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 45 – Shaded Spruce

Today I feature the Mini Alphabet dies and the Paper Florist dies. I began by adding a piece of Adhesive sheet (your best friend when it comes to this!) to the back of some Basic White card before die cutting the Mini Alphabet. Once die cut, I popped out each of the letters and adhered the main panel to the Shaded Spruce card base. I coloured the letters, before removing the backing and adhering them back into place. The flowers were die cut and coloured the same way.

The Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers used to colour the letters and the flowers are: Lemon Lolly, Soft Sea Foam, Pool Party, Azure Afternoon, Fresh Freesia & Berry Burst. Some Wink of Stella is added to the centres.

On the inside, I used my Blending Brush to add some Shaded Spruce ink around the edges and stamped one of my favourite sentiments [Throughout the Year] and added some more flowers/leaves. The Adhesive-backed Shiny Sequins in the Lemon Lolly colour finishes the card off perfectly.

Week 34 – Petal Pink

This is such a pretty, peachy pink tone and I actually quite like it.

So for this card, I first selected one of the sheets from the Subtles 6″x6″ DSP that you can get as part of the joining special at the moment.

I used my snips by opening them up and using one blade to rough up the edges of the patterned paper and fold over the top corner, before gluing it to the Petal Pink card base.

I chose the Kangaroo & Company Bundle next, as I hadn’t inked it up since buying it last year, and it was time to have a play with this cute bundle.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to colour the kangaroo, so I took a piece of Shimmery White cardstock, and dragged the Petal Pink inkpad across it. I watched a Facebook Live recently over @theCraftyCarrotCo where they used this technique. I then stamped the Kangaroo image in Soft Suede ink 3 times, using the Stamparatus to get a nice, deep, rich colour, before die cutting it.

The hearts in the pouch are also stamped twice using the Stamparatus in Petal Pink on Shimmery White cardstock and cut out with the coordinating dies.

I used Stampin’ Seal+ to add the Square Vellum Doilies, then used Dimensionals behind the kangaroo.

The “love’ and ‘you’ are from the Love You More Than dies, cut in Shimmery White cardstock and adhered with Multipurpose Glue.

Last, I added three of the Elegant Faceted Gems, then decorated the inside by stamping the sentiment from Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. I stamped in Petal Pink first using the Stamparatus, then moved the cardstock slightly, and stamped again in Soft Suede ink, twice. Doesn’t it give a fantastic offset stamping shadow effect?!!! I added a strip on the same patterned paper down the side, that I used on the front of the card.
