Stampin' Up All Adorned Thank You Card

Using the very versatile all adorned stamp set with the balmy blue colour coach, I came up with this square card below. I've used the bottom combination from the colour coach: balmy blue, poppy parade and crushed curry.
I think this balmy blue card could be a favourite of mine, as I've used it a couple of times before. Once here on the initial balmy blue colour creations post and another time here, where I used the same colour combination as today. 


I have stamped the triangle corner stamp on 3 3/4" square cardstock with the stamparatus which made making this card a breeze. Stamp the design once, rotate the cardstock 90 degrees and stamp and repeat until all 4 corners are stamped. Simple matting, die cutting and a bit of glimmer paper and a very simple card that looks more complicated than it really is. 


You can earn the all adorned stamp set for free if you have an order of $90+ before P & H. Available now until March 31st whilst stock lasts. Order here today.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #36 Petal Pink

Our thirty sixth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is petal pink from the subtles collection. I have chosen petal pink, soft suede and pear pizzazz from the color coach to work with today.


I used the colours today to create a soft looking sympathy card. It's often a card I find difficult to make and not one I stockpile and keep many in my stash of ready made cards. I again used my favourite bundle from the Occasions Catalogue, well said bundle (I am getting good milage from this bundle!)


I do like how changing the sentiment on this card can result in making cards for other occasions. I have made three different cards very quickly and with not a lot of extra effort.

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.

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.

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 - #26 Lovely Lipstick

Our twenty sixth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is lovely lipstick from the 2018 - 2020 in color collection. I have chosen lovely lipstick, pineapple punch and basic grey from the color coach to work with today.
I've used the fun colour combination today to create a camera birthday card. Perfect for the selfie tween and teen birthdays my kids go to. The envelope punch board came in handy to create the base of my camera. I started with a piece of basic gray cardstock 12cm x 8cm (4 3/4" x 3 3/16") and the envelope punch board. I made a tab at the top by lining up the cardstock (the left hand side) 3.8cm (1 1/2") and punched (then I flipped the card over and repeated it on the other side to create an even tab.) Trim off the excess cardstock using paper trimmer and round the corners (if you wish). I added a strip of 5cm (2") wide designer series paper for added colour.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #24 Highland Heather

Our twenty fourth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is highland heather from the subtles collection. I have chosen highland heather, melon mambo and pumpkin pie from the color coach to work with today.


This week I have a card using the fabulous hostess stamp set artfully folded which is found on page 228 of the catalogue in the just for hosts section of the catalogue. Did you know if you host a party with minimum $250 in sales (or place an order of $250+) you earn a minimum of $25 stampin rewards? These stampin' rewards can be spent on ANYTHING but I used them to purchase the artfully folded stamp set for $17!


I kept the inside of the card simple as the sentiment used on the outside could be used for various occasions

Our twenty second colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is grapefruit grove from the 2018 - 2020 collection. I have chosen grapefruit grove, merry merlot and pool party from the color coach to work with today.


I mixed grapefruit grove and pool party with the angled backgrounds technique to come up with todays card. I threw in falling flowers and graceful garden stamp sets along with some gold foil and a merry merlot die cut to complete the card.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #21 Granny Apple Green

Our twenty first colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is granny apple green from the brights collection. I have chosen granny apple green and highland heather from the color coach to work with today. I couldn't make balmy blue work with the other colours I have chosen so I left it out.


I used serene garden stamp set mixed with stampin' blends and the happy birthday thinlets for my card, keeping it very simple and finishing it off with basic rhinestone jewels. A touch of wink of stella on the butterfly adds a tiny bit of bling. 


I have been quite busy of late and it was late at night when I finished this creation (not long before this blog hop) and I sadly didn't make the time to decorate the inside. Now that I have packed up the supplies, I have to go back and finish the inside of the card. Lesson learned, decorate the inside no matter how busy you or (or how late at night it is!)
