Welcome to week nineteen of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we’re featuring Copper Clay, a rich copper colour from the 2023–2025 In Colors.
It was Father’s Day last Sunday so I made a Father’s Day card for my dad using the Tartan Foil 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper. I also used this stunning DSP to wrap his Father’s Day gift!
The Sheets of DSP were not quite big enough to wrap the gift so I simply joined a Copper Clay sheet and a Pebbled Path Sheet together using Tear & Tape Adhesive to match the Father’s Day card.
I also used these two colours from the 2023–2025 In Color Jute Trim in my gift wrapping.
Enough about the wrapping – let’s take a look at the card. This type of fancy fold is called a napkin fold and I folded an 11 x 11 inch piece of Basic White card stock to make my card.
The Napkin fold is held flat (ish) with a belly band. The layered cardstock squares are die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies and the “DAD” sentiment is stamped in Pebble Path ink using a sentiment stamp from the Trusty Tools Stamp Set.
Here is the napkin fold card opened up.
I’ve used the Trusty Tools Stamp Set to decorate the inside panel as well, stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento, Copper Clay and Pebbled Path.
Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins complete the sentiment panel on the belly band.

Welcome to week forty-one of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Poppy Parade, a lovely bright red that certainly packs a punch!
As there’s only just over a week left of Sale-a-bration, I’m sharing a birthday card I made in November for my youngest son who is halfway through his electrical apprenticeship. He loves his tools so the Sale-a-bration Trusty Toolbox DSP was simply perfect for him!
Apart from being a great DSP for masculine cards, what I particularly love about the Trusty Toolbox DSP is that the tool sheets have been designed to be die cut out using the Trusty Tools dies. This makes card making a breeze!
My simple silver tool box and handle were die cut from silver foil, mounted onto the card front using Dimensionals and then it was simply a matter of die cutting the tools from the DSP and arranging them into the tool box.
The tape measure is also a strip of Trusty Toolbox DSP. I love that there are both inches and centimetres on this particular design.
The “Happy birthday” sentiment is from the Hello Kiwi stamp set. I love the modern masculine font on this stamp set.
Die cut offcuts from the DSP that weren’t used on the card front decorate the inside of my card.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan. I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!
