Poppy Parade CCBH: Gold Drizzling Droplets

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 41 – Poppy Parade

With only 1 week to go of Saleabration, have you made the most of placing your order to get some amazing freebies?

Today I feature the Drizzling Droplets stamp set, which is one of the March Online Exclusives range. As a demonstrator I got to preorder it, just one of the perks of being a demonstrator. As soon as I saw this set, I immediately had this idea to create my card today.

I took a piece of Basic White card and inked the stamp with Versamark ink, stamped it, added Heat & Stick Powder, melted it gently with my Heat Tool then added the Gilded Leafing. I dab this over the entire card, then use a sponge dauber to rub it gently. I find this works better than using my fingers.

I added a matt layer of Gold Foil, and before I adhered this to my Thick Basic White base, I added some Gold Satin Edged Ribbon. The Poppy Parade scallop border (Scalloped Contours dies) was added. The ‘hello’ is gold foil in the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder (a die and embossing folder combo). The foil goes in the embossing folder as does the die and it embosses and cuts it out at the same time!

This is added on Mini Dimensionals. The hearts are punch from the Bee Builder Punch in gold foil and Poppy Parade card.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment (Sweetly Scripted) along the bottom edge and added 2 more hearts.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Pretty Peacock.

Jungle Pals

Saleabration is now into the 2nd and final month for 2024, and many more items have been added as well as what is in the brochure.

More to Saleabrate

Today I feature the Jungle Pals stamp set (free with $90+ order) and the Jungle Pals dies (free with $180+ order) and lots of different colouring techniques.

Card 1:
My first card features the gorgeous tiger roaming through the trees. He is stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. I also used a Black and White pencil to add highlights and shadowing.

The trees are cut from the Aspen Tree dies and coloured using Blending Brushes with Crumb Cake and Pebbled Path inks. I die cut the Basic White frame using the Deckled Rectangle dies and then glued some foliage along the bottom on the back side. These were die cut from the reverse side of some Meandering Meadows DSP. Next I added the trees, gluing them at the top and bottom. The tiger is slipped between the trees. Once these were all secured, I added Adhesive Strips and various size Dimensionals where I could to add support.

The Thick Basic White card base has another piece of the DSP added to cover the front, then the frame is added. The sentiment is from the Charming Sentiments stamp set and the Sentiment Silhouettes dies to cut it out. More foliage is added on the inside across the bottom of the card.

Card 2: 
A Basic White layer is dry embossed with the Fern 3D Textured Impressions Embossing Folder then coloured with Blending Brushes from the centre out. These were the inks in order: Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Starry Sky. The tree is coloured with Crumb Cake and then Pebbled Path. The foliage is coloured with Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green.

The animals are all stamped with Black Memento ink and die cut with the Jungle Pals dies then coloured using Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers (alcohol):
Toucan – Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight & Basic Black
Lemur – Smoky Slate, Gray Granite & Colour Lifter
Flowers – Daffodil Delight & Poppy Parade

All the elements are glued or on Mini Dimensionals and then this layer is adhered to a Thick White card base. The sentiment is from the Cutest Cows stamp set and Paper Snips used to create the banner.

On the inside, I have added some vines (lightly brushed Pretty Peacock ink) and a sloth hanging from it. The Sloth is coloured with Crumb Cake Blends Combo Markers and highlighted with Black & White pencils.

In the lower corner, I added another piece of foliage with a Poppy Parade flower. Some Poppy Parade Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs were added for a little shine to the flower centres and banner. Thanks to Marcie Besecker (USA) for the inspiration!

I have stamped all the images in this stamp set, but still have the crocodile to share, but that will be next week’s project. Thanks for dropping by.

Legendary Ride Masculine card

2022-23 CCBH Logo

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 40 – Poppy Parade

Today I’ve created a masculine card using the Legendary Ride Bundle and the Ready to Ride Specialty DSP.

This specialty designer paper has a gorgeous shine. Look at the black and silver squares of the background paper, the black squares are super shiny. I then layered some of the Soft Suede pattern across the centre.

The bike is stamped in Black Memento ink onto Basic White card and die cut. The features on top are die cut pieces in Poppy Parade card and Silver Foil. Who doesn’t love a shiny chrome bike?! The flame is stamped in Poppy Parade and the smaller flame die cut from the same colour card. The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder added and heat set, before die cutting with the Stitched Rectangle die. The bike is popped up on dimensionals.

On the inside, a smaller bike was stamped in Black Memento with a Poppy Parade sentiment. The bike was also stamped on the envelope!
