AWH Colour Creations - Week 46 - Smoky Slate


Hi everyone!
Welcome to this weeks Colour Creations blog hop with the Art with Heart team. Here we are at Week 46 and our featured colour tonight is Smoky Slate.

I love Smoky Slate. It's a lovely, silvery grey with almost a sheen to it.

I've gone for a very quick and easy card for tonight's hop.


To a Whisper White cardbase, I added a panel of the Smoky Slate cardstock that I die-cut the centre from with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits. I was going to add my Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack panel straight onto the white background, but then decided to replace the centre of the rectangle and pop up the focal image on dimensionals. I glued the panel onto some silver foil first.
The only other addition to the front of the card were the three pearls.
And there you go - quick, simple and easy.

Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack

Our Memories & More card packs are ideal if you're in need of a quick make card. Choose a design that has a sentiment and your work is almost done.

*Note: If you were thinking of getting this pack, it is on Low Inventory so get in quick!


For the inside of the card, I chose one of the larger cards from the pack and simply added the white writing panel to echo the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate and it comes from the Well Said stamp set in the Occasions Catalogue.

Well that's it from me tonight, hop over to Catherine's blog to see all of the other Smoky Slate creations from the team.

Thanks for stopping by. 
After tonight, we have just 4 colours left in our Colour Creations blog hop! I hope you'll check in each week to see what the team creates with the remaining colours.

AWH Colour Creations - Week 42 - Real Red



Hi everyone.
We're up to Week 42 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations blog hop. Our colour tonight is Real Red. A classic red from our Regals Collection.

Real Red 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper - Regals Collection

For tonight's hop, I'm sharing a thank you card.


I just wanted a really simple design and to let the gorgeous, vibrant red be the star of the show, as it should be. I think I achieved that look.

I've made a tent fold card base of Whisper White and I inked up the Buffalo Check background stamp with Real Red ink and stamped onto some Whisper White cardstock, then die cut a panel of it with a rectangle stitched framelit. I added this to a panel of whisper white and silver foil, and popped this whole piece up with dimensionals. Then I stamped the large daisy from the Daisy Delight stamp set onto real red cardstock twice with real red ink, and punched out with the Daisy Punch. I brushed on some sparkle with the Wink of Stella pen and added a faceted gem to the centre. It's also attached with dimensionals, and the same for the sentiment.


The sentiment is heat embossed in black and die cut with another of the rectangle stitched framelits. Originally I had stamped directly onto the card base but the ink smudged. I like this look better - so a happy mistake really. The sentiment is from Beautiful Bouquet.
In this photo you can see that I embossed horizontal lines on the top and bottom. There's three along the top and four along the bottom. I did this by using the Simply Scored scoring tool before adding all the elements. Three red rhinestones finish of the details and balance the card nicely I think.


Inside the card I added a stitched rectangle of the buffalo check that I had left over and another stitched rectangle in Whisper White for the writing panel.


Thanks for stopping by. Head over to Catherine's blog to see the rest of tonight's Real Red creations from the team.

Easter Theme - AWH Team - March Blog Hop


Hi everyone, welcome to the Art with Heart Easter blog hop.
Tonight, the team are sharing creative projects with an Easter theme.

*Just a reminder that Sale-a-bration ends on March 31st, but there's still time to earn FREE products with a $90 minimum purchase or by joining our fabulous Stampin' Up! team. Ask any of the girls on the hop for more details.

Tonight I'm sharing a card and Easter gift box.


Let's start with the card.


My favourite card to make is a 4 1/8" square card and tonight is no exception.
The Fable Friends stamp set from the Occasions Catalogue has proven to be VERY popular, especially the bunny, and so it was an easy choice for the central image on my Easter card.

 The sentiments is also from the set. I masked off and stamped these two words separately. I used the 'easter' from Easter Greetings and the 'happy' from Happy Spring. It's very easy to mask off what you don't want stamped.
The bunny and sentiments are stamped in Memento black ink.

The line art images make them so easy to colour in with the Stampin' Blends, not to mention FUN!
The colours I used were, Balmy Blue - Light & Dark, Crumb Cake - Light & Dark, and Petal Pink - Dark, for the inside of his ears.
I stamped the bunny twice and fussy cut one of them out to use as a mask. I held this one in place over the other one so that I could sponge the background in Balmy Blue ink and add the grass, using Lemon Lime Twist. I used a blender pen to add some ink straight from my LLT ink pad and then stamped more grass with the grass stamp.
I die-cut the bunny with a stitched oval and stuck this onto a scalloped oval in Whisper White. I used dimensionals to attach the oval to a Subtle embossed panel, and each of the sentiments were die-cut with a stitched rectangle and backed with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock.
The little flowers are the Gingham Gala sequins, and I added a clear rhinestone to the centres' of them.

Next is the box.


Thanks to our tiny Treat Boxes, it was really simple to put this little gift box together.
I used a piece of the Balmy Blue Gingham Gala 6" x 6" DSP to basically make a little tray to sit the acetate box in. Some glue dots hold this in place.
I die-cut stitched squares from both the DSP and Balmy Blue cardstock for the top of the box. A length of Balmy Blue organdy ribbon, (a Sale-a-bration freebie!), was threaded through a punched hole in the top to form a loop, and the ends were split apart, like you would a split pin, and taped in place. Then I covered this with another stitched square to hide the ends. By adding the ribbon this way, you don't end up with knot-tied ends showing.


I was hoping to add a little chocolate bunny inside the box, but can you believe it, I couldn't find one!
I guess these chocolate eggs will have to do.


Thanks for joining us on our hop tonight, now it's time to head over to the blog of our next team member, the lovely and talented Sue Madex.
