Colour Creations - Granny Apple Green




In week 20, Colour Creations are showcasing Granny Apple Green. Another colour from the Brights family, I wanted to try the alcohol and Stampin' Blends technique, and I think it turned out very well. The participants in Colour Creations are all Stampin' Up! Australian demonstrators and members of Art With Heart.



It actually bears some similarity to camouflage, although my sons would no doubt tell me it was not authentic. 
Campology was my stamp of choice for this one.


Enjoy The Moment supplied the crisp "Happy Birthday" heat embossed with whit on black, while Sunny Sentiments has a great longer birthday sentiment, perfect for the inside of the card.


Two of my sons like to camp, which is why this idea came to me, but both have already had their birthdays this year. I'll have to make sure I don't put it away so safely that I never see it again ! LOL!!


Have you tried this technique with isoprol alcohol and Stampin' Blends yet? I'm happy to give some pointers if you get in touch. I also demonstrated the technique on Facebook. Click this link

I'm looking forward to seeing what our lovely Cathy Proctor is sharing this week.

AWH CASE-ing The Annual Catty


Tonight the Art With Heart team are sharing creative projects CASE-ing the new annual catalogue. Stampin' Up!® catalogues are full of great art work provided by professional designers but it is perfectly okay to CASE (copy and selectively edit) these creations and make them your own. If you would like a copy of the new 2018 - 2019 annual catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you.



You'll find the card (pictured below) on page 16 of the Annual Catalogue, and I've already seen it CASE-d a few times. I decided to take a long look at it, and then without referring back to the picture, try to make my version from memory. I did make a decision to use the leaves from Rooted In Nature, because I love them so much!


Highland Heather was selected for the base. Leaves from Rooted in Nature were stamped and die cut, and with a flower bud from Oh So Eclectic, were added to the card. A stamp from Sunshine Sayings was perfect for adding silver heat embossed smears, and champagne foil diecut with another die from Oh So Eclectic. The Basic Gray cat seemed to suit this changed colour scheme pretty well, so it has been slotted in there and a thank you from Petal Palette topped it all off.


This type of card does not really come naturally to me, so I'm grateful for the inspiration provided by the artists who create for the catalogue.


Now to share how CASE-ing can then produce an entirely different card, I made another which is more my 'usual' style - clean & layered. This inspiration struck on a sleepless night, and I got up and made it at 2 a.m. - fortunately at the weekend!!!!


Stitched All Around is on the very next page of the catalogue, Page 17 and amongst the dies is a plate that produces the delightful cross-stitch-like background, which allows a hint of colour through. The leaves were stamped, with one die cut and lifted with dimensionals. I totally meant to include the spotted ribbon, because I just love it so, but being 2 a.m. I wasn't going to get it completely right!!!


There's a larger bloom from Oh So Eclectic, the 'thank you' from Petal Palette and both those pieces were cut using Petals & More Thinlit dies.
 Now it's time to see the project that the very talented Andrea Roberts has CASEd.

Painted With Love CTC#166





Image may contain: textWelcome back to another week of CASE-ing The Catty. The crew is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project.


This week we are CASEing pages 18-21, featuring the Painted With Love Suite. I was happy to make another box using the Lots To Love Box Framelits Dies, & the Narrow Note cards also on page 18 of the catalogue. The Painted With Love DSP really does the heavy lifting on this project, and I've added hearts and die cut words from various other Stampin' Up® stamp & die sets. Sunshine Sayings and Sunshine Wishes Thinlets are available from the main catalogue, and some dies from Mini Treat Bag Thinlets were also used on the box.


I took inspiration from the small notecard at the bottom right of the promotion picture and made a set of 4 cards with matching envelopes to be gifted in a matching box. This extravagant paper does all the work on this project, paired up with some gold foil words and various hearts.

Celebrate, You and Amazing are available now as a SALE-A-Bration freebie, (Celebrate You, page 17 in the SAB Catty) and I'm able to let you in on the hot news, they'll be in the next Annual catty too, so you could earn them now and get a head start on your projects this year.

Next lovely crew member to check out is the marvelous Mel Pagano


You can share what you have CASEd from pages 18-21 of the Stampin' Up!® Occasions Catalogue on our Facebook page too, we love to see what inspires you.

Sweet Sayings For your Birthday CTC 162

It's a shame I couldn't justify racing out to the shops to buy a cake stand to use like my inspiration picture. It's a small picture on page 11, of a Powder Pink card with a large circle cut from the centre.


Kind of close so far, although my circle is off to the right. I displayed Sweet Soiree DSP behind the circle, and then I pulled Sunshine Sayings from the shelf and cut Congrats in silver foil, stamped 'on one more year' for the banner crossing the circle.


Finally I turned to my new Petal Palette supplies and embossed with one of the pair of TIEF in that suite, and diecut the leafy branch from the glimmer paper in the Myths & Magic Suite.

The other side of that gorgeous piece of paper is equally lovely, in a different way, so I continued on to make a quick birthday card using a special quick and easy technique. This card was more exclusively using Petal Palette with the embossing folder, the sprig of leaves and the label die all coming from that suite.


 I've inked up one side of the embossing folder before rolling a piece of thick Whisper White through the Big Shot. The uneven inking is what you should expect, but look how it has shown up those small spots surrounding the flowers on the embossing folder. Now you can do this in reverse too, and you'll have coloured flowers and a white background.

 The sentiment on the outer of the card is Sunshine Sayings, as is the splash of paint both inside and out, while the longer greeting inside is a favourite of mine from the fabulous Picture Perfect Birthday!

Please go on to check which project the very talented Sandra Collett has CASEd.
