AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop #49 Sweet Sorbet

Sweet Sorbet with Dainty Delight & Paper Florist

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 is the penultimate week for the 2023-2024 round. The year has disappeared so quickly.


This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a strong red with a slight purple tinge called Sweet Sorbet. Sweet Sorbet is part of the retiring 2022-2024 In Color Family and is a pretty red. This colour is lovely for flowers, hearts, a red and white colour scheme and anything you would like red.


Sweet Sorbet 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; In Color Designer Series Paper as well as Masterfully Made & Bee Mine DSPs; Adhesive-backed Hearts & Flowers, In Color Pearls; In Color Bakers Twine, and In Colour Metallic Woven ribbon. All of these products are retiring at the end of the month unless sold out earlier. If you love them - don’t wait to place your order. 

How about creating a Sweet Sorbet fun fold card full of flowers to a special friend to help them to celebrate.

Sweet Sorbet ink, card-stock, Stampin’ Write Marker, Masterfully Made and Bee Mine DSPs, In Color Pearls and Adhesive-backed Hearts and Flowers embellishments have been used in the creation of this project plus a range of non-Sweet Sorbet bits and pieces.


I saw this fancy fold created demonstrated recently by Emma Goddard, a very talented UK Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and it was fresh in my mind so it made its way into this project. As can easily happen the card evolved and ended up including a range of products from different suites & bundles. It also ended up using 2 completely different DSPs that both included Sweet Sorbet, ie the Masterfully Made DSP that includes Sweet Sorbet flowers and the Bee Mine DSP with its Sweet Sorbet hearts.

I started with one of the designs of Masterfully Made DSP and die cut a series of pieces from Basic White card-stock to create a number of flowers using the Paper Florist dies and the Meadows dies (both sets of dies are retiring too). The flowers were coloured with a Blending Brush, ensuring the tips of the flowers were pale and the centres darker. Sweet Sorbet, Fresh Freesia, Berry Burst and Daffodil Delight were the ink colours. Some Shaded Spruce was blended over the front Basic White card-stock panel. The choice of these colours were inspired by the DSP.

The back inside panel of the card was stamped in Momento ink with the larger image from the Dainty Delight stamp set (another retiring item). I re-inked my Momento ink pad and it drank in the ink quickly - and wow, what a difference it made to the stamped image. I don’t know about you, but it can be easy to keep using our ink pads and forget to give them a little TLC. It does make a difference and improves the end result so much.

After forming the flowers and arranging them with the leaves, something else was needed, so 3 sizes of bees from the Bee Mine DSP were fussy cut and added for a whimsical touch.  (Sometimes I can have a pixie-ish sense of humour.) A sentiment from the Dainty Delight Stamp set was stamped in Momento ink and fussy cut out.

The card was finished with a triple Sweet Sorbet Bakers Twine bow, Sweet Sorbet In Color Pearls and some Sweet Sorbet little Adhesive Backed Hearts. A little Sweet Sorbet splattering was added with a Stampin’ Write Marker.

A Basic White panel for writing a personal message was adhered onto the Sweet Sorbet inner Z fold. It was splattered using the Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Write Marker and the larger bee and heart was adhered partially over the white panel and the stamped floral image.  A Basic White C6 envelope was also stamped with the larger Dainty Delight image to coordinate with the card.

AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop #37 Orchid Oasis

Orchid Oasis with Hot Air Balloon & Stargazing

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 beautiful deep blue/purple called Orchid Oasis. Orchid Oasis is one of the 2022-2024 In Colours that will be retiring in May. I love both this colour and Starry Sky even though initially I thought they were too similar. This colour is lovely with mauves & purples or with blues or pinks.


Orchid Oasis 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; 2022-2024 In Colors Designer Series Paper as well as Stargazing, Meandering Meadows and Perennial Lavendar DSPs; In Colour Metallic Woven Ribbon, Bakers Twine Pack; and 2022-2024 In Colour Pearls


Orchid Oasis ink, card-stock, Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Write Marker, Stargazing DSP Bakers Twine and In Colour Pearls have been used in the creation of these projects plus a range of non-Orchid Oasis bits and pieces.


I need to create 3 birthday cards for fellas - so I took up the challenge to create two of the cards using Orchid Oasis. They say for males that an interactive card is a good idea - so they are both fun folds, though different folds.


I used the Hot Air Balloon bundle from the January - April Mini Catalogue for the first card. I have seen similar folds called “Inside Out” style folds as part of the card inner can be seen from the outside. Two Basic White card-stock panels were partially die cut with the cloud like die from the Basic Borders dies to give the card a sense of clouds enveloping Hot Air Balloons floating in the sky. I needed to partially cut down one side, then move the die to cut nearer the bottom of the panel. The white panel had been cut wide enough to go across the card front plus 1cm to score and fold and adhere to the back and the central Orchid Oasis card panel.


Another panel of Basic White cardstock was coloured to give an impression of clouds. A separate piece of card-stock had been cut with the clouds border die and repeatedly positioned and coloured over using a Blending Brush with Balmy Blue and Boho Blue Classic Stampin’ inks - gradually getting darker as I moved up the panel. Similar blending was lightly added to the side cloud panels.


Using the Hot Air Balloon stamp set, 2 different sized balloons were stamped in Orchid Oasis and Lemon Lolly Classic inks on Basic White card-stock. They were cut out with the coordinating dies. Extra decorative pieces were cut from Basic White card-stock. While die cutting some clouds were also cut out. The die cut clouds and the balloon baskets also had a touch of Balmy Blue blending added. It’s not picked up in the photos, but the little baskets were dry embossed with the Twisted Rope 3D Embossing Folder. While no one may notice this little addition - it made me smile to add the texture.


The background panel was sprinkled with a little water to add some extra texture.  Some Orchid Oasis was also splattered on each panel using a Stampin’ Write Marker. The hot air balloons and clouds were positioned on the various panels with either Multi-purpose Liquid Glue or Dimensionals, ensuring a cohesive scene from the front and when the card was opened. I wanted to add some birds in the sky, but realised I didn’t have any current stamp sets with tiny birds so I drew them in with a Smoky Slate Stampin’ Write Marker.


The final touches were the addition of a hidden sentiment from the same set of stamps that was white heat embossed onto Orchid Oasis card-stock and die cut with a curved label die from the coordinating dies. I couldn’t help myself - so I added some twisted and knotted Orchid Oasis Bakers Twine around the sentiment and a few Iridescent Basic Rhinestone Jewels - just a very subtle touch of bling. 


A Basic White panel for writing a personal message was adhered to the back of the centre panel. Before the writing panel was added, an Orchid Oasis Light Blend was used to colour the edges of the white card-stock that had been adhered to the back of the card to hold the cloud panels in place. The writing panel was coloured with some blended clouds and another sentiment (from the Softly Said stamp set) was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink.  A Basic White C6 envelope was also coloured with some blended clouds. 


CARD 2:


Here it is from a different angle.


This fancy fold has been around for a number of years but recently I saw Sue Campfield, a US Demonstrator, create cards using a similar fold. I converted her Imperial measurements to suit our A4 card-stock, ensuring this card would only take half an A4 sheet of Orchid Oasis card-stock. Also, I have folded it a different way - slightly.


The scored and cut sections were covered with one of the amazing designs of the Stargazing DSP. Both the front and back sections were able to be covered using only 1 piece of DSP with a couple of strips remaining. Two designs included various colours of planets. Planets were cut using the coordinating dies from one of the sheets. A planetary ring was cut from the darker Holographic Speciality Foil. The smaller eclipse shape needed to be extended to fit around the mid size planet. Some stars were also die cut from the same Holographic Foil.


The planets and stars were adhered in place with either Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Dimensionals. A sentiment from the Season of Chic stamp set was white heat embossed on Orchid Oasis card-stock and fussy cut out. Some gorgeous Orchid Oasis 2022-2024 In Color Pearls were the finishing touch for the card front.


As mentioned, the back of the card was also covered with this beautiful DSP. I needed to fiddle a little to keep the colour and design flowing.  Extra planets were positioned and trimmed so some planets flowed across folds. A Basic White panel was added to the centre section for writing a personal message. A sentiment from the Dainty Delight stamp set was stamped in Orchid Oasis

A C6 Basic White Envelope had a couple of part planets from the edge of the DSP adhered in place and part of a left over strip of DSP was adhered to the envelope flap. And yes, it does fold into a C6 Envelope.


Thank you so much for dropping by on your way around the Orchid Oasis Colour Creations Blog Hop. I am sure there will be so much Orchid Oasis inspiration as you hop around. Don’t miss it.

AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop #7 Bubble Bath

Bubble Bath with Queen Bee & Dainty Delight Fancy Fold

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, however, we are starting with the newly introduced colours, and currently focussing on the new Core Colours.


This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a very pretty pink called Bubble Bath. Bubble Bath is part of the Subtle Colour Family and is a clean light pink. This colour would be a lovely for baby cards, flowers and anything pink. I love it. As with the other new colours, I am exploring coordinating colours but it work’s well with Moody Mauve & Crumb Cake (as used in the card below).


Bubble Bath 
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; Subtles Designer Series Paper as well as Fresh As A Daisy, Bright & Beautiful, Delightfully Eclectic DSPs; plus Soft Shimmer Speciality Paper; Bright & Beautiful Memories & More Card Pack and Cards & Envelopes; Sheer Ribbon Combo; and Opaque Ovals.


Bubble Bath card-stock, ink, Bright & Beautiful DSP, Blends Combo and Sheer Ribbon have been used in the creation of these projects plus a range of non-Bubble Bath bits and pieces.


Isn’t Bubble Bath such a pretty pale pink? I loved working with it. I also wanted to use some Designer Series Paper for my project as this month Stampin’ Up! have a DSP sale running throughout June. Do you have DSP on your wish list? Then don’t miss saving 15% this month. I have used one of the designs of the Bright & Beautiful DSP on my project. It is such a versatile pack and features all of the new and returning core colours.


Bubble Bath cardstock was used for this fancy fold’s card base and pieces of the ombre Bubble Bath DSP were cut to fit all of the visible card panels apart from the front focal panel which is Basic White card-stock. This front white panel was stamped diagonally with the larger word/splatter stamp from the Queen Bee stamps in stamped off Crumb Cake Classic Stampin’ ink. You may be thinking “but this stamp set isn’t in the new 2023-2024 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue”. You are right - it isn’t in the Annual Catalogue, however, the stamp set has carried over and is available on-line. I do love this set. I have paired it with the Dainty Delight dies to create the added leaves & flowers.


The front white panel was embossed with the new Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. It is another amazing embossing folder. The Queen Bee stamps includes a little splatter stamp that I used also with Bubble Bath ink lightly on the front panel. The front panels of DSP were stamped with the tall floral stamp in stamped off Crumb Cake ink. As I was working on the card, I still found the Crumb Cake stamping a bit dark & dominant so I added a little blending of White Craft ink and one of Stampin’ Up!s delightful Blending Brushes. It did soften the stamping.


The beautiful queen bee was gold embossed on both Basic White and Vellum cardstocks. As the  coordinating dies didn’t carry over the bees were fussy cut and the Vellum bee wings and head  were all that was used from the Vellum bee. The card-stock bee was coloured with Bubble Bath, Moody Mauve & Crumb Cake Blends combos. Flowers and leaves were die cut from Basic White card-stock using the Dainty Delight dies. Colour was lightly added to the die cut pieces with Blending Brushes, ie Crumb Cake to the leaves and Bubble Bath and Moody Mauve in different amounts to flowers. The pieces were arranged and added with either Multi-purpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals and Glue Dots. An extra flower, leaves and small gold embossed bee were added to the top facade of the central panel. 


“Happy” & “Birthday” from the Queen Bee stamp set were stamped in Bubble Bath ink; fussy cut out and added with Dimensionals. The Bubble Bath Sheer ribbon was cut lengthwise only removing the shiny stitched edge. This was tied into a single bow and tucked under an edge of the sentiment. Both sizes of Iridescent Pearls were coloured with the Dark Bubble Bath Blend and added to flower centres and around the sentiment. The Iridescent Pearls are so delightful, adding a little extra shimmer to your project.


The back panel of the fancy fold was prepared for writing one’s personal message by adhering a piece of Basic White card-stock that had a 1cm strip of coordinating DSP adhered to the left side with a touch of remaining die cut & coloured flowers & leaves and a few coloured Iridescent Pearls. A C6 Basic White Envelope was stamped with the tall floral stem in stamped off Crumb Cake ink. By “stamped off” I am referring to a technique where after inking the stamp, it is stamped onto a piece of scrap paper before being stamped onto your project. This lightens the ink colour.


Thank you so much for spending time with me on my blog. It is appreciated.



There is much more Bubble Bath creativity so do continue with the blog hop. Just click the "next" graphic below to be taken to the blog of my fellow South Aussie and friend, the special Tina GillespieI am looking forward to checking out Tina’s wonderful creation.

AWHT Colour Creations #34 Pacific Point

Pacific Point with New and Continuing Products

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the first Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop for 2023. Happy New Year! We are continuing to work though the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order, focussing on one colour each week.



This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a a bright blue called Pacific Point. Pacific Point is part of the Brights Colour Family and is a great colour - intense, clean and bright. This colour is lovely when used for sea, dramatic skies and where a bright blue is required. 


Pacific Point is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads re-inkers); Stampin' Write Markers; Watercolor Pencils; Brights Designer Series Paper as well as Happy Forest Friends, Gingerbread & Peppermint and Beauty of the Earth DSPs; plus Old Olive & Sahara Sand Twill Ribbon Combo Pack, Glitter Washi Four Pack and Faux Sea Glass Shapes. 

Pacific Point card-stock, ink, Stampin' Write Marker and Watercolor Pencil have been used in these projects plus a range of non-Pacific Point bits and pieces. Here are my cards:


I started playing with Pacific Point between Christmas and New Year, starting with some water-colouring and then some blending. As life was quiet, I ended up creating 3 different cards for this blog hop.

CARD 1:


A friend loves the Superb Fairy Wren that we have in our area, that has patches of bright blue. Pacific Point seemed perfect to colour our little fairy wren. Toni's birthday is later in the year so hopefully I must put it aside in the Birthday Book that Stampin' Up! has released in Kit form. Check it out - it is a great kit that also comes with cards to be made.


I started by creating the background on Shimmery White card-stock using Pacific Point & Polished Pink Classic  Stampin' inks with the wide-brushed Water painter. I only wanted a light background so it didn't compete with the focal images. Once the background had dried it was splattered with both a Pacific Point Stampin' Write Marker and White Craft ink with the fine tipped Water Painter.


The die cut card front (Shimmery White card-stock) was cut using the large Aspen ... die. I so love this die. As you can see it cuts out tree trunks in an oval shape hole. The tree trunks were very lightly water-coloured with Crumb Cake ink. When dry, the panel was embossed using the Woodgrain 3D Embossing Folder and splattered with both Pacific Point and Crumb Cake Stampin' Write Markers. 


The smaller leaf die from the Aspen Tree ... dies cut a number of leaves from Shimmery White card-stock. They were water-coloured with Polished Pink ink. The bird and branch from the Perched in a Tree stamp set were stamped in Crumb Cake ink, then Versamark ink and clear heat embossed using Clear Emboss Powder and a Heat Tool. My Stamperatus ensured the clear embossing was directly over the Crumb Cake ink. The bird and branch were water-coloured using Crumb Cake ink and touches of White Craft ink and the bird was also coloured with Pacific Point and Night of Navy inks. To add extra depth of colour I used Pacific Point, Early Expresso and Back Black Watercolor Pencils.


A couple of sentiments from the Something Fancy stamp set were stamped either in Crumb Cake or Pacific Point inks. Both sentiments were fussy cut and I combined part of a word from one sentiment into another sentiment. Don't forget that you can chop up sentiments and only use part of them or mix and match to get a sentiment that is perfect for the recipient. All the pieces were layered together onto a Pacific Point card-stock base and a few Iridescent Pearls add the finishing touch.


The card inner used a thin strip of the water-coloured background paned and an extra water-coloured leaf with another sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set with an extra fussy cut word from another sentiment - all stamped in Pacific Point. A C6 Basic White Envelope was simply stamped with the bird in Crumb Cake ink.


I hope my friend likes her Birthday card.

CARD 2:


Adding colour directly to coloured card-stock changes the colour as you can see with this card. Pacific Point was blended directly onto Smoky Slate card-stock using one of Stampin' Up!s gorgeous Blending Brushes. A piece of Stampin' Up!s Masking Paper was die cut with a Stitched Rectangle from the ... set of dies. If you look closely you with see the stitched outline around the coloured rectangle. It is an extra touch of gorgeousness that happens with no extra effort. It's wonderful. A touch of White Craft ink and Night of Navy Classic ink was also added to give extra monochromatic range. 


A panel of Smoky Slate card-stock was embossed with the new Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder and added to a Smoky Slate card base. The blended panel was trimmed down and splattered with water and then some White Craft ink. I love the effect of the different splatters. Some White Bakers Twine from the Basics Bakers Twine bundle was wrapped around the blended panel and tied in a bow.


The new Dainty Delight set of dies was used to cut some leaves and flowers from Basic White card-stock. They were arranged over the blended panel and adhered with either Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Mini Dimensionals. A panel of Basic White card-stock was adhered askew behind the front panel and then this card front was popped up onto the card base with Dimensionals.


A sentiment from the coordinating new Dainty Delight stamp set was white heat embossed onto Smoky Slate card-stock and the fussy cut out. A tad of blending was added to the edge of the sentiment before it was added to the card front with Dimensionals. The finishing touch was the addition of some Iridescent Pearls.


The card inner was simply a panel of Backs white card-stock that had been stamped with a stem of flowers from the Dainty Delight stamp set in Pacific Point ink. Similarly, A C6 Envelope was stamped with the same floral stem. I do love coordinating the card inner and envelope with the card design - it doesn't have to be involved or difficult.


This card started out with the idea of a sympathy card but the addition of a white panel behind the front panel lightened up the feel and I thought I would use it as a New Year's card.

CARD 3:


I created 2 water-coloured panels when I first stared playing with Pacific Point. I had a number of ideas of how I would use the panel on this card, but in the end decided to use it behind the ... large floral die cut from the new ... Isn't it beautiful. It was cut from a piece of basic White card-stock and adhered directly onto the water-coloured  











There is more Pacific Point creativity.

I do love seeing everyones' projects - there is always inspiration.

I hope to see you next week when we will be featuring Pale Papaya, one of the 2021-2023 In Colour family as we continue our weekly 2022-2023 Colour Creations Blog Hops.
