I used the Stampin’ Up! Little Monkey stamp set bundle from the upcoming 2023-2024 Annual Catalog to create a hello card to share today. I also did a video tutorial for this card and you can…
Pebbled Path with Earthen Textures Fancy Fold Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop. We are working though the Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order, focussing on one colour each week, however, we are starting the Stampin’ Up! year with the new colours, focussing on the 2023-2025 In Colours first. This week’s Blog Hop is focussing on an earthy grey called Pebbled Path. Pebbled Path is part of the new 2023-2025 In Colour Family and is a warm mid-to-deep grey. This colour would be a lovely neutral when used for earthen pots and would be brilliant to use instead of black for sentiments. As with the other new colours, I am exploring coordinating colours but I think it work’s well with terracotta and yellows (as used in the card below). Pebbled Path is produced in Stampin' Up!'s card-stock, both A4 & 12"x12"; Classic Stampin' inks (ink pads & re-inkers); Stampin' Write Marker; Stampin' Blends Combo; In Color Designer Series Paper as well as Fresh As A Daisy, Earthen Elegance, Let’s Go Fishing DSPs; plus In Color Luster Speciality Paper, Treat Bags & Grid Paper, In Color Textured Ribbon & Jute Trim; and In Color Dots. Pebbled Path card-stock, ink, Earthen Elegance DSP and 2023-2025 In Color Dots have been used in the creation of this project plus a range of non-Pebbled Path bits and pieces. My card today has used Pebbled Path in a number of ways and also features the Earthen Textures bundle, a new bundle from the recently released Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue. I also created this week’s project as a fun fold. A big “Thank You” to Emma Goddard, an amazing UK Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, for the inspiration of this fancy fold. Recently, I saw Emma demonstrate this fun fold as part of The Crafty Carrot’s May series #thecraftycarrotco . I wanted to create something special as a male friend is having a birthday this coming Friday. I hope he likes it. The card base was cut, scored and burnished using Thick Very Vanilla card-stock. Two mid-sized Deckled Rectangles cut the apertures from the card base pieces. A background for the inner section was created with Pebbled Path Classic Stampin’ Ink, the large flat Water Painter and Fluid 100 Watercolor paper. Ink was added at the top of the panel and it was allowed to dribble down the panel. Once dry, it was turned up-side-down so the darker area was at the bottom and the lighter section at the top. It was splattered with mid-sized Water Painter and White Craft ink as well as a Pebbled Path Stampin’ Write Marker. A series of pots were cut out from the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper using the Earthen Textures dies. Foliage pieces were die cut from Fluid 100 Watercolor paper plus design die cut pieces to add to pots. The smaller spiky foliage was die cut from Distressed Gold Speciality paper. Two of the leaf shapes were water-coloured with Crushed Curry ink and the bigger leaf also had some Calypso Coral ink. Some of the design pieces for pots were coloured with Pebbled Path ink, while one was left uncoloured. Feathery leaves were stamped in Wild Wheat ink and fussy cut and twiggy foliage were stamped in Pebbled Path ink and fussy cut. I fussy cut these out as I wanted the pieces cut closer to the stamped images than the dies would cut. A larger pot was stamped in Pebble Path ink and die cut out. All the die cut pots had some shading added to one side and the base using Pebbled Path ink with a Mini Blending Brush. The pots, water-coloured leaves and stamped foliage were arranged. Before adhering them in place, the background piece was stamped with the feathery foliage in Wild Wheat and stamped again and again - ie second & third generation stamping. Everything was adhered in place using either Dimensionals, Multi-purpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. A belly band was created in Pebbled Path card-stock and a strip of the Pebbled Path DSP design was wrapped around the belly band with a strip of Distressed Gold Speciality paper. The larger deckled rectangle, which had been cut out from an inner layer, was used as the label base for the card front design piece. A couple of pots and a number of leaves were arranged using a mix of Dimensionals, Multi-purpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. A sentiment from the Earthen Textures stamp set was white heat embossed with Versamark ink, White Emboss powder and a Heat Tool. The sentiment was cut into 3 and added with Dimensionals. A few Pebbled Path 2023-2025 In Color Dots gave a little shine. Some extra Dots also were added inside the card. I decided to create a panel for my personal message on the inner left hand side of the card using another tall pot and some foliage. I was hoping to create a sense of an atrium of pots and foliage with the fancy fold layered scene on the inside. What do you think??? I had fun creating this card with one of my friends in mind. I hope he likes it. Must admit I was a touch nervous while I was creating it as he taught tertiary art before he retired. Thank you so much for calling in. I so appreciate you spending time with me. There is more Pebbled Path creativity, so do continue with the blog hop. Just click the "next" graphic below to be taken to the blog of the lovely Christina Barnes. I am looking forward to checking out Christina’s creation(s). I do love seeing everyones' projects - there is always so much inspiration and ideas.

Hello and welcome, It's Stamping 2nd Sunday latest blog hop for April and for this month the design team will be showcasing the theme 'From Little Seeds' in our projects for either Spring or Autumn. Make sure you click on the list of participants which will be at the end of this blog. As I don't really have any stamp sets with Autumn leaves in them, so i decided to use the Sweet Citrus Bundle and new Stampin' Up! products from the Annual Catalogue for 2023 to 2024. The Sweet Citrus Bundle is currently in the Mini Catalogue Jan - April 2023 and will be carrying over into the new catalogue. For my two projects I went with lemons and limes which are currently in abundance at the moment in Melbourne. They are so versatile when it comes to cooking or for adding to your drinks. Here's the list of the new Stampin' Up! products which will be available to customers as of 2nd May 2023 Lemon Lolly Cardstock 161729, Lemon Lolly Classic Stampin' Pad 161666, Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock 144250, Lemon Lime Twist Classic Stampin' Pad 147145 and Nested Essentials Dies 161597 they are amazing! Lemon Lolly is a new color which is part of the Subtles Collection and we welcome back Lemon Lime Twist which is part of the Brights Collection. Lemon Birthday Card I just love the bright happy colours used for this card and I was so excited to try out Lemon Lolly with Daffodil Delight and Tahitian Tide for my colour palette. I think they go well together. I embossed Lemon Lolly cardstock with the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder and added Daffodil Delight ink with the Blending Brush. First I stamped the lemon rinds in Lemon Lolly ink and added Daffodil Delight ink with the Sponge Dauber and stamped onto Basic White cardstock. I did the same technique with the lemon segments. Then die-cut the images out. The flower images from the Sweet Citrus Stamp Set are gorgeous as in a stamped background or adding sweet flowers as embellishments in watercolor. I used two of the Nested Essentials Dies to form a layered look and give the card some dimension. I used the Good Feelings Stamp Set for the sentiment and layered over the lemons and surrounding watercolor flowers. To finish off the card I added Tahitian Tide Baker's Twine layered with more lemons, flowers and leaves. The sentiment was fussy cut out and placed over the lemons. Lime Thank You Card Well, what can I say! Lemon Lime Twist is back and it's perfect for the lime Thank You card. To create the lime ombre background, I used Lemon Lime Twist cardstock started blending in with Garden Green, Parakeet Party and finished off with Lemon Lime Twist. Then I stamped the flower images using Parakeet Party ink. It's the same technique for the limes as above for the lemons. Starting with Parakeet Party for the rinds, adding a little of Garden Green and stamp onto Basic White cardstock. Then for the lime segments stamp in Lemon Lime Twist, add Parakeet Party and Garden Green ink. I used the same technique for the sentiment, stamp the image in Lemon Lime Twist and add the other greens with the sponge Dauber. I used another new image from the Nested Essentials Dies and die-cut out in Basic White cardstock. Stamped the flowers in Lemon Lime Twist onto the cardstock. To finish off the card I added the limes, watercolor flowers and Parakeet Party Baker's Twine.

For this card, I stamped the flowers in Melon Mambo ink and colored the flowers and leaves with Stampin' Blends. The inspiration for today's card was this week's Global Design Project Challenge. It's fun to case a wonderful designer! Here's the card we are casing: Under the pretty floral circle is a piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock embossed with a new 3D Embossing Folder called Dotted Circles. Isn't it amazing?
