Gorgeous Grape – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

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 27 – Gorgeous Grape

Today I feature the Painted Lavender stamp set and coordinating dies with the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP) in a fun fold design.

Colour Combination - Gorgeous Grape

The front feature is stamped in second generation ink, meaning I stamped off on scrap paper before applying to the card. I also stamped this same image in full strength onto Basic White card and die cut it to add over the top on Dimensionals. The greenery is die cut in white and Pretty Peacock ink applied with a blending brush. Gorgeous Grape ink is also applied around all edges of the white layer. The lavender and butterflies have Wink of Stella on them for some sparkle.

Then continue to open to find a stamped panel, with some more images from the stamp set. These are coloured with Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape and Pretty Peacock, but wait, there is more. Open that panel up to reveal your message and some more gorgeous stamped images!

I haven’t put any sentiments on this card, as I’ll add the appropriate ones at the time when I know who I’m sending this to. I cased this design from Karen Philipp, a US Demonstrator.

Teenage Birthday Pop Up Giftcard Holder

25 October, 202325 October, 2023 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.

Week 26 – Gorgeous Grape

Today’s card was made for my niece who recently celebrated her birthday. As I never know what to get a teenager these days, I just give her cash or a gift card to spend on whatever she likes, so why not make a pop up gift card holder within the card!

I love this colour combination of Gorgeous Grape with Fresh Freesia and Basic White. The beautiful designer papers really help to bring this card together. The floral pattern is from the Delightfully Eclectic DSP pack and the others are part of the Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP pack.

The Share a Milkshake stamp set and coordinating dies were the perfect images for a teenager, right?!! I mean who doesn’t love a good milkshake?!

Those Deckled Rectangles were perfect choice for with a little bit of sponging around the border with the same colour ink, as it just blended in with the background.

On the inside is where the mechanism is for the gift card holder to slide up as the card opens. At the top, I added some basic white card to write a message. Those cute little hearts are from the Share a Milkshake dies too. I also gave them a kiss with Wink of Stella magic!!! The sentiment is from the Throughout the Year stamp set. The envelope was stamped with some more hearts in Gorgeous Grape.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you can join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Granny Apple Green.

On top of this is a piece of Highland Heather cardstock, embossed with the Leaf Fall 3D folder and then cut out using a circle die. I used a Sponge Dauber with Gorgeous Grape ink, to add colour around the edges. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, Gold Emboss Powder added and heat set. The coordinating dies cut it out before adding it with Dimensionals!

Between the layers, I’ve added some gold Simply Elegant Trim and a piece of Natural Woven Ribbon which was coloured with my Dark Highland Heather Blends Marker.

On the inside, a simple Basic White insert with a small strip of the Embossed Brushed Metallic cardstock added across the bottom.
