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 42 – Pretty Peacock

Where has the start of 2024 gone?!! I can’t believe February has almost finished, which also means that Saleabration ends tomorrow. Make sure you make the most of the freebies with qualifying orders.

Today I feature the  Cutest Cows Bundle, a stamp set and punch bundle!

Cutest Cows card Pretty Peacock Colour Creations Blog Hop by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 2024

My card base is 14.9cm x 18cm, scored on the long edge at 2.5cm, 5cm, 7.5cm. A piece of the Glorious Gingham DSP 14.9cm x 10.5cm is attached behind the 2.5cm side to create the card front. This is such a great way to show both sides of the patterned papers, and I thought gingham was so fitting for my country theme!

The next two panels of the card front are glued together to create a tab on the inside to add an additional layer of stamping. I added a diecut piece of Basic White card cut with the Scalloped Contours dies. I also cut the smaller one for the front panel. My cows are stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured with Smoky Slate & Crumb Cake Blends Combo Markers. The little chick is coloured with Daffodil Delight and ther sunflowers with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Pecock Blends. The grass is stamped in Lost Lagoon and I added some light ink with the Blending Brushes. The ‘congrations’ is die cut using the Happy Little Things dies (Online Exclusive coming in March).

The cow on the front is stamped, coloured and punched out with the Cutest Cow Builder Punch and added on dimensionals. The clouds are created using Blending Brushes with Azure Afternoon ink and the cloud is from the Give it a Whirl dies. The Poppy Parade heart was sitting on my desk leftover from another project, but I thought it added to the country theme and added a double Linen Thread bow with a glue dot. Finally I added a fussy cut sunflower to the cow holding it in his teeth!

Art Gallery and Gilded Leafing for faux scrappy strip technique

AWHT Colour Creations Showcase

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Showcase to bring you creative inspiration to showcase our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 37 – Pretty Peacock

These projects tonight use the Art Gallery bundle and some of the coordinating products from the suite.

Art Gallery Bundle 2021 by Kate Morgan Stampin Up Australia 1

The Golden Garden Specialty Acetate is so pretty and I really wanted to use some but wasn’t sure where to start. I layered it over some of the Fine Art Floral DSP, but this is the reverse side that was less patterned so the gold of the acetate really shines. I cut the acetate to the same size as the DSP.

The flower is stamped in So Saffron ink and then Versamark for the second layer, heat and stick powder added, melted gently with the heat tool and then the Gilded Leafing added. I have started using a sponge dauber to rub off the excess gold leafing, as I found the oils in my fingers were leaving it a little dull. The leaves are stamped off once in Pretty Peacock so it isn’t so dark. Die cut these images with the coordinating dies. Stamp and die cut the sentiment. Add dimensionals on the back of the stamped images.

Place the square vellum doilies at an angle in the centre of the acetate then stick the flower and leaves on. Turn the acetate layer over and place Tear & Tape only behind where the flower and sentiment are, so it’s not visible from the front. Now place the acetate onto the DSP.

Wrap the ribbon around both layers of DSP & Acetate and tie in a bow. Add glue to the back and adhere it to the card base. Finally add some of the Butterfly Gems to finish it off.

For my next card I have used the Gilded Leafing to simulate the technique many call, scrappy strip. By simply cutting the DSP to size, then placing 4 strips of Tear & Tape at angles down the paper. Take off the backing paper and add the Gilded Leafing. I use a sponge dauber to brush off the excess.

The Double Oval Punch makes it so easy to create a sentiment and matt layer for your cards; one an oval and the other a slightly larger scallop oval in the one punch!

Colour Creations: Daisies in Pretty Peacock

AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop

So today I am featuring Pretty Peacock, and what a stunning colour it is. I have used it with Very Vanilla, the 2019-2021 In Colour 6″ x 6″ DSP and the Daisy Lane stamp set. This also coordinates with the Daisy punch and a new Medium Daisy punch is also available now, but of course mine hasn’t arrived yet, so I fussy cut the small daisy images for now!

I used my bone folder to give the petals more dimension, gently curling them up.

Do you notice that gorgeous new In Colour scalloped linen ribbon too? It’s so gorgeous. I also love the font of the sentiment and how cleanly it stamped. WOW! The new Stitched Nested Label dies are a great addition to your die cutting collection.

The stems was stamped on Pretty Peacock cardstock in the same ink and fussy cut.

Are you going to add the Daisy Lane stamp set to your order? You should, it is amazing and can be used for so many different projects.
