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 24 – Fresh Freesia

Today’s card started out being something fairly simple but it kept evolving and has many secret components. I have used the Stargazing DSP that coordinates with the Reach for the Stars Bundle. There is also some Hologaphic Trio Specialty DSP too! Check that out on the main planet.

See that little tab on the right… pull it slowly and the largest planet will slide down the card!

Can you see the secret message yet? Keep pulling it slowly.

Decorate the inside with some left over pieces and the astronaut who pops up when opening the card. He is stamped with Stazon ink on the Holographic paper, how cool does it look? He is cut out with the coordinating dies and sits on a Window sheet mechanism (to see how that is done, check out my post from Monday).

I got this idea from Jennifer Maguire on YouTube, if you want to see the instructions on how to create the front section of this card. She didn’t add a pop up inside, that was just me getting carried away!!!!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you can join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Garden Green.

I wonder if anyone else created their project with these products this week. Please continue the hop and enjoy the wonderful inspiration of Tina Gillespie.

Week 19 – Crumb Cake

Yay, the new Mini catalogue is available now… have you placed your order yet?

Today’s card was created for my nephew who turned 9 a couple of days ago! I haven’t inked up my Reach for the Stars stamp set yet, so I thought this was the perfect one for Mitchy. Now you my be wondering what on earth is she thinking, but stay with me.

I covered my Thick White card base with a piece of the coordinating Stargazing Designer Series Paper (DSP). Then I cut out a green planet from the ‘reverse side’ of one of the papers and the rings are diecut from the Holographic Trio Specialty DSP. These are glued to the card. My astronaut is stamped in Crumb Cake and die cut. They are popped up on dimensionals. The silver stars are diecut from Silver Foil. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Black ink using the Reach for the Stars and Alphabest stamp sets. I love a personalised card!

The sentiment on the inside is from the Phrases for All stamp set and uses Lemon Lime Twist ink. The rocket is stamped in Crumb Cake and diecut, as are the flames, which were diecut in White and coloured using the Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers; Lemon Lolly & Pumpkin Pie.
