AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop #16 Calypso Coral

Calypso Coral with Poised Peony

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. We are working though the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order, focussing on one colour each week.

This week’s Blog Hop is showcasing a beautiful soft orange called Calypso Coral.  Calypso Coral is part of the Subtles Colour Family and is a soft pinky orange that works well with various colours, including Petal Pink, Pretty in Pink, Lost Lagoon, Lemon Lolly to name a few and it is wonderful when depicting flowers, fruit (incl oranges, peaches, etc), fish, star fish and so much more.

Calypso Coral is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads & re-inkers); Stampin' Write Marker; Stampin’ Blends Combo; Watercolor Pencils (Assortment 1), Subtles Designer Series Paper as well as Thoughtful Journey, A Little Latte and Unbounded Beauty DSPs; Thoughtful Journey Memories & More Cards; Thoughtful Designs Speciality DSP; Hello Hollyhocks Kit, By Your Side Kit, The Scenic Route Travel Journal Kit, Your Day To Shine Kit, Happy Houseplants Kit, The Best Destination Kit, Forever Friends Kit and Wreath of Blooms Kit; plus Adhesive-backed Pearl Trio & Ombré Matte Decorative Dots. 

This project has incorporated Calypso Coral as Classic Stampin' ink, card-stock, Stampin' Write Marker, Stampin’ Blends, Watercolor Pencils (Assortment 1) and the Thoughtful Designs Speciality Designer Series Paper.

My Poised Peony stamp set had yet to see ink and it seemed perfect for use with Calypso Coral. This stamp set is a stand alone set. It has beautiful images, with 3 different sized flowers and sentiments in a gorgeous font. My card is almost a one layer card, which is quite unusual for me.

The flower stamps were individually stamped in Basic Beige Classic Stampin’ ink along the right side of the card front. Masking Paper was also stamped with the 2 larger peonies then fussy cut. The masks were laid down over the stamped image to enable another image to be stamped above, giving an impression that the higher flowers sit behind the lower images.

The images were coloured with a mix of Stampin’ Blends and Watercolor Pencils. The flowers were coloured with Calypso Coral and Petal Pink Blends Combos and the leaves with Lost Lagoon and Soft Sea Foam combos. After colouring all the images I thought it needed something, so pulled out my Watercolor Pencils, specifically Calypso Coral and Old Olive to add a little extra richness and fine detail. I love this effect of mixed media.

The edge was fussy cut away with my trusty Snips.

A little Calypso Coral splattering was added with a Stampin’ Write Marker. I couldn’t resist adding a heat embossed & fussy cut sentiment on Dimensionals together with a double Linen Twine bow tucked under part of the sentiment with Glue Dots. The Linen Twine had been coloured with the Dark Calypso Coral Blend. A few Petal Pink Foiled Gems also were coloured with the same Blend marker and added near the sentiment.

To increase the effect of the front fussy cut edge, a strip of Calypso Coral / Cajun Craze Thoughtful Design SDSP was adhered inside the card on the right hand side. The mid-sized peony image was also added to the card inner in Basic Beige ink. A Basic White C6 Envelope was also stamped with a few peonies.

AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop #16 Calypso Coral

Calypso Coral with Bird’s Eye View and some Stampin’ Blends & Blending

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. We are working though the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order, focussing on one colour each week.

This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a softer orange called Calypso Coral. Calypso Coral is one of the Subtles Colour Family and while I would not call it a true subtle it is paler that an orange  orange. This colour would be a lovely when used for flowers, coral, fish and birds and so much more.

Calypso Coral is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads & re-inkers); Stampin' Write Marker; Stampin' Blends Combo; Watercolour Pencils (Assortment 1); Subtles Designer Series Paper as well as Les Shoppes, Delightfully Eclectic, Let’s Go Fishing, Inked Botanicals DSP, plus Friends Forever & Colourful Kaleidoscope & Wreath of Blooms Kits; and Ombré Matte Decorative Dots & Iridescent Pastel Gems. That is quite a list.

Calypso Coral card-stock, ink, Stampin’ Write Marker and Stampin’ Blends combo have been used in the creation of these projects plus a range of non-Calypso Coral bits and pieces.

I love Calypso Coral so there was a plethora of possibilities for my project. I decided to choose something that hadn’t seen ink yet and decided on the oh so cute Bird’s Eye View stamp set. I was thinking of a simple layout but ended up using 4 different stamps/bundles and an embossing folder - ended up not so clean and simple!!!

I started by stamping 3 of the little birds on Basic White card-stock with Versamark ink, Gold Emboss Powder, the Embossing Accessory Kit and a Heat Tool. The birds were coloured with Stampin’ Blends, ie Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Crumb Cake combos, a little Light Lemon Lolly and the Colour Lifter. I later decided to add some gold embossed flowers from the Petal Park stamp set that were also coloured with Light Calypso Coral, Petal Pink combo and Light Lemon Lolly Blends. The birds were fussy cut as they were from a stand alone stamp set. The flowers should have been punched out but I couldn’t find my punch so needed to fussy cut them - just as well I like fussy cutting.

With a Basic White Thick card-stock card base, a Basic White card-stock layer was cut in two - roughly divided into a third/2 thirds. The larger piece was embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder and a little Calypso Coral was splattered over with a Stampin’ Write Marker. The smaller piece of white card-stock had Balmy Blue Classic Stampin’ ink blended over part of it using a Stampin’ Blending Brush. It doesn’t really show in the photos as it became very lighter the further up - but I know it’s there. Foliage was cut from extra Basic White card-stock using one of the Gorgeously Made dies. Some Lost Lagoon ink was blended over sections of the foliage.

All the pieces were arranged (and re-arranged) over the area where the 2 background layers converged and adhered in place with either Multi-purpose Liquid Glue, Mini Dimensionals or Glue Dots.

A sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set was gold heat embossed on Basic White card-stock and fussy cut. First I had tried a white embossed sentiment on Calypso Coral card-stock but it was too strong in colour and detracted from the subtle colours. When positioning the white/gold sentiment I remembered I had the Calypso Coral sentiment so I layered it slightly off-set under the gold embossed sentiment. This gave a subtle Calypso Coral shadowing. Some Basic White Herringbone ribbon was cut in half down the centre lengthwise and one piece was tied into a bow before being being partially tucked under the ‘Th’ of the sentiment with a few Glue Dots. The final touch was the addition of some of the Calypso Coral Ombré Matte Decorative Dots.

A Basic White card-stock inner had a thin strip of Calypso Coral card-stock at the bottom. A few leftover coloured pieces of leaves, flowers and a little bird decorated the inside of the card. A C6 Basic White envelope was gold embossed with some flowers.

Thank you for dropping in to check out my Calypso Coral card. I so appreciate you.

Stay well, stay safe and be kind to yourself and others.

AWHT Colour Creations #12 Calypso Coral

Calypso Coral with Count on Me, Perched in a Tree & Country Wreaths

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. We are working though the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. 

This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a pinky orange called Calypso Coral. Calypso Coral is part of the Subtles Colour Family and is a beautiful soft orange with a bit of oomph. This colour is lovely when used with Petal Pink or yellows, oranges or pinks. 

Calypso Coral is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads & re-inkers); Stampin' Write Markers; Water-colour Pencils; Stampin' Blends; Subtles Designer Series Paper as well as Gingham Cottage, Storybook Gnomes, Butterfly Kisses, Awash in Beauty, Happy Forest Friends, Pretty Prints and Painted Christmas DSPs; plus Splendid Day SDSP and Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems & Fun Floral Resin Shapes; and Today is the Day Memories & More Card Pack. 

My card uses Calypso Coral Classic Stampin' ink and card-stock as well as other non CC bits and pieces. To create this project I have used 2 different bundles and a 3rd stamp set.

I want to acknowledge Cindy Schuster from The Crafty Carrot Collective for the inspiration for my card. Cindy created a card in a Crafty Carrot's tutorial this past week featuring the Aspen Trees dies. I have CASEd her design but used water-colouring rather than Stampin' Blends for most of the colouring, as well as different stamps and other dies. As I watched Cindy create, the seeds were sewn for this card to come into being. Thank you Cindy.

A piece of Shimmery White card-stock was cut using the oval tree die from the Aspen Tree dies. It is amazing - I love it. The trees were water-coloured with Gray Granite Classic ink and a medium Water Painter. As I walked this morning I was checking out nearby gum trees and noticed they were a really light browny grey with some darker patches.  This has influenced my water-colouring of the trees. Fluid 100 Watercolor paper was used for the water-coloured background with Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo Classic inks and a wide-brush Water Painter. I had a summer sunset in mind. Once dry, the die cut panel was added to the background panel with Dimensionals. I love the depth this creates.

The koalas stamp from the Count on Me stamp set was stamped in Black Momento ink and coloured with Blends, ie Smoky Slate combo, SU700 and my trusty Colour Lifter. The koalas were fussy cut. An off-cut of Fluid 100 Watercolor paper was coloured with Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz Classic inks. Once dry, tiny leaf dies from the Country Wreaths die set cut a series of leaves.

Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla twine from the Basic Twine Pack were wrapped around the front panel and then tied in a bow. A sentiment from Perched in a Tree stamp set was white heat embossed on Calypso Coral card-stock using Versamark ink, White Emboss Powder and a Heat Gun. The sentiment was cut out and added with Mini Dimensionals and Tombow Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. Some gorgeous Iridescent Basic Rhinestone Jewels added that touch of glimmer and I couldn't resist adding more shimmer with a splatter of Wink of Stella.

The little koalas were stamped off and stamped in the centre of a Basic White card-stock inner and left over die cut leaves were scattered around. A C6 Basic White envelope was stamped with a branch from the Perched in a Tree set and a koala. A little leaf was added as well. 

Thank you so much for dropping by. I do value the time you spent here.

There is more Calypso Coral creativity. To continue with the blog hop, click on the "next" graphic below to be taken to the blog of a special lady, Kate Morgan. I always look forward to checking out Kate's creation (I wonder what she has in store this week). I do love seeing everyones' projects - always so much inspiration.

Hope to see you next week when we will be featuring Cherry Cobbler as we continue the weekly 2022-2023 Colour Creations blog hops.

Also, many of us are joining a Heart of Christmas Blog Hop on Monday evenings which will continuing until the end of November. Don't forget to check out these blog hops featuring a range of Christmas projects. I'm hoping starting Christmas creativity early will lessen pressure in December. 

Stay well, stay safe and be kind to yourself and others.

AWHT Colour Creations #9 Calypso Coral

Calypso Coral with Plentiful Plants

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art With Heart Team Colour Creations Blog Hop.

This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a slightly pale and muted orange called Calypso Coral.  It is classified under the Subtles Colour Family. Calypso Coral is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads & re-inker) and a number of Designer Series Papers including You're A Peach, Pansy Petals, Sweet Symmetry and the Subtles DSPs as well as the delightful Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

As its name suggests, Calypso Coral could be used to depict coral, as well as autumn leaves, orangey flowers (I have a rose in this colour) and for some fruit such as peaches (as illustrated in the "You're a Peach" DSP). As I started to work on a design for a Calypso Coral project I was reminded that a friend had a birthday in a day or two and she really loves the Plentiful Plants bundle - so I decided to create a card for her using this bundle. I also love this bundle and was lost in the creative process when I rememberred near completion of the card I that I had used the same bundle last week for the Cajun Craze project. The card layouts are different but Calypso Coral and Cajun Craze have a similar hue, even though the latter is a deeper rustier colour - they are similar but different. My apologies for the similarity. I hope you like this version:

The You're a Peach DSP includes a lovely Calypso Coral stripe. This was used for the card design background and was mounted onto a piece of Calypso Coral card-stock before being adhered directly to a Thick Basic White card-stock base leaving a fine white border. 

The second largest Scalloped Contours die cut a Basic White stitched panel, which was then dry embossed with the Painted Texture 3 D embossing folder. This is such a gorgeous embossing folder - I love the texture. A fine gold diamond shaped frame from the delightful Expressions Of Ink Ephemera pack was adhered to the centre of the embossed panel.

Using a number of stamps from the Perfect Plants stamp set, a pot was stamped in Cajun Craze Classic Stampin' ink and leaves were stamped in Soft Sea Foam and Pear Pizzaz Classic inks on Basic White card-stock. The stamped images were die cut with the coordinating dies from the Perfect Plants die set and a Macrame pot hanger was cut from Shimmery White card-stock with another 2 from Basic White card-stock. The die cut hanger was water-coloured with Calypso Coral ink and a Water Painter. Once dry the 3 pot hangers were adhered together with the coloured one on top. This gives depth to the hanger as macrame would. (Yes, I confess - I used to make macrame pot hangers back in the good 'ole days when it was all the rage.)

A little Gold Simply Elegant Trim was threaded through the holder ring and adhered to the back of the embossed panel. The pot, hanger and leaves were adhered with a couple of Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A couple of gold leaf pieces from the Ephemera pack were added as well. Three Pale Papaya Loose Flower Flourishes were coloured with a Dark Calypso Coral Stampin' Blend and then added to the arrangement with Glue Dots. 

A sentiment from the Sweet as a Peach stamp set was stamped on Basic White card-stock with Calypso Coral ink and then fussy cut. This was popped up on Dimensionals. The card front panel was added to the DSP layer with Dimensionals. It wasn't finished until a few self-adhesive sequins from the Ephemera pack were added.

The card inner was created by adding a strip of the DSP to a piece of Basic White card-stock.  It was mounted on a slightly larger piece of Calypso Coral card-stock. A trimmed down pot hanger with a die cut Cajun Craze card-stock pot and some Soft Sea Foam stamped plants were added to the RHS. I had prepared this pot plant previously as I was initially thinking of having 2 pot hangers on the front. It wasn't wasted as it looks great inside the card together with a sentiment from the Sunny Sentiments stamp set in Calypso Coral ink.  A C6 Basic White envelope was decorated with a fussy cut pot plant from the coordinating DSP (it was already cut and sitting on my desk).

I really enjoyed creating this Calypso Coral card and including products from a mix of suites. I do love the Plentiful Plants bundle - it is so much fun to play with. 

If you are in Australia, don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would like your own copy of Stampin' Up's 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and or the new July - December 2021 Mini Catalogue, then let me know and I will be delighted to send them to you. Please don't hesitate to make contact with any other queries about this project or Stampin' Up!. 

There is more Calypso Coral creativity. To continue with the blog hop, click on the "next" graphic below to be taken to the delightful Christine Blain's blog. I am looking forward to checking out Christine's creation as well as everyone else's. 

Hope to see you next week when we will be featuring Cherry Cobbler; and don't forget the AWH Heart of Christmas Blog Hop that occurs every Monday evening until mid-December.

Stay well, stay safe and be kind to yourself and others.

Heart of Christmas 2020 - August

Art with Heart Team Heart of Christmas 2020 with Poinsettia Wreaths

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the second Heart of Christmas 2020 Showcase.

We are now half way through August and Christmas still seems quite a way off, however, the next few months will disappear quickly, so I really appreciate the Heart of Christmas 2020 Showcase to help me focus on creating in readiness for the festive season. Stampin' Up! have released their August - December 2020 Mini Catalogue with gorgeous products to help us make lovely projects. Leave me a message if you would like a copy of the new Mini Catalogue, if you are in Australia. I'd be delighted to help you.

I've created two projects this month. The two cards feature wreaths with poinsettias. Some aspects of the cards are the same or similar but the cards are different. I hope you like them. 

CARD 1: Long thin cards appear to be "in" at present so I thought I would give one a go. The size aligns with a standard DL envelope. I plan to make an envelope for this card but haven't created it as yet.

The card base is cut out of Thick Whisper White card-stock and the card front is made with a light wooden-like sheet from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (DSP) mounted with a thin boarder of a Brass Foil sheet. I so love this colour of foil - it is rich and delectable.

The card front was embossed at the top and bottom with one of the Meadow Moments embossing folders. The wreath was based on a luscious Gold Hoop embellishment. These hoops are soooo gorgeous. The hoop appears to be hanging on the Forever Greenery Trim Open Weave ribbon that is tied with the Gold trim from the same Combo Pack. The ribbon is tucked to the back of the card front before the card front was adhered directly to the base.

The poinsettias, a few leaves and some berries were fussy cut from one of the sheets of the Flowers for Every Season DSP. Holly leaves were fussy cut from one of the sheets of the Poinsettia Place DSP. This is great for those who aren't into colouring. Larger berries were die cut from Brass Foil using the Poinsettia dies. These elements were arranged with the  poinsettias raised on Mini Dimensionals. 

A sentiment from In The Pines stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed using Gold Emboss powder on a small piece of the same DSP as was used for the card front. A little Wink of Stella was added to the poinsettias to give a little extra shimmer. This isn't picked up by the camera, but is great in real life.

To coordinate with the card front the card inner had thin strips of the Brass foil added at the top and bottom with extra fussy cut holly leaves.

CARD 2: As mentioned, my second card features a wreath (but a different type of wreath) with poinsettias (but different poinsettias). The size of this card is standard rather the long thin style. The card base was the same Thick Whisper White card-stock and the card front was made from the same wood-like DSP from the In Good Taste DSP, that had been embossed with the Pinewood 3D embossing folder and was mounted on Brass Foil with a thin boarder showing. The card front was popped up on Dimensionals to give some dimension and to adhere the front to the card base.

The wreath was created using the Wreath Builder dies. In the set there are two wreath dies, one with little twigs and buds the other with leaves. The first was cut out of a Brass Foil sheet while the leaf die cut a Garden Green and an Old Olive card-stock layer.  The Garden Green and Old Olive leaves were sponged with Whisper White Craft ink using Sponge Dauber. Each single wreath was layered one on the other ensuring part of the lower wreaths showed. 

The poinsettias were cut using the poinsettia die (from the same die set) with two pieces cut from Calypso Coral card-stock for each flower. As you can see there are three flowers. Six tiny flowers were cut from Whisper White card-stock. The poinsettia pieces also were sponged with Whisper White Craft ink and the tiny flowers were daubed with Petal Pink Classic Stampin' Up! ink and the edges with Calypso Coral Classic Stampin' Up! ink. 

The flowers were arranged with the poinsettias adhered with Mini Dimensionals. Two extra brass foil twigs also were added. The sentiment from the Arrange a Wreath stamp set was stamped on a little off-cut of the DSP with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Gold Emboss powder. This was fussy cut and positioned in the centre with Mini Dimensionals. 

The card inner was stamped with part of the wreath from the Arrange a Wreath stamp set in Calypso Coral Classic Stampin' Up! ink and a die cut Brass foil bow from the Wreath Builder dies was added. The same wreath was similarly stamped onto a Whisper White envelope.

A bow using the Vanilla Open Weave ribbon and the Gold Twine from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack was adhered in place with Mini Glue Dots. Five tiny Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added to the centre of each poinsettia and one to the tiny flowers to finish off the wreath.

I love wreaths and the Arrange a Wreath bundle provides so many creative opportunities.

I had fun creating two similar, but different Poinsettia Wreath cards. I hope you like them too.

Thank you for sharing the Heart of Christmas 2020 Showcase. I hope you are enjoying the blog hop and finding inspiration. We are always excited to see each others creations and are always inspired by one another.
