AWH Heart of Christmas #14

Christmas with Sweet Stockings and Penguin Place

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart Team 2021 Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. 

So glad you are joining us for this Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. I love creating for Christmas, however, the week seemed to disappear given various commitments and time was limited for creating plus I was experiencing some health difficulties. As such, I used bits and pieces previously prepared and laying around my crafting space and CASEd layouts as my inspiration was waining.

CHRISTMAS CARD 1:

While staying overnight with a friend, Kathryn Mangelsdorf, who was holidaying at Middleton, I took the Sweet Stockings DSP with me and a pair of snips and relaxed with some fussy cutting in the evening. A range of cats, dogs, mouse & bird had been fussy cut - so were ready and waiting. I also had the Basic White slimline card base sitting on my desk. 

I thank Emma Goddard, a UK Demonstrator, for inspiration for this card. I attended one of Emma's fabulous classes by Zoom over the weekend where the Penguins Place bundle was the focus. It was a fun time with great projects. 

With a spare slimline card base and a number of fussy cut critters, I CASEd one of Emma's project layouts to create this card, using a range of different products.

The background had some blending with Pool Party Classic Stampin' ink and a Blending Brush; then some little stars from the Sweet Little Stockings stamp set were stamped in Pool Party ink. The fussy cut critters were arranged and were either adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue or popped up on Dimensionals. I certainly had fun arranging the animals, trying to align expressions with  placement, ie a cat checking out the mouse with the present and another cat eyeing off the fishbowl. I know, I have a pixie-ish sense of humour sometimes.

A sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Cherry Cobbler Classic ink onto Basic White card-stock and then fussy cut with my trusty Snips. The sentiment was layered on Dimensionals and a fussy cut bird added on a Dimensional as well.

The Basic White card front was adhered directly to a Thick Basic White slimline card-stock base with liquid glue. A few of the Matte Decorative Dots were added near the sentiment and some Wink of Stella flicked over (although this isn't picked up by the camera).

The card inner was created with some of the stars stamped in Pool Party ink on the Basic White card inner. "Sending lots of love" also from the Sweet Little Stockings stamp set was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and a strip of DSP that was also used to create an envelope, was added at the bottom of the card inner. The DSP used for the custom made envelope came from the Sweet Stockings DSP.  A pre-cut label (cut using the Stitched So Sweetly dies) was adhered to the fronton the envelope for writing the address. 

CHRISTMAS CARD 2:

My second card is a slightly stepped up version of a card that was made in one of my classes about 6 weeks ago. I had a few kits left over from the class and as the sample card was misplaced at the class, I used one of the kits to create this card.

The card front was embossed with the Evergreen Forrest 3D Embossing Folder and some Just Jade from the Dark Just Jade Stampin' Blend was splattered over the trees. The largest circle from the Layering Circle dies cut a "sky" circle of DSP from the Beauty of the Earth DSP. This was popped up on Dimensionals.

I had a little stamped penguin sitting on my desk that had been stamped using the Penguins Place bundle with Momento ink, Mango Melody and Highland Heather Classic ink. The sunglasses were created with Basic Black card-stock and the Penguin punch. The Penguin was popped up on a Wobbler so that when he is touched he will wobble. It makes me smile.

Balloons were stamped in Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and Highland Heather, with the strings stamped in Momento. They were fussy cut and then adhered with liquid glue except the Highland Heather balloon that was popped up on a Dimensional. I realised as I was taking the photos that I had adhered the clouds upside down - that's me at the moment, a bit upside down!  I also realised that the clouds had been cut using the Sheep dies, that are now a retired Sale-a-bration product - oops.

To finish off the card, a sentiment from the Penguin Place stamp set had been stamped in Misty Moonlight ink, fussy cut and was added with Dimensionals. Some gorgeous Subtle Shimmer Sequins were added and a little Wink of Stella was flicked over the card.

I ran out of time to add a card inner (a job for the next few days as I don't like to leave naked inners), but a couple of stamped balloons were added to a C6 Basic White envelope.

Thank you so much for spending time with me on my blog. I'm so glad you dropped in.

AWHT Colour Creations #18 Garden Green

Garden Green with Poinsettias and Hand Penned Petals

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart 2021-2022 Colour Creations Blog Hop.

This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a strong and rich green called Garden Green. Garden Green is part of the Regals Colour Family and is a wonderful colour for a range of leaves, grasses & the like.  This week's project was inspired by a wreath I created for the recent Heart of Christmas Blog Hop that went live a couple of days ago. Also, an amazing crafter, Emma Goddard inspired the use of the fancy fold. Emma demonstrated this particular fold at last Friday's Card and a Cuppa session.

Garden Green is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads & re-inkers); Stampin' Write Markers; Watercolor Pencils; the Regals & Painted Christmas, Hand-penned and Bloom Where You Are Planted Designer Series Papers; and the Hand-penned Memories & More Card pack. The cards below have used a mix of Garden Green card-stock and Classic Stampin' ink, Painted Christmas and Hand-penned DSPs together with a range of other bits and pieces.

These Double Diamond Fancy Folds are fun to create and actually quite addictive - hence my 2 cards for this Blog Hop. 

As I was creating the Poinsettia Wreath for my last Heart of Christmas blog post I was also thinking of the fold that I saw a couple of days prior. As the wreath used Garden Green card-stock to die cut pine fronds, I pondered how I could create a card using the same Garden Green pine fronds. With a large poinsettia and 2 minis left over from the wreath, the Double Diamond Poinsettia card became a reality.

As I already had the Real Red and Cherry Cobbler card-stock poinsettias left over from my previous project, I started by cutting pine fronds from Garden Green card-stock using one of the pine dies from the Pinecone dies set. Some leaves and bud stems were die cut out of Silver foil from the Silver Foil Speciality Pack.

The card base was made from half an A4 sheet of Garden Green card-stock. One of the designs from the Painted Christmas DSP was cut into small squares and mounted onto Basic White card-stock for each of the outer squares. The larger inner square was cut from Basic White card-stock and mounted on a slightly larger piece of Garden Green card-stock. This was adhered to the card base on the lower triangular half of this piece.

Shimmery White Embossing paste was added to the tips of the pine fronds and tips of the poinsettia flowers. All the die cut pieces were arranged and adhered with a mix of Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue on to the central focal panel and the 2 front smaller DSP diamonds. Here is a closer look from both sides. 

The "Happy Christmas" sentiment was stamped in Merry Merlot ink on Basic White card-stock. This sentiment was trimmed from a larger sentiment from the Words of Cheer stamp set. (I need to tidy up my work station as products are still out from previous projects, however it was useful to have stamps, etc that could be easily grabbed for this project.)

Some Basic White card-stock was added underneath the card for a place to write a personal message. The full sentiment from the Words of Cheer stamp set was stamped in Merry Merlot. As you can see from the photo below the card is simply folded from the half sheet of card-stock and no glue holds the fold together - it holds itself once folded and standing up.

Project 2: The second card features the same fancy fold and a different DSP, which includes Garden Green as one of the colours, that is the Hand-penned DSP. I really love this DSP design - well, actually I adore the whole suite. I love the colour combinations and the sketchy water-colour effect.

The Basic White card-base was scored and folded and 4 x DSP squares were cut from one of the Hand-penned DSP designs. The DSP pieces were mounted on larger Garden Green pieces and then adhered to the outer diamonds of the folded card.

The larger focal square was cut from Basic White card-stock and mounted onto Garden Green. Before the white piece was mounted, it was dry embossed using the Hello embossing folder from the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folder set. A Blending Brush and some Soft Sea Foam ink was lightly blended over the embossed panel.

Floral stamps and a sentiment from the Hand-penned Petals stamp set were stamped in Momento ink onto Basic White card-stock. The flowers were stamped with the coordinating stamps from the stamp set using colours to match the DSP, ie Pale Papaya and Misty Moonlight. The leaves were coloured with Garden Green ink and a Blender Pen. Some extra Pale Papaya also was added with the Blender Pen. As I wanted to include some of the colouring that intentionally went outside of the line, the flowers, leaves and sentiment were fussy cut.

The flowers and sentiment were arranged and adhered with Dimensionals. A bow was tied using White Bakers Twine and the Gold Elegant Trim and some of the delightful 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels were added to give some gorgeous sparkle.

Two remaining flowers were adhered to the reverse side to add some coordinating "pretty" to decorate the personal message space.

I did have a lot of fun creating these Double Diamond cards and am really enamoured with this fold. Garden Green is a great green to work with when illustrating natures foliage. (My apologies for the photo backgrounds as it was raining and I couldn't use my usual spot; as such I set up on my front porch to use the natural light. I hope to re-photograph tomorrow - weather permitting.)

AWH Heart of Christmas #13

Christmas with a Poinsettia & Pine Wreath

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart Team 2021 Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. 

I'm so glad you are joining us for this Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. I do enjoy creating for Christmas and really loved working on this week's project. I hope you like it:

In the past, one of the ladies who attends a craft group that I teach at twice a term indicated an interest in creating a wreath. Last Friday we created the wreath at the craft group and the ladies went home very happy with their projects.  I had planned to share the wreath with you today. However, not only was it a full class using all the prepared kits but I heard that one of the ladies was not well and would be unable to attend for quite a while, so I asked if the group coordinator could pass on my wreath as a gift to show she was in our thoughts. Hmm, but what was I to do for this Blog Hop? Just as well I had one wreath base left...

The wreath created in class only decorated part of the wreath, whereas this project has decorated all around the whole circle. I started by die cutting poinsettia pieces from both Cherry Cobbler and Real Red craft-stocks using the Poinsettia dies. These dies are gorgeous as they have the ability to emboss leaf veins while die cutting. You may be able to see the veins in this close-up below (although you may need to squint and use your imagination as it is fainter in the photographs).

All of the petals were partially daubered with Merry Merlot Classic Stampin' ink. As you can see, the large poinsettias were created with 3 layers of petals, where-as the smaller flowers used the small and tiny petals. The tiny flowers were a single layer only. All of the poinsettia flowers used Pearl Basic Jewels as the flower centres. I noticed that the above photo does show the one pearl that had been coloured yellow for a previous project.  I needed to use it as I only just had enough of the larger pearls in my stash for my wreath. I didn't mind incorporating the yellow pearl, as nature comes up with unusual variations at times - it just adds interest.

I used one of the large dies from the Christmas Pinecones dies to cut the pine fronds from Garden Green card-stock while the finer fronds were die cut in Shaded Spruce card-stock to add a little variation of colour. Pine fronds were trimmed from the full die cut pieces and then the sections of pinecones were used to adhere directly to the trig wreath. While I would have preferred to have used a glue gun - mine was missing, so I used quite a bit of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. It seemed to worked well. Some pine fronds were also cut from Champagne Foil.

Also, some small pinecones were stamped in Cinnamon Cider and Soft Suede and die cut using the Christmas Season Bundle. With all the pieces prepared, everything was arranged and adhered in place. 

 

I finished the Poinsettia Christmas wreath with many ribbon bows layered on top of each other. Firstly, two ribbons (ie Cherry Cobbler & Gold Ribbon and the Real Red Sheer Ribbon) were tied around the wreath and a knot was tied at the end of the loop to create the loop for hanging the wreath.  Bows were tied with the Metallic Mesh ribbon as well as the Cherry Cobbler & Gold and the Real Red Sheer Ribbons. Many bows were tied as I wanted a voluminous feel.

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

AWHT Colour Creations #17 Flirty Flamingo

Flirty Flamingo with Delicate Dahlias

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart 2021-2022 Colour Creations Blog Hop.

This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on a bright pink called Flirty Flamingo. Flirty Flamingo is part of the Brights Colour Family and is a wonderful colour for flowers and all sorts of pink things. It is a pretty colour.  Flirty Flamingo is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads, re-inkers & Classic Stampin' Spots); Stampin' Write Markers; Watercolor Pencils; the Brights, Sweet Symmetry and Pattern Party Designer Series Papers; as well as the Flirty Flamingo Metallic Ribbon, From the Heart Faceted Gems & Sequins for Everything.

For me there was not difficulty in coming up with ideas for this week's project, but rather in choosing which concept I would work on. I was inspired by a beautiful bunch of flowers that were different shades of Flirty Flamingo pink with some deep cherry red roses. However, I thought I would work in reverse with a Flirty Flamingo/Cherry Cobbler water-colour background and the flowers outlined in gold heat embossing with some shading in grey, ie Gray Granite. I love a pink and grey colour scheme. The card below has used Flirty Flamingo card-stock, Classic ink and the Flirty Flamingo Metallic Ribbon, plus a range of other bits and pieces.

I started by creating a water colour background using Flirty Flamingo, Cherry Cobbler and a little Gray Granite Classic Stampin' ink on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. I used a wet on wet water colour technique and rather than leaving the edges in white I very lightly took Flirty Flamingo to the edges. When it was almost dry I ran the coloured panel through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.

The dahlia flowers from the gorgeous Delicate Dahlias stamp set were stamped in Versamark Ink on to Basic White Card-stock and heat embossed with Gold Metallic Emboss Powder and a Heat Gun. I specifically chose these gorgeous Dahlias for this project as you are able to acquire this stamp set for free with the purchase of $180 worth of Stampin' Up! products during Sale-a-bration. This offer finishes in a little over a week so if you are wanting this stamp set - time is running out. 

I coloured the flowers with Stampin' Blends, using the Gray Granite Blends Combo. I usually try to use a third & different colour as well but I only wanted light shading. As such, the Colour Lifter was key to blend out edges of grey and to soften the colouring.

The flowers were fussy cut with my trusty Stampin' Snips. They were added to the background panel with Dimensionals leaving room for the sentiment. Strips of Gold Foil from the Brushed Metallic Card-stock pack were added to the longer edges of the water-coloured background panel together with strips of Flirty Flamingo card-stock. This background panel was adhered directly to a card base of Thick Basic White card-stock. 

Some of the Flirty Flamingo Metallic Ribbon was folded in half and added across the centre of the card. A sentiment from the same stamp set was gold heat embossed on Basic White card-stock. Trimmed and then mounted on a slightly larger off-cut of Flirty Flamingo card-stock. This label was positioned with Dimensionals. A piece of the Gold Trim from the Simply Elegant Trim pack was tied in a bow around the folded end of the ribbon and some clear Wonderful Gems added for that finishing touch.

The card inner was decorated with an off-cut of the water-coloured & embossed panel and fine strips of Gold Brushed Metallic paper and Flirty Flamingo card-stock. I had 2 little flowers remaining that weren't needed for the front design so they were perfect to add inside the card. I ran out of time to decorate a C6 Basic White envelope so that will be a task for another day.

I love playing with water-colour and embossing in its various forms. While I loved creating this to share, I'm not 100% sold on the final effect. Do you have some ideas of what I could do to give it a little more oomph?

If you live 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 July - December 2021 Mini Catalogue & Sale-a-bration Leaflet (don't forget Sale-a-bration finishes really soon), 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!.

AWH Heart of Christmas #12

Christmas with Sparkle of the Season Easel Card

Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart Team 2021 Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. 

So glad you are joining us for this Heart of Christmas Blog Hop. I love creating for Christmas and even with a changing week and limited time, I had fun with this week's card. I hope you like this swirly wreath easel card:

I love the Sparkle of the Season bundle for many reasons, no less because i can't resist some form of a wreath at Christmastime. I used a couple of the circular die cuts from the coordinating Seasonal Swirls dies. While I used the one with pine fronds and holly leaves I mainly used the swirls with stars. As this latter one was smaller, I cut it at one point and stretched it out and added a second opened swirl to form a larger circle.

The circular swirls with stars die was used to cut 2 swirls from the lighter mauve Silver Foil pack. As mentioned above, the swirls was clipped and spread to form a larger circle using the 2 dies cuts. The same die was used to cut another 2 swirls from Shimmery White card-stock and the pine and holly swirl die was used to cut another swirl from the same card-stock.

The Shimmery White swirls were then water-coloured with Balmy Blue, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink Classic Stampin' ink using the mid-sized Water Painter. While they were left to dry, Basic White card-stock was dry embossed with the Snowflake embossing folder from the Wintry Embossing Folder set. This is such a beautiful embossing folder.

The foil and water-coloured swirls were layered on top of each other over an embossed Basic White panel. This panel was mounted onto a piece of Fresh Freesia card-stock. A sentiment from the Sparkle of the Season stamp set was stamped in Fresh Freesia ink and again in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Silver Emboss powder and a Heat Gun. The lines of the sentiment were separated and the word "sparkle" fussy cut from the embossed first line. The other first line was adhered with Mini Dimensionals across the swirly wreath and the embossed "sparkle" added on top to highlight that word.

The Thick Basic White card-stock base was scored in half and the top half section was scored in half diagonally from corner to opposite corner. The card was folded and burnished along the score lines with a Bone Folder. The first couple of photos show the card standing up for display. The photo directly above looks at the diagonal fold (from above) and the last photo shows the card flat as it would be for placing in an envelope. As the card is square when closed, a specially made envelope could be created or if posting, a normal Basic White C6 Envelope could be used. I'll probably create a custom sized envelope from retired DSP. It's a great way to use left over DSP and make room for all the luscious new Designer Series Papers.

The inner layer of the card also had a Basic White snowflake embossed panel mounted on a piece of Fresh Freesia card-stock. The second line of the sentiment was also added with Dimensionals. The smallest snowflake from the So Many Snowflakes dies was used to cut 6 snowflakes from Basic White card-stock. Two snowflakes were adhered together to strengthen the snowflake, which was added to the inner layer to help hold the folded card front to stand.

The back/bottom of the card is also layered with Basic White and Fresh Freesia card-stocks for a place to add your hand written personal message.

The other four snowflakes were adhered to the swirly wreath and some of the gorgeous Blue Sparkly embellishments were added to the centre of each snowflake to add that bit of sparkle. A little Wink of Stella also subtly added more sparkle, but this hasn't been captured in the photos.  I've just realised that I didn't add my usual obligatory bow or ribbon/twine trim. I don't think it needs it - what do you think?

Thank you so much for spending time with me on my blog. I'm so glad you made the time.
