Blog Hop: In Colours 2018-2021

Blog Hop InColour

Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects featuring In Colour theme. Check out the new 2019-2021 In Colours and lets not forget the current 2018-2020 In Colours.

If you would like a copy of the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you.

If you’re already hopping, then you just came to me from the talented, Ros Davidson. If you’re just joining, great! Use the “next” button at the end of my post to hop all the way around. Blog Hops are full circles, so you can start hopping here and then at the end of each post there is a link to the next one. There is also a list of participants at the end in case of any broken links.

Now let’s get started!

My first project is a 12″ x 12″ Scrapbook page and each of the daisies [Daisy Lane stamp set] in one of the 10 current In Colours. I kept this page very simple in design as I wanted the colours to shine through. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, white emboss powder applied and heat set. I cut it in half with scissors, so I had an even balance above and below the photo. The centres of the daisies is silver glimmer paper and I love that sparkle!

My next project is a card using the Wonderful Moments stamp set and the Mosaic Mood DSP and coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the image in Soft Suede as it’s not as harsh as the black ink which most people stamp images with.

Tip: when using Stampin’ Blends markers (alcohol markers) you can actually stamp your images using any of the Stampin’ Up! Classic inks (water based).

Mosaic Mood & Wonderful Moments for 60th Birthday by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2019

This card uses Terracotta Tile as the base and this colour is also in the Mosaic Mood designer papers. Did you see the scallop shaped DSP on the right? I cut around the scallop edge with Paper Snips for extra detail.

The Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers used are: Mint Macaron, Mango Melody, Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler.

My last project uses the Bird Ballad stamp set, Woven Threads designer series paper and the Heirloom Frames Dies and 3D Embossing folder. The Frame is the new Seaside Spray card with a strip of Rococo Rose card behind layered with some Very Vanilla Scallop Lace Trim.

The birds are coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers and some Wink of Stella applied to the chest of each bird for added sparkle.

Floral Wings

Dear Crafters,

I am so excited to start sharing with you a sneak peek of some new product in the Annual Catalogue which starts 2 June!

I begin with a set that you probably won’t be surprised about, as it has flowers and butterflies, some of my favourites 😉

I have used the Floral Wings Hostess stamp set. This set can only be purchased by the Hostess if you have a party at your house, ask a few friends along to have some fun stamping and I can share many different techniques with you all.

This stamp set is photopolymer, so it is completely clear so you can stamp exactly where you want it to be! Love, love, love my photopolymer stamps!!!

Floral Wings

The base card is Watermelon Wonder with a layer of Pool Party which is stamped with some of the new In Colour inks; Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder.

I fussy cut the butterfly and added it with dimensionals (I can’t wait to get my hands on the coordinating framelits to make this process even easier, but of course even I need to wait until 2 June to get them!)

Floral Wings

I added a strip of the basic pearls to the centre of the butterfly for a little bling!

Be sure to decorate the inside panel of your card and even the envelope.

I would love you to comment below with your thoughts on this card.

Convention Gifts

Dear Crafters,

Well as you know I am back from Convention and now I wanted to share with you the little gifts I made for my two roomies!

Convention Gifts

I started with some A5 notebooks which were spiral bound and covered them with DSP. I knew that one of my roomies favourite colour is blue and the other loves oranges and purples, so they are the colours I chose!

Convention Gift  Convention Gift

I also added some DSP to the biro, by pulling out the ink and sliding in the dsp around it.

Convention Gift  Convention Gift

I also made some scissor bling for each of them that they can put on their scissors when they return home! There is nothing worse than not being able to identify your own scissors when crafting with a group of friends.

I know both the ladies loved their gifts and even used their pen and notebook to write their wish list when we received the catalogue on the first day of Convention!

Floral Cantaloupe

Dear Crafters,

Late last month, I shared some cards made with the 2013-2015 In Colours which will retire in a couple of months when the new Annual Catalogue is released and I will be very sad to see them go. I just love these colours!

I have used a Bundle from the Occasions Catalogue and with each bundle you can save an extra 15%. The bundle is Petal Potpourri stamp set and the coordinating Flower Medallion punch.

Petal Potpourri

The base card is Crisp Cantaloupe with a layer of Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper.

The flowers are stamped in Crisp Cantaloupe ink on the Crisp Cantaloupe & Whisper White card stock and some vellum and punched out using the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch. I used dimensionals to add the flowers to the card, slightly overlapping them.

Petal Potpourri

Be sure to decorate the inside panel of your card and even the envelope!

Petal Potpourri

I would love you to comment below with your thoughts on this card.

Challenges, JAI, Kids Cards

JAI#220 Sketch Challenge

Hello Crafters,

Today I finally get back into some crafting after a week or two on the sidelines so to speak!

I thought the best way to start, was with a challenge at Just Add Ink. So, the challenge this week is a Sketch Challenge JAI#220.

I am also using 2 of the new 2014-2015 In Colours; Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey & Tangelo Twist.

My dear sister is pregnant with her 3rd child and already has two girls, so when they found out she was having a boy, I almost went in to melt down! This will be the 5th grandchild, but the first boy, on my side of the family.

Baby We've Grown

So I need loads of practice with masculine/boy cards and what better way than to start with a Oh Baby Boy card.

I have left the very top of the card above the ribbon with a bit of space, so once the baby is born (and I get my new alphabet framelits from the new annual catalogue, available 1 July!), I will be able to add his name!

Baby We've Grown

I stamped the Oh Baby image from the Baby We’ve Grown Stamp set in the new In Colour, Lost Lagoon. The base card is also Lost Lagoon and the Designer Series paper is from the new stack, Moonlight.

The scallop circle is die cut from Hello Honey cardstock… do you think it looks a bit like a bib?!!! I hope so, because that was the intention!

I find that these two colours coordinate so well and the ribbon is to die for! Below is another picture showing this divine ribbon!

IMG_4875

You may also notice the punched stars, part of a new punch pack of 3 (which also includes a flower and a heart), all of which I couldn’t wait to get my hands on.

Why don’t you give a challenge a go, they are so much fun. Head across to the Just Add Ink page for more inspiration and see how the designers interpreted this challenge.

 

The new 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue goes live on 1 July, so make sure you return to my blog to view it online. This catalogue is full of amazing new products and wonderful coloured pictures for ideas. It is a must have for anyone interested in Ink, Paper and Stamps!

Don’t forget to check the retired stamps and accessories lists, there are sure to be products to please, but hurry, only available while stocks last and ends 30 June!
