DSP Theme - AWH Team - September Blog Hop



Hello everyone and welcome to our September blog hop by the Art with Heart team.
Tonight, team members are sharing amazing projects featuring Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper.
Stampin' Up! currently have a Designer Series Paper SALE happening!
Purchase three packets of DSP, from a select range, and receive one packet FREE! This offer ends on September 30th - so hurry and don't miss out on this great deal!


My first project features the 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper from the Brights colour collection.

***(Please note - this DSP is not part of the promotion.)***



These gorgeous little bags were given as a thank you to each of the ladies who attended one of my recent classes.
I always give a small gift of something in either a box or bag. I was really happy to have found this video tutorial by Chris Slogar of Buckeye Inklings. I made a few changes to measurements, but it's mostly the same. Thank you Chris!


I used the matching coloured cardstock for the handles and closure. The closure was made using the Tailored Tag punch, and then I added a die-cut stitched heart from one of the Stitched Be Mine dies. The tailored tag attaches at the back with some Tombow glue but has a mini Velcro dot to fasten it at the front. 'For you' was stamped in the coordinating ink and it is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set.
A clear rhinestone was all the embellishing I felt the little bags needed.


I just love the colours in the Brights colour family. The 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper is available in all our colour collections. How great is that?!


Do you have a favourite Stampin' Up! colour family?

My second project is a Shutter card. I have been wanting to make one of these Fancy Fold cards for a while now, and decided to finally make one using the lovely Garden Lane Designer Series Paper which is one of the packs in the Buy three, get one FREE sale.


This is one of the card designs that I have for my card class this week. They look complicated to put together but that's not the case at all.


You can see how the 'shutter' mechanism is reflected in my choice of pattern. If you are a fan of the colour green, then this is definitely the paper for you. The colours are: Garden Green, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sea Foam with Whisper White as the background colour.


The writing panel is attached to the back of the card. I love the little stamped leaf on the back of the belly band.


The stamped images and sentiment are from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set in the Stampin' Up! Beginners Brochure, and they are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink.


 I can't wait to see what the other team members have created with their favourite Designer Series Paper for our blog hop tonight.

Heart of Christmas - Week 4


Hello everyone.

I hope you are enjoying our Heart of Christmas weekly blog hop.
Members of the Art with Heart team are sharing Week 4 projects with you tonight.

Sit back and enjoy your look around our blogs.


For my card I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measured 5" x 10", scored in half along the 10" side to create the 5" square card.
I cut a 4" square piece of silver foil and glued a 3 7/8" square piece of Brights 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper to it. I wanted to create a panel that looked like a present and I think I've achieved that with the addition of the Metallic-Edge Ribbon in white and silver. The horizontal and vertical lengths of ribbon were cut and added separately, the ends are tucked behind and taped down, then I made the bow. The extra loops are all separate and each is glued together with a glue dot and also attached with one under the main bow. I glued the entire panel flat to the card front.
Next was the addition of the tag. The greeting is from the Still Scenes stamp set and it was heat embossed in Shimmer Black embossing powder. It was then die-cut using one of the Stitched Nested Labels. Using a retired hand held punch, I punched a hole for the bakers twine to thread through. It is secured under the bow with a glue dot. This pretty twine is unfortunately also retired.


The sparkle in the embossing powder is so pretty.
The tag is popped up on dimensionals and I added 3 rhinestones from the Noble Peacock Rhinestones pack. This colour is Old Olive but it goes nicely with the Granny Apple Green colour of the DSP.


Inside the card I added the writing panel of Whisper White to a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock after I had stamped the message in Memento black ink. I used the Stamparatus to centre it - this stamp is also from the Still Scenes stamp set. To the bottom I added a strip of silver foil and DSP, I die-cut the smallest of the stitched nested labels from cardstock and then attached a clear rhinestone.

I loved the design of this card so much that I made another one in Poppy Parade.


I can't decide which colour I like best.

Do you have a favourite?
