Stampin' Up! Case The Catalogue Blog Hop

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects CASED from the annual catalogue. If you would like a copy of the 2018 - 2019 annual catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you.

You may have come to my blog from Andrea Roberts. Blog hops are full circles, so start blog hopping here and and the end of my post (and everyone else's) there is a link to the next post.

Did you know the meaning of CASE (in the craft world):
Copy and selectively edit
or
Copy and steal everything

In the case of the card I am sharing today, I have done some selective editing for my card. Remember, if you are going to CASE one of the many fabulous craft creations you see, please give credit to the original creator.
I have CASED the thank you card, from page 164 of the catalogue featuring the graceful glass suite. I had my regular class ladies make this card (and a few others featuring products from the graceful glass suite) and it was commented at various times, how relaxing colouring is. Do you find it relaxing?

Now, onto sharing my card with you...

Inside the card

Card I CASED

I hope my spin on the CASED card has inspired you to look at your annual catalogue as another resource other than a catalogue of products Stampin' Up! sell, and use it as a fabulous card magazine full of inspiration also.  

Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the very talented, Rebecca Jacovou.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #4 Berry Burst

Our fourth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "Berry Burst" from the 2017 - 2019 in color collection. I have chosen berry burst, blushing bride and mossy meadow from the color coach to work with today and I snuck in some mango melody as well (further inspired by another combination on the colour coach for berry burst).

I have chosen to make a bright, vibrant birthday card this week featuring falling flowers stamp set, watercoloring and dimension. I have stamped my large berry burst flowers twice and fussy cut the second layer and popped it up on top of the base flower for added dimension. I have also die cut the sentiment happy birthday three times and glued them all together for more dimension. Black embossing powder also helps the stamped images pop off the page.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #3 Bermuda Bay

Our third colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "Bermuda Bay" from the brights collection. I have chosen bermuda bay, crumb cake and blushing bride from the color coach to work with today (and I snuck in some pacific point as well).

My youngest nephew turns one this week and is having a "somebunny is turning one" themed party. I couldn't resist and had to make him a bunny card. I made what I am calling a "faux quilt" card because I used a quilting pattern as the basis for my card. This technique is a great way to use up a bunch of your scraps! I did add a row of stitching around the perimeter of the card to "finish" it off.
I used the same font that my sister used on his invitations called Sue Ellen Francisco to finish the card off.


Close up

Inside the card I again used the Sue Ellen Francisco font to type the birthday message and used the same printed bunny image (from the front sentiment) in the corner. I made the bunny image bermuda bay using the HEX codes that Stampin' Up! shared recently.

Try it Thursday #16 - Pineapple Gift Box

It was my SIL's birthday celebration this past weekend and we have a bit of a running joke in the family. If you don't know what you want, you get told you will receive a pineapple and a spoon. My SIL's wish list wasn't past on so I made her a pineapple (that hid money) and chocolate spoons as her gift. I used this link for my pineapple gift box.

The gift box was well received and will add to her collection of handmade boxes I have made her in the past.

Stampin' Up! Oh So Eclectic Birthday Card

Today's card is my rejected card from last nights basic grey colour collections blog hop. I thought it didn't have enough basic grey to me the focus as the main colour.

Inside card

What you do think, not basic gray enough?

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #2 Basic Gray

Our second colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "Basic Gray" from the neutrals collection. As with last week (and hopefully every colour creations blog hop) I am using the colour coach that Stampin' Up! supplied. I have chosen basic grey, pear pizzazz and poppy parade for my creation today.

The colour combination screamed an apple to me and I created a thank you card for my daughters teacher. I figured it doesn't hurt to be organised and early in the lead up to Christmas (the school year finishes in December here in Australia.) I had my daughter write "thank you" as the focal sentiment rather than using a stamp to create a personal touch. 

Running the apple shape through the big shot with the maps etc. dynamic textured impressions embossing folder adds a lot of interest and dimension to the card. Tone on tone basic gray stamping using lined alphabet also adds another layer of visual interest to the background.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #1 Balmy Blue

Today, I am taking part in the very first Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. Our first colour we are focusing on is "Balmy Blue". A new colour in the subtles collection.  
Stampin' Up! kindly supplied a link for an online colour coach and I used one of the selection of colours on the balmy blue swatch for todays card.

I used balmy blue, night of navy and granny apple green and here's the card I came up with. I'll be honest, it was a little difficult to work with the balmy blue as the only balmy blue product I had available at the time was cardstock. No inkpad, designer series paper etc. I love to ink the edges of all my cards and couldn't for this one. I have temporarily adhered my cards together (so when my inkpad arrives) I can ink the edges of the cardstock. 

I made my card neutral to keep the focus on the navy scallop panel. However, I did stamp the whisper white cardstock with the "scroll" from falling flowers and heat embossed with clear embossing powder to add a little interest. 

To get the night of navy scallop design, I used delightfully detailed laser cut speciality paper and a sponge brayer and re-coloured it.
I also used the rest of the scalloped panel and created a second card. This one I stamped happy birthday and kept it even simpler.
