Colour Creations - Week #20 - Flirty Flamingo

The participants in AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart. We love to Blog Hop sharing all the Stampin' Up! Colours. This is week 20 of Colour Creations Blog Hop, and we are sharing Flirty Flamingo.

Brian King shared this Fancy fold a while back - he called it the Mixed-Up Fun Fold. I've searched for the post but can't find it to be able to link back. Sorry. In many ways, this Fun fold is similar to the one I shared using Evening Evergreen last week.

Last week I finally broke open my packet of Texture Chic 12" x 12" specialty designer series paper, to make some masculine cards. This time I picked the softly feminine Petal Pink, which pairs beautifully with Flirty Flamingo, our feature colour.

Mostly the card is neutral, with a pop of Flirty Flamingo in a couple of flowers. Season of Chic stamp set includes images for every season of the year, and these sentiments in a whimsical duo of fonts. You will want to order the bundle for the huge range of dies to co-ordinate and add to the images.

Flirty Flamingo ink was blended over the Crumb Cake stamping on the inside.

Let's hop over and see what Theresa is sharing this week.

Colour Creations - Smokey Slate

The participants in Colour Creations are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart. This is week 43 of Colour Creations Blog Hop, and we are up to Smokey Slate.

Hello Beautiful is probably not the name of a stamp set you'd think to use for a masculine card, but it has some wonderful solid shapes included, along with interesting 'little' images - like the scribble, dots etc. I stamped the shape with1st, 2nd & 3rd generation in Smokey Slate, overlapping in places.

The scribbles and dots were added in black Memento ink and then I pulled out Home & Garden to stamp the ladder and diecut before colouring with Smokey Slate Blends. 'Birthday Wishes' is from Home & Garden also, and after lining up the stamp on the card front, that sentiment was added using the step-stamping method, with the Stamparatus. You move the plate down one hinge mark and stamp, then move one more until you have a lovely line of greetings.

The same step-stamping was used for 'to the man who can do anything', this time stamped in Old Olive. The grass was die cut from the same shade of green and a few of the rock embellishments were placed on the 'ground'.

A little more stamping on the inside in Smokey Slate finishes this card nicely. Home & Garden has not made it into the Annual catalogue so if you need this stamp & die bundle, don't wait too long to place your order. I think it might be another popular one.

Next Art With Heart Team member to share is the talented Christine Blain. I wonder if her card is for a man, woman or child?

Week #13 AWH Colour Creations Showcase - Crushed Curry

Four Seasons Floral

I love all these bright cheerful colours, and particularly love some of the yellow daisies and polyanthus growing in my garden. I'm sure the Art With Heart team members who have participated this week in the Colour Creations Showcase featuring Crushed Curry, will have some amazing projects to share.

Four Season Floral is a sweet little stamp set in the Beginners Brochure which might go unnoticed. It is easy to use, and reasonably priced, perfect for those wanting to give stamping a try.

I'm sharing my stepped-up card here, to demonstrate that when you move beyond beginner, you will still be able to use a simple stamp set with the addition of new products that you're bound to add to your stash.

While Melbourne is in lockdown, I have stepped outside my comfort zone and begun recording classes. Some of my ladies had only begun stampin at the beginning of the year, and others have crafted but not with Stampin' Up! products.

I made a video demonstrating the basic card on a notecard, the slightly more advanced version and then talked them through the stepped-up card which included the texture embossed background, lining up points on the stamp to die cut 3 identical images, using leaves from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp and other textural elements for added interest.
