Colour Creations Inst Hop Blackberry Bliss

Hi,

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues.  This week is No. 11, Blackberry Bliss. 

I slept on this colour several nights and came up with an idea.  My second card is the idea.  As usually happens I start with the idea and it progresses to something quite different.  Below are both of the cards. It seems that my favourite flower this week is Flowering Meadow Stamp Set.  A number of retired items were used for these cards.  Sometimes it is great to pull out the retired stamps and dies, blowing the cobwebs away. 

Have you used Stampin Up products before. One of the reasons that I became a demonstrator/hobbyist was because I love the colour combos.  Stampin Up provides cardstock, ribbon, stamp pad, and matching designer series paper and sometimes matching glitz to enhance the cards.  If you are a 

bit pedantic with colour combinations Stampin Up is your friend. They certainly have my vote.  

The current Annual Catalogue is available on this blog.

Colour Creations Insta Hop Basic Gray

 Hi,

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues.  Basic Gray is this week’s colour. 

Oh dear, what do I do with Basic Gray, has been my thought for week or so. This isn’t a colour that I use much.  However, after another night of not much sleep I came up with an idea similar to this.  

I used the Beach Boardwalk Suite, a suite sitting there waiting to be used. Petunia Pop also helps to brighten the card.  Also the coliured seats on the ferris wheel also helped. 

Do you love the Ferris Wheel?  I love it.  Our grandchildren love it too.  I’m usually the designated adult who accompanies the grandchildren to the heights.  Once again this suite brings back many holiday memories spent in Port Lincoln, SA and more recent rides with the kids.

Colour Creations Insta Hop Balmy Blue

Hi,

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues.  Balmy Blue is this week’s colour, an oldy but a goody.

I created this card using Lovely Arrangements Bundle.  Balmy Blue and Night of Navy goes well together.  Mum was at the end of Messenger while I tried several different combinations.  This one won.  I also used my all time favourite embossing folder, ‘Subtle’ but it is now retired.  This card looks pretty good, I hope you think so too.

Colour Creations Instagram Hop Azure Afternoon

 Hi,

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues.  Azure Afternoon is this week’s colour.  Isn’t it a beautiful blue?

I love this Ready Set Go Stamp Set.  Once again it evokes more memories of my past.  

When I grew up we only had one tv.  Most of the time what we were watching depended on who had the controls.  My dad was an avid sport, racing car watcher.  Most weekends the tv was turned to any sport that was going.  If there was a car racing event, that was part of the mix.  These memories are fond ones now, maybe not so much at the time. 

Anyway, back to the card.  I teamed the Azure Afternoon with Daffodil Delight. I also used Sunset Coast Dies and the retired embossing folder, Subtle.  A little bit of blending brushes and voila, a pretty good card for someone in my family

Colour Creation Insta Hop Peaceful Pine

Hi,

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues. Peaceful Pine, the last of our new In Colours, is this week’s colour.  It is such a soft dark green. 

I just love these Everyday Arches Dies.  They can be used in many different ways. This example be,ow is probably using the most popular but still spectacular.  I also used Relaxing Waterside Dies, a sheet from April’s Paper Pumpkin.  Happy Birthday is a retired dies, Wanted to Say Dies 

This scene resonates with me. I grew up about 8 klms from the beach.  I spent most weekends at the beach.    When we went away for holidays Dad always took the boat that he built.  First boat was a canoe, second was a cabin cruiser which just grew and grew.  Many, many hours were spent at the seaside.  Sitting in a chair with a book and cuppa beside the sea, with seagulls in the sky just does it for me.

Colour Creations Instagram Hop, Crisp Cantaloupe

Hi, 

I am very sorry.  I lost my mojo for several months.  I had trouble creating cards let alone creating new ones.  Hopefully I am back. 

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues. Crisp Cantaloupe, one of our new In Colours, is this week’s colour.  

As I shared last year, any shade of orange is not a a colour that I use.  I spent one night unable to sleep, thinking about this card and the designated colour.  I also have a number of stamp sets that I have not used yet.  So my plan was to use one of these. 

I used Delicate Whispers Stamp Set and Dies.  I also used Crisp Cantaloupe and Peaceful Pine stamp pads and Blends. I also embossed the Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock with a favourite but retiredembossing folder, Exposed Brick 3D.

Colour Creations Instagram Hop - Golden Glow

Hi, 

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues. Golden Glow, one of our new In Colours, is this week’s colour.  

Isn’t this a lovely yellow.  It reminds me a little of So Saffron, only darker.  However it is a soft yellow.  Once again, during a sleepless night, I thought about the stamps that have not been used.  We also have several friend’s birthdays coming up, who are mad photographers.  I used the Capturing Smiles Stamp Set and dies. ‘Smile’ came from retired Capture the Good Stamp Set.
