love this flower and the best part is you can colour it in by using the Stampin' Blends or you could watercolour it in too. There are also coordinating Peony Dies which have a number of dies to use and create with for your projects. The added bonus is when you purchase the two together you save 10% off when purchased as a bundle. 

Misty Moonlight

Next I wanted to create a watercolour washed background for the Peony, to do this I used Shimmery White Cardstock, wide bristle brush from the Water Painters and water. Firstly I like to place just water onto the panel of the Cardstock, before adding coloured ink with the brush. The wide brush is amazing and you can achieve so much ink onto the paper quickly. I added some ink splatter, by flicking the brush tip from the lid using the Stampin' Blends.

Just Jade

I've embossed the Coloured Cardstock with the new Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, it's so beautiful to show off an array of diamonds on the cardstock and I've layered it over the Smoky Slate card base. 

Also in the new 2020-2022 In-colors are 1/4" Twill Ribbon and I've layered it with a strip of the In Color 6"x 6" Designer Series Paper. Using the Heat Tool, I've heat set using the White Stampin' Emboss Powder for the sentiment. Layering the three pieces together with adhesive and Stampin' Dimensionals. The last added touch to my cards are the stunning Elegant Faceted Gems they are so beautiful and they come in Clear, Petal Pink and pearlescent white.

Week 3 Art With Heart Colour Creations weekly Showcase - Bermuda Bay

Hello and welcome to Week 3 with the Art With Heart Colour Creations weekly Showcase which the lovely Catherine Proctor will be running a weekly blog and with other members from the Art With Heart Team. This week we are featuring Bermuda Bay and I hope we will inspire you with our variations of this gorgeous colour.

Bermuda Bay is from the Brights Collection and comes in a range of Stampin' Up! products from the Classic Stampin' Pad, Cardstock, Stampin' Blends, DSP and more. It's such a bright happy colour which I've created for this Birthday card, combing Magenta Madness, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green. 

Bermuda Bay can be a strong solid colour as well as a soft subtle colour, which I've shown here by creating watercolour stripes on a panel of Shimmery White Cardstock. Using the large flat brush from the new Water Painters. I'm so in love with the new brushes and creating instant large stripes was fun!

The flowers are from the Blossoms in Bloom Stamp Set, I've used the two smaller flowers, stamped them in the above mentioned colours and fussy cut them out. I started to arrange the flowers on the piece of Shimmery White Cardstock and I thought how about a wreath! This way you can see the soft and solid colours combined together. 

The Magenta Madness works well with Bermuda Bay, so I've added a layer of Cardstock to the Bermuda Bay card base. The sentiment is also from the same stamp set, I've used Versamark Ink, White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. I like to add a thin strip of Cardstock under the greeting and it also finishes off the card nicely.

Please visit Catherine's Blog to see her creation and all the links are there as well, so you’ll be able to see everyone’s creations for this week’s showcase.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope you’ve enjoyed how I’ve used Bermuda Bay. Make sure you come back next week to see Blackberry Bliss in our projects.

Social Stamping Blog Host - Travel

Welcome to the latest Social Stamping Bog Host, this week we will be sharing our creations with the theme Travel. Thank you to Kelly Kent for organizing another amazing blog hop and with all these amazing women. Make sure you check out everyone’s blog to see their creations.

Oh how I would love to go away somewhere nice and warm on a holiday at the moment. Melbourne's weather has been so chilly lately, so a nice tropical island would be amazing! Times are very different with not even being able to travel outside of Victoria at the moment, hopefully one day this will change.

In Color 2020-2022 Magenta Madness

My card can be my dream that I'm on a tropical island and watching the beautiful colours of the sunset. I've used one of the new In Colors Magenta Madness it's such a pretty pink, I love it so much! The colours that I've used for the watercolour scene starting with the water are Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay. For the sky I've used So Saffron, Mango Melody and Magenta Madness blending the colours together with the new Water Painters using the large flat brush apply ink onto the Watercolor Paper. The new brushes are amazing, especially the flat brush.

The tropical island is from the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set and Tropics Dies, the palms are in Magenta Madness, for the flowers I've inked up a piece of Shimmery Whisper White Cardstock and using Magenta Madness and So Saffron ink to create a subtle look. The sentiment is die cut out twice and layered on a piece of Basic Back Cardstock, fussy cut out.

On the Thick Whisper White card base I've sponged a little of  Magenta Madness ink onto the Cardstock, layered with a smaller piece of Basic Black and Whisper White to finish off the card. This  gives a photograph look to the card.

Make sure you see everyone’s creative projects with the Travel theme in our latest Social Stamping Blog Host.

Stampin' Up! Prized Peony Bundle - Vintage Card

Hello! I just wanted to share with you an amazing new bundle that has just arrived and I'm so excited to share this with you!

It's the gorgeous Prized Peony Bundle and it's now available to purchase in the latest Stampin' Up! 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. Bundles are great as you save 10% when purchased together. Contact me here to find out more.

Peony Garden Suite page 82 Stampin' Up! 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue 

The Bundle comes from the Peony Garden Suite and I would have to say this is such a stunning suite. The colours are just gorgeous in the DSP, so are the Stamps, Dies, Embossing Folder and so much more.

Today's card is a little bit different as I've used Very Vanilla and Basic Black to create a Vintage card. I just love the diamond stamp which I've used to create the background panel and the large Peony stamp is beautiful just as it is. 

My latest favourite Embossing Folder is the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder and I've embossed the strip of Basic Black Cardstock. The Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim and Pearls are perfect with this set.

I'll be doing a Card Class with this set for sure!

Need a Stampin' Up! Catalogue or this Suite? You can contact me here and I'll be happy to help.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Happy Crafting

Week 2 AWH Colour Creations weekly showcase - Basic Gray

Hello and welcome to Week 2 with the Art With Heart Colour Creations weekly Showcase which the lovely Catherine Proctor will be running a weekly blog and with other members from the Art With Heart Team. This week we are featuring Basic Gray and I hope we will inspire you with our variations of this gorgeous colour.

Basic Gray is from the Neutrals Collection, it’s available in Ink, Cardstock and DSP. I’ve created my card using some of these products and I’ve matched it with Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose and Blushing Bride. Oh, did I mentioned Wink of Stella was used? There’s a lot of glitter on the flowers, but it’s hard to see when the card was photographed.

The card base is in Basic Gray and I layered it with a panel of DSP from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper, it’s just so stunning! Beautiful photographic images and visual textures which works well when creating your projects.

I recently received the Blossoms In Bloom Bundle, as I just couldn’t go past this stunning bundle and a saving of 10% when you buy the stamps and dies together. I’ve used Watercolor Paper to die cut out the larger dies images as well as the smaller dies too. The layered dies create depth when using different types of colour for your projects. I’ve used Rococo Rose Ink for a deeper colour and I lightly added Blushing Bride Ink for the top layer. Seaside Spray Ink was used for the leaves and single flower.

The sentiment is from the Blossoms In Bloom Stamp Set, I’ve used White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set using my Heat Tool. The Basic Gray Cardstock strip is layered over a strip of Whisper White Cardstock to make the greeting pop!

Please visit Catherine’s blog to see her creation and all the links are there as well, so you’ll be able to see everyone’s creations for this week’s showcase.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope you’ve enjoyed how I’ve used Basic Gray. Make sure you come back next week to see Bermuda Bay in our projects.

Creation Station June Blog Hop "A Man After My Own Heart"

Welcome to the latest Creation Station blog hop and today we will be sharing masculine theme cards or creations.

My projects for this theme will be combining Stampin’ Up! products from the new 2020 – 2021 Annual Catalogue. The In Good Taste Suite was on my must list in my preorder, this Suite has lots of rich textures and is so versatile. I’ve combined it with the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set which is a great set for masculine cards.

The colours I’ve used are Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso, Night of Navy and Crumb Cake. I really like Pretty Peacock for a masculine card as well as adding the more traditional colours. I’ve randomly stamped the feather stamp in Pretty Peacock Ink onto a panel of Pretty Peacock Cardstock and I’ve embossed it using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. Sponging around the edges of the Cardstock, this gives the card an even darker look.

The smaller panel of Pretty Peacock is embossed in the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and I've sponge around the edges. I like to add a few different layers and elements to the card. The large tree stump image is in Early Espresso and balances well against the wood elements from the In Good Taste Elements.

I just had to use the feather stamp again, but this time on watercolor paper. To create the watercolor feathers, I’ve used Pretty Peacock & Night of Navy Ink and brushed onto the watercolor paper. 

Once dried I then stamped the image and fussy cut it out. Adding sponged ink onto the edges, so no white was showing.

The sentiment is from the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set and die cut out with the coordinating Tasteful Labels Dies. Adding the natural Linen Thread and Braded Linen Trim to finish off the card.

To complement the card, I had a few extra elements left over, so I decided to make a gift box and use one of the Stampin’ Up! Mini Shipping Boxes.

 

I added the embossed Pretty Peacock Cardstock, large tree stump image, watercolor inked up feather and wood elements. The sentiment is from the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set and fits nicely in the die from the Tasteful Labels Dies. I’ve Secured the box up with the Braded Linen Trim to finish off.

Both of these creations would make a great masculine gift.

Be sure to visit everyone’s blog and see their amazing creations for the month of June. Make sure you came back for next month, for more inspiration and to see our creations.

Now it’s time to head on over to Kathy Brown Kartak to see her amazing project.

Thanks for stopping by!

Social Stamping Blog Host - New (Normal)

Welcome to the latest Social Stamping Bog Host, this week we will be sharing our creations with the theme New (Normal). Thank you to Kelly Kent for organizing another amazing blog hop and with all these amazing women. Make sure you check out everyone’s blog to see their new creations.

The theme being New well I just couldn’t go past the idea of new Stampin' Up! products which I recently received in my pre-order from the new Stampin’ Up! 2020 – 2021 Annual Catalogue. The project I’m going to show you is the new Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle. It wasn’t on my wish list at the start of seeing the Catalogue, but after seeing so many beautiful Sunflowers on Social Media. I just had to get this beautiful bundle and colour in the Sunflower with the Stampin’ Blends.

I’ve stamped the flower image in Mango Melody Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock and for the leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink.

The list of Stampin’ Blends for the flower – Mango Melody L&D, Daffodil Delight L&D, Pumpkin Pie L&D, Soft Suede L&D, Bronze and Mossy Meadow L&D. The leaves are in – Mossy Meadow L&D and Old Olive L&D. My craft desk was covered in Stampin’ Blends and it was so much fun colouring in and blending the colours together.

I wanted the flower to pop, so I used the dark wood panel of Early Espresso from the In Good Taste DSP and layered over the Early Espresso Cardstock card base.

The sentiment is from the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set, using White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and sealed with the Heat Tool. I’ve layered the strip of Basic Black Cardstock over a thin strip of Bumble Bee DSP, I really like the look of the new designs for the In Color 6”x6” DSP 2020-2022.  

To finish off the card, I’ve added a pressed wood leaf from the In Good Taste Elements and Linen Thread bow.

Make sure you see everyone’s creative projects with the New theme in our latest Social Stamping Blog Host.

Week 1 AWH Colour Creations weekly showcase Balmy Blue

Hello and welcome to Week 1 with the Art With Heart Colour Creations weekly showcase which the lovely Catherine Proctor will be running a weekly blog and other members from the Art With Heart Team. This week we start off with Balmy Blue and I hope we will inspire you with our variations of this beautiful colour.

Balmy Blue is from the Subtles Collection, it’s available in Ink, Cardstock, DSP, Blends and more. I’ve created a card using some of these products, I’ve match Balmy Blue with Night of Navy and Highland Heather.

I started off with the card base using Balmy Blue Cardstock, stamped the splatted stamp in Balmy Blue Ink on the Cardstock. The stamp is from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and is caring over into the new Stampin’ Up! 2020 – 2021 Annual Catalogue. I’m so happy to see this beautiful Stamp Set and coordinating Dies in the Annual Catalogue.

I’ve stamped both of the Poppy Stamps in Night of Navy Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock and coloured them in with the Stampin’ Blends using the light & dark Balmy Blue, light Night of Navy and light Highland Heather. The leaves are in Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends.

To create the striped DSP, I’ve used a panel of Whisper White Cardstock by mixing Balmy Blue Ink and Frost White Shimmer Paint onto an acrylic block, this gives the ink a pearl shine to it. Refer to the photo below.

Using the Paper Trimmer as a guidance, place the Cardstock under the ruler and use an Aqua Painter (which is now retired, but we have a new product called Water Painters) to create the stripes onto the Cardstock. See the photo below.

The sentiment is from the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set and is stamped in Night of Navy Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock.

Please visit Catherine’s blog to see her creation and the links to all of the other participants who have taken part in this week’s showcase.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope you’ve enjoyed how I’ve used Balmy Blue. Make sure you come back next week to see Basic Grey in our projects.
