Light the Sky!

If you’ve been following me, you know that the Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2023 ended last Monday, but don’t worry, I still have some inspiration for you!

These products are for the New Year celebrations, but hey, I’m using them to create some amazing cards for milestone birthdays. I mean, who doesn’t love some fireworks to celebrate such as occasion?!

Light the Sky card for Milestone birthdays by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2023.

Gold and Navy are definitely a ‘glam’ combination and with some heat embossing, it really shines. The card bases are Night of Navy, with a layer of Gold Foil. The top layer is stamped with Versamark ink, Gold Emboss Powder applied and melted with my Heat Tool. In the space around them, I’ve stamped a smaller image to fill the space. A piece of Navy/Gold Glittered Ribbon is placed across the lower section of the card before adhering this layer to the card base. I added some Gold Sequins to the centre of each of the gold fireworks.

The sentiment is diecuts from the Wanted to Say dies, using Adhesive-backed Gold Glimmer card and Night of Navy on top. This finer piece is adhered with Tombo Multipurpose Glue, which I’ve found is the best product when adding on Glimmer paper. These are popped up on dimensionals. I plan to add the milestone number below the ‘Celebrate’ when the time comes.

Thank you to Frenciestamps.com for the inspiration!

Garden Green: Let’s Celebrate Garden Walk

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 25 – Garden Green

Today’s card is a super easy card, but I find the design pleasing to the eye. The trio of circles with a sentiment and some flower diecuts and a couple of my favourite, Adhesive-backed Glitter Sequins.

On my Thick Basic White card base, 3 different sized circles (Stylish Shapes dies), are cut from the Garden Walk DSP and glued to the card. The sentiment (Light the Sky stamp set)  is stamped with Garden Green ink and die cut using the banner from the same set of dies. This is added on Dimensionals.

The flowers are diecut using the Dainty Delight dies from Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper and coloured using my Water Painters and Poppy Parade & Garden Green inkpads. Once dry, the stems are glued to the card and the petals are added on Mini Dimensionals. The Gold Satin Edged Ribbon is cut in half lengthwise and tied in a bow. This is added to the stems on a Glue Dot.
