Colour Creations Week 41 Sahara Sand with Stampin Up Cactus Cuties Bundle

March 23, 2022

Hey friends, welcome to another week of Colour Creations blog hop by the Art with Heart Team. This week we are playing with Sahara Sand.

My card is a super quick and easy one this week, as I was running a bit late to get it created and up on my blog. I had the colour scheme and products in my head though, so it was pretty quick to get it done. I have used the cactus Cuties punch bundle from the 2022 Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalogue.

I have used Shimmery White for my background and have embossed the front layer with the Painted Texture embossing folder (I used my blending brushes to add dome Sahara Sand ink in the centre before I embossed). The pot is stamped in Sahara Sand, the cactus in Mint Macaron and the flowers in Polished Pink.

Here's a closer look at my colour combination.

The Cactus Cuties punch bundle made cutting out some of the bits for this card super easy. Punch bundles are so quick and easy and I love how reasonably priced they are!

Now it's time to see what the rest of the Art with Heart team girls have done with Sahara Sand. Next up, we have the lovely Christine Blain.

If you get lost along the way, head over to Cathy Proctor's blog as she has the full list of participants on there.

Thanks for checking in today with the Art with Heart Team. See you back here again soon.

Quick and Easy Stampin' Up! Abstract Beauty Cards

March 16, 2022

If you are a fan of quick and easy cards, the Stampin' Up! Abstract Beauty products I am going to show you today will be just the thing for you. It is so quick and easy to make this bright bunch of cards using three main products, and your choice of sentiment stamp set.

To start with you need a pack of pre-printed Abstract Beauty Cards and Envelopes. You get 20 cards and envelopes in a pack for just $17.50. There are lots of different designs and colours and each card has a coordinating envelope.

Next up you will need the Abstract Beauty Ephemera Pack for $11.25. This has a bunch of awesome cardstock and vellum die cuts you can use to embellish your cards (you get 2 of each of the ones shown here). Great price too.

Finally there is the coordinating Abstract Beauty DSP and this time it's a new size - 6" x 4". The patterns and colours coordinate perfectly with the other products, and you get 48 6x4" double sided sheets. There's also some gold foiling in there.

There are also some great more neutral designs in this pack which can be used for other projects, like this wedding card I made for my niece and her new husband.

Here's a bit more of a peak at a couple of the cards made with the card and envelope set and ephemera pack.

I have used these cards and stickers, along with other elements from the Heart and Home suite (doilies and denim ribbon) to make these cards. I love how they turned out and they were so quick and easy. These are the two gift cards:

and this is the full sized card.

Quick and Easy Stampin' Up! Hand Penned Cards

September 15, 2021

I love being able to whip up quick and easy handmade cards. The Stampin' Up! Hand Penned Memories and More cards make creating a breeze as you can buy the pre-printed cards and envelopes (which are SO pretty), and then you have a range of perfectly sized cards you can play around with for elements on the card front.

Here are two cards I made quickly and easily using these products.

For my first card, I just trimmed down one of the 6x4" cards and added a Daffodil Delight mat either side. The sentiment is from Hand-Penned stamp set and I have used the Double Oval Punch with the sentiment. The embellishments I have shown on this one are the Genial Gems which coordinate with this suite perfectly (links at end of post to view products I have used).

For this one, I just added a Polished Pink Mat to the 3x4" card from the Hand-Penned Memories and More pack, and then cut one of the die-cuts from the Penned Flower Dies in half and adhered to the top and bottom before adhering it to the pre-printed card. My greeting is from Best Year sentiment set and I have used the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch on the label. It would even be beautiful without the die cut as the prints in this suite are so beautiful.

Here's a closer look at Hand-Penned Memories and More Cards (50 in a pack) and the pre-printed cards and envelopes (20 of each in a pack). You can view more information about each product using the links at the bottom of the post. Add these to your next Stampin' Up! order in Australia for some quick and easy cards.

Three Cards in One with Stampin Up Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper

July 24, 2021

Hello crafty friends. Today I want to show you how you can make 3 quick and easy Stampin Up cards in one! I have used the Stampin' Up! Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper from the 2021 Stampin Up Australia Annual Catalogue, along with the super versatile Biggest Wish stamp set from the same catalogue.

Here's the three cards I made.

Card Instructions

Start with 3 x C6 standard card bases in Soft Succulent (that's an A4 sheet cut in half vertically and folded in half).
Cut three pieces of coordinating DSP pieces each 10cmx 14.3cm.
Stack them together in your trimmer and make 2 angled cuts (it doesn't really matter where you make them, but aim for 3 pieces around the same size).
Select one piece from each pattern and adhere to the card leaving a teeny gap in between each piece.

The final step is to adhere a sentiment label over the join of the three pieces. I used a circle with my greeting from Biggest Wish stamped in colours to coordinate with the DSP. If you don't have the Biggest Wish Stamp Set, I strongly suggest you take a look using the links at the end of the post. It's so versatile.

I have also used a piece of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon (you need about 22cm for each card), and one of the Soft Succulent 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.

This is such a quick and easy design, I will definitely be making more quick and easy cards using this layout.

So don't forget to check out the Designer Series paper sale while it's still on until 2nd August. You can find all the on sale papers HERE in my online store.
