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! 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! Gorgeous Leaves For You Card

Today, we have week 16 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 Kate Morgan's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, early espresso. 
I have chosen early esspresso, coastal cabana and garden green from the colour coach to work from this week. 
My card today was CASED from the July - December 2021 mini catalogue, page 70 ©2020 Stampin' Up!® or I have it shown just below.


I have stamped the leaves from gorgeous leaves stamp set in garden green and coastal cabana and die cut them out with intricate leaves dies. I also die cut out other leaf shapes in garden green, coastal cabana and cherry cobbler. Branches were cut in early espresso and a large maple shaped leaf in brushed metallic cardstock. Playful alphabet dies were die cut with foam adhesive sheets on the back so they would be popped up on the card. Remember when using fine die cuts, use adhesive sheets to make them easy to adhere in place. The brushed metallic adhesive backed dots were added as the finishing touch to the card front.

Inside card - The dotted stamp is stamped with the first impression stamped off on scrap paper and then the second on the basic white cardstock (so a lighter image appears). A stamped leaf and die cut finishes off the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Summer Shadows Dies Any Occasion Card

Today, we have week 14 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 Diane Furniss' blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, crushed curry.
I have chosen crushed curry, granny apple green and gorgeous grape from the colour coach to work from this week. 

For my card today, I basically CASED my card from last week's crumb cake blog hop except instead on a tone on tone design, I went with a bright, inlaid design and rotated the card 90 degrees. I used a basic black outline and filled it in with crushed curry, gorgeous grape and granny apple green inlaid pieces with adhesive sheets on the back of each die cut piece. I filled in some blank spaces with rhinestone basic jewels. I left the card with no sentiment so it can be used for any occasion although I may add a sentiment later.

Just a reminder what last weeks card looked like:


Here is this week's card:

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish and Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks Birthday Card

Today, we have week nine 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 Michele Taylor's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, calypso coral. 
I have chosen calypso coral, crushed curry and bermuda bay from the colour coach to work from this week. 

For my card today it actually came together rather quickly which to be honest, can be unusual. I know some other demo friends where struggling with their calypso Coral creations and as I had left my creating till late thanks to watching the Olympics I was pleased to not struggle. Thanks to the "plenty of patterns decorative masks", "blending brushes" and my chosen colour coach colours it was a breeze to create my card. I blended bermuda bay ink into crushed curry ink and finished off by adding in the calypso coral ink. All of this ink blending was done on basic white cardstock.   
I heat embossed the "happy" sentiment in white embossing powder on basic black cardstock and stamped the "birthday" portion in calypso coral ink onto basic white cardstock. Both are raised up with stampin' dimensionals. I finished off the card front with some matte black dots.
