Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #33 Old Olive

Our thirty third colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is old olive from the regals collection. I have chosen old olive, flirty flamingo and poppy parade from the color coach to work with today with a background of balmy blue added in as well.


I have focused on using the incredible like you stamp set for my card with some die cut shapes and fussy cutting as well. The inspiration for today's card came from the Occasions Catalogue on page 21 (showing what the incredible like you kit cards look like when made up.) 



For the inside of the card I used another one of the flowers and die cut leaves and also stamped the sentiment "celebrate your day" from the FREE sale-a-bration stamp set hello cupcake.

Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue Blog Hop

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects using product from the occasions catalogue. The occasions catalogue is current now until June 3rd. Be sure to request your copy of the catalogue today (along with the sale-a-bration brochure).

Did you know that sale-a-bration is also a great time to join our fabulous team. Ask anyone on the blog hop if you’d like more details. 

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


Above, you may have noticed that I briefly mentioned sale-a-bration before. Sale-a-bration is a fabulous promotion that Stampin' Up! runs once a year (from January 3rd - March 31st, 2019) and with sales of $90+ FREE sale-a-bration products is earned. I have used some of the FREE sale-a-bration Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper on my card today. If you love the designer series paper, don't wait, put in your $90+ order today. 

All the sheets in the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper


If you happen to be my mum reading this post, please forgot come mothers day that you have seen this card and act surprised in May! For the moment, be happy that I am super prepared and organised and have made your you card in January!

I have made a floating pop up card in a box card featuring the fabulous new butterfly beauty thinlet dies. The butterfly beauty die is a two step layering die and actually cuts out a much larger butterfly than what I have used (I have just cut away the excess with my paper snips). The largest butterfly is 9.8 x 13cm and the thinlet dies come with 20 dies!


I have also used the well said bundle (well said stamp set and well written framelit dies) for my happy mother's day sentiment. I love how these combined products, 51 stamps and 24 dies work so well together to create many sentiments and phrases for lots of different occasions. I have used them on many cards already and they will be getting a lot more use during the occasions catalogue period.  


I die cut the "happy sentiment three times and layered each one on top of each other to make the word appear bolder and stand out more.


I made my own cloud background panel using the big shot and up & away thinlet dies (and the multi purpose adhesive sheets made sticking the clouds down simple!)


I finished off the back off the card with basic stamping (again from the well said stamp set) and some fussy cutting from the botanical butterfly designer series paper to match the card front. 


If you'd like a copy of the Occasions catalogue (and sale-a-bration brochure) I have a request catalogue tab at the top of the page (under the pink/grey Ros Davidson banner) and you can also find more information about joining the Art with Heart team in the same location under the Join to Save tab. 

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

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #32 Night of Navy

Our thirty second colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is night of navy from the neutrals collection. I have chosen night of navy, calypso coral and mango melody from the color coach to work with today.


With my selected colours from the colour coach and garden impressions 6" x 6" designer series paper I made a bargello panel. I was testing out a design for an ATC swap I was making with fellow demonstrators and didn't want my design to go to waste (hence the panel on this card). I'll blog the ATC's in a week or so when I receive them back. A quick frame with the new rectangle stitched framelits from the Occasions Catalogue and the card was very quick to come together after I had made the bargello panel. Have you made a bargello panel before?


For the inside of the card I used the remaining portion of the panel I had left over and die cut out a flower from the may flowers framelits and finished it off with a basic rhinestone jewel. I have intentionally left the inside of the card very basic, so it can be used for any occasion.

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.

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!

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #28 Melon Mambo

Our twenty eighth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is melon mambo from the brights collection. I have chosen melon mambo, mango melody and pool party from the color coach to work with today.

I've used the amazing new beauty abounds cling mount stamp set and butterfly beauty thinlets dies from the beauty abounds bundle from the upcoming occasions  catalogue that is released on January 3rd, 2019. Isn't the butterfly thinlets amazing? I didn't on this card but in future, I will be die cutting the butterflies with the multipurpose adhesive sheets on the back (of the cardstock) to make them much easier to adhere in place, as sticking the finer details of the butterflies down was interesting! 
I also used one of the many textured stamps from timeless textures to add some interest to the mango melody cardstock which is a great way to add the look of texture but without any bulk. 


I've decorated the inside of the card using the larger of the two butterflies that I have trimmed down with my paper snips (so it is not so large!) I have left the inside sentiment free as with the card being a for you card, I wanted to keep it neutral for any occasion.
