Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked Hello Card

Today, we have week 19 of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Andrea Sargent's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, gorgeous grape. 


I had trouble choosing my trio of colours from the swatch this week so I made two cards. I went with the top two sets of colours. Gorgeous grape, pool party, garden green for one card and gorgeous grape, early espresso, granny apple green for the second card. Both cards are practically the same except for the colour choices.
I have used the artistically inked stamp set and artistic dies and made two hello cards. I added in some copper foil from the brushed metallic foil from the July - December mini catalogue and some champagne rhinestone basic jewels. 


With decorated envelope - I used the large watercolour image randomly over the envelope flap

Stampin' Up! Delicate Baubles Christmas Split Card Where I CASED Myself

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Andrea Sargent's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For my card tonight I have CASED a card I made a few weeks back. It is a split card featuring the delicate baubles die and I have used whimsy and wonder DSP this time. I have used a basic black die cut outline and filled it with mint macaron whimsy and wonder DSP, misty moonlight and so saffron cardstock. I added basic rhinestone jewels in the centre of the what I am calling, the star sparkles. The rest of the split panel card also features the whimsy and wonder DSP. The sentiment is typed on my computer and die cut out with the messages die.

Inside card - I stamped a sentiment from Holly Jolly wishes so it wouldn't be seen when the card was closed and the tree is from Christmas tree dies

Stampin' Up! No Occasion Delicate Dahlias Card

With sale-a-bration ending today, I had one last play with delicate dahlias stamp set. I also had a play with the soft pastels. They are heaps of fun to play with and at $15.75 (AUD), they aren't expensive to grab a pack and have a go! 


I used the soft pastels to create the dahlias/leaves on the left hand vertical panel by using the distinctive stamps and I covered the panel with faux silk technique for added interest which also softened the images even more. I stamped the line art image in crushed curry ink on crushed curry cardstock for a tone on tone look and stamped both the line art image and the distinctive image for the main focal crushed curry image, which I then fussy cut out. I raised the fussy cut out image on stampin' dimensionals. Two leaves have been stamped in mossy meadow and also fussy cut out. They have been stacked up and adhered behind the raised dahlia. I had used gold pearls I found in my stash to complete the card front.

Stampin' Up! Triple Point Textures & Frames Birthday Card

Today, we have week 18 of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Sharon Davern's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, garden green. 
I have chosen garden green, melon mambo and coastal cabana from the colour coach to work from this week. I also added in some so saffron and basic gray. 

For my card tonight, I used the sale-a-bration products textures and frames stamp set and be dazzling speciality paper. If you are wanting to grab your own textures and frames stamp set, dazzling speciality paper or any of the other sale-a-bration products, sale-a-bration ends tomorrow, Thursday September 30th so get your orders in ASAP, to earn your free products.

I have made a triple point birthday card. I love the playfulness of the textures and frames stamp set and it creates some great backgrounds and I think it suits a triple point card well. I embossed my garden green cardstock with merry melody 3D embossing folder to play on the birthday theme. It is a great Christmas embossing folder but I very much like it for birthdays. I've used holiday rhinestone basic jewels on the garden green cardstock for some added bling as well. Later on you will see I have also stamped the envelope with the textures and frames stamp set. Very easy to do when you have the stamps and ink pads out when you are making the card.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Prints Pocket Card

Tonight I am joining some fellow demonstrators on a Christmas blog hop. We aim to bring you Christmas inspiration every Monday evening right through to Mid December!
You may have found me via Sharon Davern's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

My card today is a CASE from fellow SU demo, Libby Fens in Canada. Her original design is a double pocket card but I have only made mine a single pocket today.
I have scored my DSP and adhered it to a real red card base, and then die cut out the layering circles dies from basic black cardstock and gold foil. They are adhered together and popped up with stampin' dimensionals. A reindeer has been fussy cut from the Peaceful Prints DSP and adhered onto the layered/scalloped circles. Stampin' Up! also sells a deer builder punch for $31 that coordinates perfectly with this DSP and a stamp set in the July - December mini catalogue but I don't own it (hence the fussy cutting). I have heat embossed a sentiment from Be Jolly sentiment and used stampin' dimensionals to pop that up as well at the bottom right of the card. Brushed metallic adhesive-baked dots have finished the pocket card off. You will notice, I have fussy cut out another reindeer and used it to decorate the insert. I have also used additional DSP to cover the back flap of the envelope.
