Pretty in Pink: Faux Pinwheel card

2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 3 – Pretty in Pink

With the release of the new Annual catalogue, we begin our blog hops with the new In Color™ range, followed by the new Basic Beige, then all the other Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order. So today, we have the second new 2024-2026 In Color™, Pretty in Pink.

2024-2026 IN COLORS

Today I feature the Faux Pinwheel design with the gorgeous Unbounded Beauty DSP.  The patterns are so beautiful and I wanted to feature two of them here. The background Pretty in Pink layer is embossed with the Eyelet 3D Impressions Folder then splattered with some Petunia Pop Blends Marker, by placing the tip inside the lid and gently flicking it onto the card.

The pinwheel is created using two squares of 7cm x 7cm Summer Splash card and eight pieces of DSP 3cm x 3cm.  The ‘celebrate’ is Gold Foil and created using the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder. This is a folder and the die which sits inside the folder and cuts the sentiments at the same time when run through the Cut & Emboss Machine.

The colour of this image is not quite right, it’s looking more purple as the daylight was disappearing when I photographed it, but you can see the detail up close. The Paper Butterfly Accents are added behind the sentiment and adhered on dimensionals, so it gives a little height.  Some 2024-2026 In Color™ Shimmer Gems are added too!

On the inside, some more DSP was placed behind a white panel and butterfly for the written message.

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.
