Warm Welcome Little One

 

Warm Welcome is a newer bundle, released for World Card-making day (Ocober 1st).

This card for a baby girl came together quite easily with the help of some other dies in my stash. The Split Card Textures die is great for adding a little extra interest to a card front.

The three pair of shoes and the sentiment stamp quite comfortably on this lovely label from Painted Labels. There are some beauties in that set of dies.

Colour Creations - Week #21 - Fresh Freesia

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 21 of Colour Creations Blog Hop, and we are sharing Fresh Freesia.

A Fresh Freesia card base with a mat of Highland Heather over, was the starting point. A collage piece using a mask cut from an Adhesive sheet with Split Card Texture die was used to layer some colour onto the background.

The monotone stamping was done with stamps from Quiet Meadow, while sentiments came from Inspired Thoughts. I find this 'sentiment only' stamp set really useful.

Next on the blog hop this week is the fabulous Kathryn Ruddick.

Colour Creations Week12 - Calypso Coral

The participants in Colour Creations 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 12 of this round of Colour Creations Blog Hop, and we are sharing Calypso Coral.

Top of my wish list from the Annual Catalogue was Cottage Rose, well actually the whole Abigail Rose suite, and the Split  Card Textures dies. I've paired them here for our Calypso Coral challenge this week, and after using the lattice-style version for a few of these Colour Creations challenges, it's time to let the floral one shine.

Even covered with the art panel, the textured cut out shows a delightful glimpse of Calypso Coral and helps to bring out the colours added to the flower. 

The text used on Cottage Rose is an elegant script paired with a straight-forward no-nonsense type, and this one added to the inside is a fave of mine. Aren't these images delicate?

It really is easy to raise the Split Card Texture panels with a mix of 2 sizes of Dimensionals. Early Espresso seemed to call for the black ones this time.

Next on the hop is the amazing Amie

Colour Creations Week 10 - Blushing Bride

The participants in Colour Creations 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 ten of this round of Colour Creations Blog Hop, and the colour is Blushing Bride.

Just like last week, I've used the Split Card Textures dies, as a die cut though, not a mask. This set of dies definitely is a favourite of mine!

Experimenting with Nature's Prints in this softer colour, totally surprised me how different it looked. Sometimes a change of colour is worth trying for a different look.

Colour Creations - Week 9 - Blackberry Bliss

The participants in Colour Creations 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 nine of this round of Colour Creations Blog Hop, and this week is Blackberry Bliss.

This was a really fun project to use old and new together. The old was Painted Poppies stamped in Old Olive. Still love those pretty poppies though.

The new is Split Card Texture dies, and it's the lattice-like one here, cut from our NEW masking paper. Oh wow! Having a large sheet of masking paper means I don't get random smudges just off the edge where my post-it note runs out!

We made this card in class this month and the ladies LOVED it!

Lovely Kate Morgan follows me this week, let's go see her Blackberry Bliss creation.

Colour Creations - Week 8 - Bermuda Bay

The participants in Colour Creations 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 eight of this round of Colour Creations Blog Hop, and this week is Bermuda Bay.

Again, Bermuda Bay is a favourite of mine, being blue-ish. For one of my stamp groups I had created a simpler card using this stamp and the DSP, so they were aware it was about to retire. You can make some lovely cards with one or two stamps and some lovely DSP.

This is my stepped-up version where I've used a number of the stamps, dies and layers. The dark layer is Evening Evergreen, which seems to go nicely with Bermuda Bay.

Bonus this week, a second card.

It was hard to resist making two cards this week, so I didn't!!! Blessings Of Home provided the lovely floral image and the sentiment, which was masked to remove 2 words which weren't needed.

The Split Card Textures dies are a stand alone pair of dies, they aren't bundled with a stamp set or anything, but they are too versatile to ignore. See them on page 174 of the Annual catalogue. This is the lacy version, the other is similar to straight lattice.
