Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #31 Mossy Meadow

Our thirty first colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is mossy meadow from the neutrals collection. I have chosen colours from all over the color coach to work with today. I have used pear pizzaz and coastal cabana (both in the watercolored background), flirty flamingo, rich razzleberry, mango melody and mossy meadow all in the die cuts. It appears, the only colour from the colour coach I haven't used is so saffron!

Like I mentioned last week, that the well written framelits from the occasions catalogue are a new favourite of mine and I couldn't help but use them again this week on my card. At this stage, I have left the inside of the card completely blank other than a flirty flamingo matt with a whisper white panel to write on. When I have worked out what occasion the card is being sent for I will finish the inside of the card. With the "hello friend" sentiment on the front of the card, the inside can be used for many different occasions I think. It could be for a birthday, a thinking of you, get well soon, miss you or a whole list of others I haven't even listed.

Stampin' Up! occasions catalogue card swap featuring Geared Up Garage bundle

To mark the beginning of the new occasions catalogue I joined with 8 fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators and we each made 9 cards and traded designed for our displays to share with customers and our teams. Here's my card:

I used one of my favourite techniques for the background which is similar to faux silk. I used the brown paper that comes with our Stampin' Up! orders and a glue stick and made a textured background. Isn't the texture it creates amazing? You can create a similar texture by using a brown paper lunch bag. Just make sure you scrunch it up into a ball first and flatten it out before adhering it to cardstock.

Shop now in my online store and don't forget to use this months hostess code for a free gift next month (if your order is under $250. If your order is over $250 don't use the hostess code as you earn hostess benefits on your own.)

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #30 Mint Macaron

Colour creations blog hop is back after a break for the Christmas holidays. Our thirtieth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is mint macaron from the subtles collection. I have chosen mint macaron, real red and pumpkin pie from the color coach to work with today.

For today's card I have used one of the fabulous FREE stamp sets available during sale-a-bration when you spend a minimum of $90 and teamed it with my favourite new framelits from the occasions catalogue, well written framelits (it you needed to know the name.) Expect to see me use these framelits a lot more!
