This small gift bag is made using a piece of 6″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, inspired by Ronda Wade in the US. She has the most amazing projects on her facebook live page.
I have used the stunning Petal Promenade DSP and fastened it with a tiny paperclip with a big bow tied to it. Inside, I bought my lovely friend some earrings for her birthday and this was the perfect gift wrapping!
You may recognise the envelope which is from the Hugs from Shelli Paper Pumpkin Kit, available now to purchase. I’m not normally a kit buyer, but I actually ordered 3 of these!!!! It comes in this stunning box (which is a keeper in itself).
This elegant, vintage-themed kit evokes nature journals from days gone by. Conceptualised and developed by board chair and cofounder Shelli Gardner for Paper Pumpkin. Includes an exclusive stamp set, paper and crafting materials to create 12 cards (3 cards of 4 unique designs), 12 exclusive, coordinating envelopes, and a Classic Stampin’ Spot. Coordinating colours: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla. Only available while stocks last!
Welcome back to another Art With Heart Team Colour Creations weekly Blog Hop. Today we are featuring our 48th colour; Soft Sea Foam. Wow, only a couple more weeks to go!
I’m using the Note cards & Envelopes for this card, with the lovely Wood Textures DSP which will be retiring shortly, so if you love it too, you need to get it now before it’s gone.
This stamp set from the Occasions catalogue, Let it Ride will be carrying over into the new Annual catalogue and it’s a beauty!
I glued the Wood Textures DSP to the front of the Note card and the flap of the envelope.
I started with a piece of 2.5″ x 3.5″ white card and stamped the images in Memento Black ink. I used a sponge dauber to add the sky (Balmy Blue) and the grass (Soft Sea Foam). The horse was coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers.
Once it was all coloured, I rubbed all 4 edges along the Versamark inkpad and added Gold Emboss powder before heat setting it. If you follow my blog, you will notice I use this technique quite a bit, I just love the look!
I then mounted it onto some Soft Sea Foam card and glued it onto the note card. I stamped the trees on the back of the envelope and on the inside of the card.

Tonight’s card is using some soon to retire products from the Annual catalogue. This stunning Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper is glorious and makes me smile with all all those gorgeous blooms. I can almost smell them!
The colours are also soon to retire, so if you love them too, you need to get them before they are gone. Tranquil Tide, Fresh Fig and Powder Pink are three of the In Colours of 2017-2019. I just love the 3 of them together.
This Dotted Tulle ribbon will also retire and it has been super popular with its softness and dotted pattern. The sentiment is stamped on white card and the 2″ circle punch to cut it out. Then I layered it onto a Fresh Fig Starburst punched piece.
This card is a Trifold card which Ronda Wade shared recently, but I have altered the measurements for our Australian card sizes. You can see how it opens here:
I just love how pretty this paper is, so I didn’t want to cover it up! Even the marble pattern on the inside gives it extra glamour!
Measurements:
5⅝” x 12” piece of Designer Series paper and score at 4” and 8”.
Place 3¾” x 5⅜” white card inside centre panel to write on.
Centre the folded DSP onto Tranquil Tide card base of 4⅛” x 5⅞” for extra sturdiness.
2″ circle punch & Starburst punch for embellishment with ribbon tied behind.
Use left over DSP Strip to decorate the inside of the card or envelope!

Welcome back to another Art With Heart Team Colour Creations weekly Blog Hop. Today we are featuring our 47th colour; So Saffron.
I have gone with a patchwork design this week, using up some soon to retire Designer series paper, Garden Impressions.
I was inspired by a bag that my gorgeous Mother-in-law made for me recently. Isn’t is stunning?!!! I’m such a lucky girl.
I have used the Around the Corner stamp set with the Garden Impressions DSP. It is just some simple squares and cutting to put it all together. The Night of Navy ink looks fab with So Saffron!
The background of the card base, I actually embossed with the SubtlesTextured Impressions Embossing folder through the Big Shot.
On the inside I added some Whisper White card and cut a couple of squares of the DSP and then cut them in half again on the diagonal to glue into each corner.

Welcome back to another Art With Heart Team Colour Creations weekly Blog Hop. Today we are featuring our 46th colour; Smoky Slate.
I have gone with a Monotone card using this gorgeous Wonderful Romance stamp set and the coordinating Wonderful Floral Framelits (both products are retiring on 3 June unless sold out prior) so make sure you add them to your shopping cart now!
The card base is Smoky Slate with a layer of Whisper White with 1″ panels in the above colours.
Then I stamped the images in Stazon ink and used the AquaPainter to watercolour the images with ink refills. I also added Wink of Stella to the flowers and those tiny leaves. I love those black embossed die cut leaves behind for a dramatic effect!
I added some bling with basic rhinestones to the centre of each flower!

My project today is not a card, but some cute little kangaroo earrings that I made to wear to the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Live event in Auckland last week. Being Anzac Day today, I wanted to share these gorgeous Aussie animals in my post!
I used the Animal Friends Thinlits dies to cut the kangaroo from some Black Shrinky Dink Plastic I got from eBay. I then used the Heat Tool to shrink them. Be careful when you do this, they curl up fast and as you can see on one of them, the tail curled right up.
Welcome back to another Art With Heart Team Colour Creations weekly Blog Hop featuring our 45th colour; Shaded Spruce. Wow, can you believe there are only 5 more colours to go?!
How cool is this tropical card using lots of the Tropical Escape DSP, some simple stamping and some embossing to add some shine!
That large leaf is stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and then I used a sponge dauber to add some extra tone with Shaded Spruce ink around the edges before stamping it onto some White card.
How beautiful does that copper embossed flower look on the Petal Pink card stock? It looks even better in real life, as the card stock has similar tones! I have popped these stamped pieces up on dimensionals.
and because that copper embossed flower looked so good, I did another one for the inside with some more DSP!

Tonight’s card is the same style as the one I showed you recently. You can see it here. However this one opens in landscape, rather than portrait, but it is the same concept!
I began with Poppy Parade card: 21cm x 14.8cm folded in half.
The DSP Layer: 10cm x 14.3cm is glued to the card front and then the circle punch is used to punch the window. The sentiment is stamped and a few different punches were used to layer it. The Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folder was used for added interest on the Poppy Parade Story Label punched piece.
The inside panel is 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 3/4″, 2 3/4″, 3 1/2″. Before adhering it into the card, I added a little die cut bird and ‘thanks’ and stamped Heartfelt in Poppy Parade ink. I also stamped the leaves directly onto the insert card. Then I stamped two of the flower images and die cut them before gluing them down.
Here is another angle so you can see how the inside works. I love how the sentiment sits on that panel when you open the card!

Welcome to another Art With Heart Team Colour Creations weekly Blog Hop featuring our 44th colour; Sahara Sand. This is a light colour that goes with anything!! I have paired it up with Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White.
I love how this bundle has framelits for cutting out the stamped images, but also dies that emboss the card stock – see those Sahara Sand leaves?!!!!
I love that Braided Linen Thread which is super soft and very easy to tie in a knot.
On the inside of the card I added the simple sentiment, which is so true for why I have made this card. It’s going to be one of the many thank you cards I am needing to make at the moment to send to people who have been so generous in helping me regain my independence.
