AWH Colour Creations Blueberry Bushel

We are a group of Stampin' Up!® demonstrators from the Art With Heart team. With the Stampin' Up!® colour revamp, Catherine Proctor suggsested we might like to blog hop, featuring a different colour every week. This week the spotlight is on Blueberry Bushel. If you pop back to Catherine Proctor you will see a full list of participants.

Have I mentioned that blue is my favourite colour? Actually colour - full stop - is my favourite really. I watched a video by Ronda Wade showing how to make a gift bag and hanging card from 2 sheets of 12" X 12" paper, which was fabulous, but I wanted to use this pretty paper. Someone mentioned that if you halved the measurements it would work the same for a 6" square paper, so I tried it out, and it did! Contact me if you'd like the measurements, happy to help.

That even worked for the tiny hanging card, which I more-or-less winged so that it would fit through the slot. It meant cutting a sliver off to fit it through with a backing card measuring 2 inches. The Stitched All Round bundle is just perfect with this lovely stamp which sits very nicely on top of the die cut fancy stitched circle.

Here is the tiny tag so you can see the 'hanger' - I do rather like that idea, no sticky tape or envelope needed. I popped a couple of Tombow inside the bag to give an idea of the size. Don't forget that you can stock up on patterned paper (DSP) in July with buy three, get one free. hop over to the shop to see more.

Abstract Impressions also received an inking this week. I'm on holiday from work, so although I have just spent three days away at my son's home, I've still had enough time for crafting. I've kept the stamping fairly simple as I get used to these 'different' shapes. Call Me Clover and Pineapple Punch, both part of the same InColor family as Blueberry Bushel, fit in to the picture just fine.

I became just a tad excited when the sun came out one day, and the temperature hit 17° - not a bad effort for a winters day. I took my card outside to have its photo taken!

This is another DSP from Garden Impressions DSP in the 6 inch square format. It is also one of the papers on offer for July in the buy 3, get the 4th one free promo. Get in touch for details. I've noticed that it looks quite similar to my sign off  image, but they haven't added the speckles of gold. The stamp set is new for the Annual catalogue, Sitting Pretty, with some sweet sentiments. I heat embossed 'best friends' with white embossing powder, it stands out better that way. The bird looks a little startled, maybe its not sure about the bulldog?
