2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 16 – Calypso Coral

Today I feature the Latte Love bundle and the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper in this fun fancy fold card.

The card base is layered with patterned paper from the A Little Latte DSP. The two circles are diecut from Spotlight on Nature dies, the larger ink blended with Calypso Coral ink. The smaller one has some second generation coffee splashes in Pecan Pie ink. The sentiment is also stamped in Pecan Pie ink and fussy cut. The cup and coffee beans are diecut directly from the DSP!

There are two larger wings and two smaller wings to create the butterfly effect. All the decorating inside is using the DSP, some Silver Foil for the spoon, diecut ‘happy birthday’ using the Alphabet A La Mode dies and a stamped sentiment in the top corner!

Abundant Beauty in Calypso Coral

2023-2024 AWH Colour Creations header

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 16 – Calypso Coral

Today’s card uses the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks that will be available in the upcoming Mini catalogue (6 Sept – 3 Jan). I love that there are 7 masks in the pack and they are only $18.50. Four of them make up the sunflowers, the other three are snowflakes, autumn leaves and houndstooth patterns.

They are so easy to line up when using the notch on top left of each mask and they are numbered!

I started by placing a piece of Basic White card on my Silicone Mat Sheet and using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks for the sunflowers first. I used Flirty Flamingo with Calypso Coral and then moved to the leaves using Boho Blue and Misty Moonlight. These were also used in the centres of the flowers. Once I was happy with the colours, I ran it through my Embossing Machine in the Distressed Tile 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I roughed up the edges with the blade of my Paper Snips. I wrapped some Linen Thread around the lower section 3 times and tied in a bow. I adhered this to a narrow matt of Misty Moonlight card, then onto my Calypso Coral card base.

The sentiment from the Level Complete stamp set was heat embossed in White Emboss Powder and cut using a small die from the Something Fancy dies. This was popped up on Dimensionals. Some Iridescent Pastel Gems were added last.

On the inside, I used a Sponge Dauber with Calypso Coral ink around the edges. I did some more blending with the masks in the corners. The sentiment from Phrases for All, was inked using sponge daubers to apply the ink to the stamp, then onto the card.

Happiness Abounds with Calypso Coral

20 July, 202219 July, 2022 craftwithkate

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 12 – Calypso Coral

Tonight’s card is using the Happiness Abounds Bundle as the focal point, with the Charming Sentiments Bundle and the Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper. I started with a piece of Pretty Prints DSP and cut a 1″ strip off the left side. This was flipped over and both pieces glued onto a scrap piece of white card. I ran this through the Stampin Cut & Emboss machine with the Fern 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I added a strip of Gold Shimmer Ribbon down the join of the Patterned paper and secured the ends on the back. I punched each corner with the Very Best Trio Punch before gluing it to a Basic Black card base. (Oops, look at those punched corners… they are not identical. Apparently we need to turn one side upside down to punch to get the same result). I must remember that for next time as I didn’t even notice until someone pointed it out to me!

Next, I stamped the flowers and leaves in Memento ink and cut them out with the coordinating dies. These are coloured with Blends Combo Markers; Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron & Petal Pink. I added some Wink of Stella to the centres but unfortunately it is really hard to photograph. The flowers and leaves are added to the card with Tombo Multipurpose Glue and Dimensionals.

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and melted the powder using the Heat Tool. The coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes dies cut out the sentiment and this was added with a Black Dimensional.

I tied a Gold Ribbon bow and added it with Glue Dots and finished off with a few Brushed Brass Butterflies.

On the inside I placed a strip of DSP down the side of the White insert and some leaves.

Markers for Colouring

Blendabilities

2 June, 201431 May, 2014 craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

If you don’t know it yet, I brought home lots of yummy new products from the Stampin’ Up! Convention which will be available in the new 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue.

Over the next month or so, I will share with you, loads of ideas created using some of the new products. Are you excited??!!

Well here is the first one ~ Blended Bloom Stamp coloured with Blendabilities (alcohol based ink), ideal for shading!

Blended Bloom Blendabilities

The card base is Pear Pizzazz cardstock. The Blended Bloom is stamped with the new Black Memento Ink on Whisper White cardstock. I coloured the image with the new Calypso Coral Blendabilities and used my So Saffron & Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Markers for the centre. I then fussy cut the image.

I stamped the leaves (from Kinda Eclectic Stamp Set) in Pear Pizzazz ink onto Whisper White cardstock and layered it to the base with dimensionals. I added the Blended Bloom image with dimensionals also.

Here is a close up of the image.

Blendabilities Blended Bloom

The ribbon is Victoria Crochet Trim layered over Natural Chevron Ribbon and tied in the centre with a piece of Calypso Coral Twine and adhered to the card with glue dots.

I am in love with Blendabilities and cannot wait to add more colours to my collection.

What Sets Them Apart:

The Stampin’ Up! rectangular barrel keeps your markers from rolling away!
Flat storage helps to maintain the life of each marker.
Each marker comes with a tip on each end: brush and fine.
Marker tips are made of nylon, which is superior to polyester which can fray.
Colour coded caps.
Stampin’ Up! markers coordinate wonderfully with our cardstock, and can be used with transparent sheets.
