Stampin’ Up! So Saffron – AWH Colour Creations Showcase Week 48

Hello everyone! I hope that some of you got to enjoy Mother's Day with your loved ones last weekend. I did get a lovely homemade breakfast of poached egg on toast with spinach, herbs and mini Roma tomatoes (my fave) but spent the day quietly recovering from a head cold. 

Feeling much better now and would love to welcome you to another week of the Colour Creations Showcase where this week we look at So Saffron. This is a soft yellow from the Subtles colour family.

The card created this week is fairly quick and simple where I have used layers of different DSP in So Saffron, Basic Black and Basic White. Three layers in different widths adhered to the card stock base. The DSP include Subtles 2021-22 Assortment and True Love. When I saw the True Love DSP with the daisy print it inspired me to add the daisies made from Pierced Blooms dies. Each daisy is comprised of two petal shapes and the flower centre all adhered with glue dots.

Last week I had received some of my Stampin' Up! order with items from the new annual catalogue and so wanted to work with the Simply Elegant Suite. The greeting is from the Elegantly Said stamp set in this suite and has been stamped in VersaMark on Basic Black and then heat embossed with White embossing powder. The greeting was then punched out with the Elegant Tag punch and adhered with dimensionals to the DSP layer. I can't wait to play with the rest of the suite especially with the gorgeous and very elegant DSP!

 

Just wanted to show the inside of the card where I have added thin layers of the same DSP but this time I have coloured some of the daisies with the So Saffron Stampin' Blends.

Thank you so much for stopping by this week and for more inspiration from the other lovely ladies you can hop over to Cathy Proctor's blog. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead, stay healthy and happy!

Stampin’ Up! Real Red – AWH Colour Creations Showcase Week 40

Hello to everyone and Happy St. Patrick's day 🍀🍀🍀 My husbands family came from Ireland and migrated to Australia and so he is quite proud of his Irish heritage. But this week's colour doesn't have much to do with Ireland and St. Patrick and instead we are celebrating Real Red for the AWH team showcase.

Real Red is from the Regals colour family and it is a bright red that is quite often used in Christmas card designs. This week I have been inspired to create a strong and feminine looking card.

The Whisper White base card stock was embossed using the Subtle 3D Embossing folder and then layered with a rectangular piece of True Love DSP that has been cut from the Rectangle Stitches Framelit dies using the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine.

The Whisper White square layer was cut using Stitched Shapes dies and hand stamped with the floral stamps from Dressed to Impress stamp set. This stamp set has been used for all the items on the front of the card and it also has a matching die set which I did not have on hand so I ended up fussy cutting these shapes.

The flowers were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured using Stampin' Blends in both Light and Dark Real Red colours to give some variety. The lipstick and shoes are stamped in Memento ink and coloured with Stampin' Blends Light and Dark Real Red, Light and Dark So Saffron and Dark Basic Black. The highlights were achieved using the Colour Lifter and I have coloured the leaves on the roses using Light and Dark Mint Macaron.

The greeting is stamped with Versa Mark on Basic Black card stock and heat embossed with White embossing powder and then fussy cut and attached with a dimensional. There is also a Mother's Day greeting in this stamp set which will likely get some use soon!

The True Love DSP that was left over after cutting the rectangular frame was used for the inside of the card and decorated with additional roses. The greeting from the Friends are like Seashells stamp set is stamped inside with Real Red ink.

I am making some more note cards using the Dressed to Impress stamp set in softer pinks and purples to give to a special group of friends at a catch-up this weekend.

For more inspiration on this week's colour showcase you can hop over to Cathy Proctor's blog to see what the other ladies have done for this weeks Colour Creations showcase. Wishing you all a happy and healthy week ahead and hope you get to have some personal time where you can!

True Love DSP by Stampin' Up!

Hi everyone, this week I am showcasing the lovely True Love Designer Series Paper featuring black and white prints and patterns that can be coloured in any way you choose or just left as is. 

I have fussy cut the flowers from the DSP and coloured them in using Stampin' Blends alcohol markers in light and dark colours of Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green. The highlights have been added using the blending pen. You could also use the new Stampin' Up! blending brushes from the new January-June Mini Catalogue, to add colour to floral prints or patterned backgrounds of this DSP.

The card base is Smoky Slate and layered with the reverse side from the same True Love DSP. I have added a 'frame' cutout using both the Stitched So Sweetly and Stitched Rectangles die sets in Poppy Parade cardstock and adhered to the base with dimensionals.  The sentiment is stamped with matching ink and die cut from the Floral Art bundle.  To finish off I have tied some Linen thread with bow to the frame.
