Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 21 - Daffodil Delight

Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. We love chatting, crafting and getting together in person.

This week our colour is Daffodil Delight, a lovely sunny yellow in the brights family and I decided to make a side-step card.

Time to make a start on the grandkid's birthday cards for the remainder of the year before the real Christmas rush begins. Three of my grandsons are in their teens, and food, especially 'junk' food seems to be a key interest!

I decided a side-step card would be the ideal platform for "Pizza guy" for one of my about-to-be 14s. You can find Supremely Awesome on page 80 of the Annual catalogue.

Next participant in the blog hop is the lovely, talented Tina Gillespie

CTC #412 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.

I'm a big fan of sketches as a starting point for card design and this one came together so easily for me.

By the Bay SDSP had been on my desk as I put together a number of beach-themed projects and it set me thinking about family birthdays. My husband enjoys fishing, probably for the quiet time as much as anything and so this card idea developed.

After pairing a couple of the beautiful papers, I moved on to the rest of the sketch and took a little artistic license.

Rugged Icons is a set of stand-alone dies which include a guitar, mountain scene, beard and a power drill. I've found them very handy when making cards for my tribe of fellas!

The crab is part of the Seaside Bay bundle, and as such has a die to cut it out if you choose. I finished the inside of the card by simply stamping in Crumb Cake.

We love for you to share your projects using the challenges. 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 letting us know which card or project you've CASE-d.

The very talented Monique Fielder is sharing a sunflower card next on this blog hop.

Your orders are very much appreciated, no matter how small or big, every little bit helps me to meet my minimums, and keep on creating.

Colour Creations - Week #44 - Sahara Sand

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 alphabetically. This is week #44 and Sahara Sand is our colour.

Last month my Craft & Chat classes featured a fun-fold with the Share a Milkshake bundle from the mini catalogue. I shared that card in our Week 42 Real Red blog hop.

One of the class participants mentioned she should have made the card more masculine for her ice-cream loving son-in-law which prompted me to try out a variation.

Sahara Sand features in the He's the Man specialty designer series paper in the annual catalogue. (P132)

The sentiments have come from Framed Florets on a Stitched Circle shape and on the inside a birthday greeting from Charming Sentiments. I use this one so often it seems to be permanently mounted on a block!

Let's head over to see a wonderful creation by Kate Morgan

Another Round...?

It didn't occur to me on Tuesday when I shared on Facebook Live this masculine card, that it was featuring Evening Evergreen, the Colour Creations Blog Hop colour for this week.

It seems very fitting to add some more photos of this card, including the one made at the same time with Soft Succulent, a very pleasant pairing. The beer was stamped in Crushed Curry, which brightens the cards up considerably.

When both sides of the DSP are suitable for the card front I have in mind, this particular cut, and layout is one of my 'go to' cards.

Last time I used it was for another masculine card.

Texture Chic specialty Designer series paper provided perfect backgrounds for these masculine cards, but also contains paper in delightful feminine tones. Luxurious too, with the gold patterns.

Snowfall Accents Puff Paint is not only great for adding snowy accents to your stamped winter scenes, but also for the froth on top of a (badly poured) beer.

Masculine Cards

With Father's Day only a little bit over a week away, this card could potentially be for that occasion, or a birthday - you choose!

On the inside, I stamped with two other stamps from Vintage Tools. Not having a Dad living any longer, I'm more likely to be giving it to one of my tradie sons.

Rugged Icons dies is a stand-alone die set, which you'll find on page 174 of the annual catalogue. Not only does it have this drill, there's a fishing rod, guitar and a mountain scene amongst other dies. I suggest you also add adhesive sheets to your order, it makes assembling all the little pieces a breeze. Even my grandson, aged 8, loves these dies.

SALE-A-Bration is an opportunity to get a little extra in your order, free, courtesy of Stampin' Up! For every $90 ordered, or multiples of $90 you will be asked to choose items from the SAB catty. Some require a $180 spend if they have a higher value. If you're still not sure how SALE-A-Bration works, ask and I'll try to help you out. These items are available while stock lasts until August 31st.

News Flash - A Masculine Card!

Yesterday I shared another card I made using Approaching Perfection. Today's version is much more sedate in its colours. This particular stamp from it seems quite masculine to me. I was inspired by Brian King, a demo in the USA, check his card here.

The Poppy Parade DSP is from the paper packs you receive as a bonus during SALE-A-Bration, if you join my team, and they are actually NEW patterns to be released with the Annual Catalogue in May. This joining offer ends Sunday, 28th February.

If you look at the links with pictures of product below, you can see that 'Approaching Perfection' costs $0.00. That is because it is a Level 1 SAB reward, free with your $90 order. You can order these products by clicking on the pictures below, ringing me (0417 500 681) or checking out my online store.
