A group of the Art With Heart Team is hopping through the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order. Week 48 is all about Shaded Spruce and I’ve made a birthday card.
The Shaded Spruce background layer on the left was created using blending Brushes to apply Shaded Spruce, Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green ink to Basic White cardstock.
I then used a water painter to splatter water and white ink refill diluted with water over the coloured cardstock.
The right hand side of the card front is a layer of Basic White cardstock embossed with the Eyelet Embossing folder. The left hand side of the card is the Shaded Spruce section of the coloured cardstock, torn on the edge.
The leaves are punched from the rest of the coloured cardstock using the Leaf Punch which is in the Last Chance products section of the website (as is the Gold Twisted Thread). The flowers and gold leaves are from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper and the “Happy Birthday” sentiment is from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.
Our blog hop is now an Instagram hop but the good news is that you don’t need to have an Instagram account to view all of the other projects! Simply copy any of the Insta handles below into a new search window to follow the Instagram hop.
Next in our hop is Vicki @vickiboucher. Be sure to check out her gorgeous project/s.
The full list of this week’s Insta Hop are listed below:
The challenge for Day 16 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is Mistletoe Magic.
This quick and easy card features a die cut mistletoe from the A Little Bit Festive Specialty DSP.
I’ve placed the mistletoe on a die cut piece of Basic White card stock and a layer of Garden Green striped DSP from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.
Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels and a bow of Twisted Gold thread add the finishing touch.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card.
The challenge for Day 13 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is “Poinsettia Perfection”.
I’ve used the large die cut poinsettia from the A Little bit Festive DSP along with a smaller die cut poinsettia from the Joyful Images Mix & Match Ephemera Pack to make this quick and easy Christmas card.
The red striped DSP is also from the A Little bit Festive DSP.
The gold foil “Celebrate” sentiment is die cut using one of the Wanted To Say dies, with the word “Christmas” from the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set heat embossed in gold.
I’ve tucked some of the new online exclusive Gold Twisted Thread under the smaller poinsettia.
I’ll be back later tonight with the AWH Colour Creations blog hop where we will be showcasing Gray Granite.
The challenge for Day 12 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is “Bauble Bliss”.
Although I have a current bauble bundle, I really love the retro feel of this little die cut ornament from the Festive Tags Kit so I decided to make it the focal point of my Christmas card. This kit is a great kit to use as it is for Christmas tags or to turn into cards.
My black and white striped DSP layer is from the Halloween Spells Designer Series Paper and I’ve added one of the Lost Lagoon and gold foil tags from the Festive Tags Kit.
The “O” for the word joy is the cute little bauble from the Festive Tags Kit with Alphabest die cut gold foil from the online exclusive Brushed Silver & Gold Foil Specialty Paper creating the J and the Y.
The gold embellishments decorating the bauble are also included in the Festive Tags Kit.
The double bow on the top of the ornament uses the black and white twine included in the Festive Tags Kit as well as the new online exclusive Gold Twisted Thread.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card and the AWH Colour Creations blog hop where we will be showcasing Gray Granite.
