AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 15 - Cajun Craze




Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. Every Wednesday night at 8p.m AEST we feature a fabulous Stampin' Up! colour, in alphabetical order.






This week we are focussing on Cajun Craze, which is in the Stampin' Up! Regals, a deep, earthy terracotta shade. It probably isn't greatly used by me, but this card gave me pleasure to create.


The contrast of the blue (Azure Afternoon) stool is pretty with Cajun Craze, as are the copper accents.


Newly acquired gems and metallic enamel accents were the reason for the copper additions.






Now let's go see what the very talented Rachel Woollard has shared this week.

Happy crafting,

CTC 481 CASE A Sketch





CASE-ing The Catty Crew are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Australia & New Zealand who take inspiration weekly from the catalogues. The catalogues are a fantastic resource, and we love to inspire you to seek inspiration there too. 


A sketch is always a fun way to kick-start your creativity, it will be interesting to see the variations we have this week, and then you might like to add yours on our Facebook page too.


Irresistible Blooms is still available as a bundle in the Online store saving you 10% overall, and you will want the dies as there is a lovely fancy circle and a border piece as well as the flowers and leaves.


The sentiments are a little different with unexpected lower-case letters, and this longer one suited my vision for this sketch.


A second card using the same sketch but a different stamp set, this time Country Flowers Bundle. This one can be viewed on pages 48-51 of the annual catalogue. I used Fun Patterns Embossing Folders on both these cards, the texture adds some interest to the white card stock.





Now it's your turn. We do request that the projects you submit have been created especially for this challenge. You can CASE directly or be inspired by a sketch/layout, colour combo or embellishment. Ask to join our Facebook group, and then add a picture of your CASE.




Next along the hop is the talented Julia Quinn. She has also chosen flowers, but different ones again for a whole new look.

Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 14 - Bubble Bath



Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. Every Wednesday night at 8p.m AEST we feature a fabulous Stampin' Up! colour, in alphabetical order.



This week we are working with a soft pink called Bubble Bath.


CARD 1:
Country Flowers was my choice of stamps & dies for this week - it seems very popular with all the team members. Bright & Beautiful 6" X 6" DSP, still available through the online store, makes for an interesting background.
 


These flowers are fun to colour, and always look stunning in any combination. My favourite way to colour is with Stampin' Blends.


CARD 2:
Another DSP which had a suggestion of Bubble Bath was Thoughtful Journey. It has pretty scenes on it which I like to bring to the front as a focal point.


Countryside Corners Dies cut a series of sizes which can be used to create frames around the image. The patterned paper and Bubble Bath labels were cut the same size and layered in a staggered fashion.



Two strips of ribbon were laid across the card with a bow to finish off.

I wonder what Theresa Gerrard has shared in Bubble Bath? Let's hop over to check it out.

Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 11- Blackberry Bliss

Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. We love chatting & crafting together.


Blackberry Bliss is the star of our team blog hop this week. I have to confess that I rarely use it but I know other team members adore it, so I'm sure that you will see some beautiful cards shared this week.





My project began with the teapot and flowers from Country Flowers. The teapot has been coloured with Stampin' Blends after failing to create the look I wanted with Stampin' Markers. I had a class recently to share ways to use the markers for the three lovely ladies who joined my team last month. I quite enjoy using markers for smaller images such as the flowers.


The sketch below provided inspiration for a layout and allowed me to introduce some softer shades of pink and purple. There wasn't a need to strictly follow the sketch, I did cut 4 circles but felt that 3 were sufficent.


Recently I purchased the Metallic Effects trio and have become slightly obsessed! I used gold on this card to add dots, then left them overnight to dry properly.





Now we are off to see what the talented Kathryn Ruddick has shared this week.

Just Peachy Flowers


A piece of Peach Pie In Color DSP was lying on my desk and so it has been added to this card too - circles on circles.


Inspiration for colouring the teapot and flowers from Country Flowers has come totally from the Full of Life DSP.


 I've shared images of the main components used to make this set of cards, in case you are wanting to make similar cards.
