Hi there, it's Kathryn here!

How's your run into Christmas going after this crazy year we've been having?

Week 29 and our last Colour Creations Showcase for 2020 includes a beautiful Christmas Colour, so I had every intention from the start to make this week's card an inspiring Christmas card using this versatile staple colour - Mossy Meadow.

I have been making lots of bright cheery Real Red and Garden Green cards with bold images using the Tag Buffet Project kit, so when I pulled out Mossy Meadow card stock and ink pad, I decided I wanted a more elegant and toned down card.

I am also in the process of using up all of last year's Christmas products and that includes the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley which is still available.. My card is actually a new version of some I did last year which were inspired by Linda Dalke.

The lovely pine tree stamp comes from the Most Wonderful Time stamp set and is stamped with 2nd and 3rd generation stamping (ie, keep stamping without reinking to get the depth of the forest).

The deer is a printed die-cut piece from the Product Medley popped up on dimensionals, and the greeting stamp is from Perfectly Plaid stamp set stamped with Soft Suede ink.

The Crumb Cake panel is layered onto Mossy Meadow using Dimensionals, then this is layered onto Whisper White which is layered onto the Mossy Meadow Base Card.

The inside is decorated in a similar manner. 

I loved using the deer die-cuts from the kit, I could never stamp them with such a beautiful subtle colour!

Well, if you would like to see how our other creative friends have used Mossy Meadow, please hop over to Cathy's blog where she has all the links. Don't forget to leave a comment - we love to hear what you think!

See you again on 6th of January for Night of Navy.

I have started off slowly with this year's new In Color range, however  I made sure I purchased some of the Misty Moonlight right at the start of the catalogue as it is such a versatile mid-blue.

It has become a favourite colour and I’m glad to see it feature this week in our Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase!

I have a bit of a sneak peek for you this week (seems to be a theme with me at the moment!).  There have been many lovely samples flying around the internet, ever since Stampin' Up! demonstrators who attended our online event - On Stage@home at the start of November, were able to purchase some items from the brand new Dandy Garden Suite which will be in our new January to June Mini catalogue in the new year.

Our hands-on stamping part of the program included this card using the Dragonfly Garden stamp set, Dragonfly punch and the coordinating Designer Series Paper.

I love the combination of the Bumblebee, Misty Moonlight and Whisper White colours so much, I decided to just keep working with this theme and make a few more cards with all the same pieces.

I can't wait until all my stamping friends can get their hands on these products and we can get together a create flocks of dragonfly cards!

The card below was made using the Misty Moonlight card from the In Colour Memories & More Cards & Envelopes pack.

Hey there! It's Kathryn here, welcoming you back to another Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase!

I'm kind of disappointed that this week is Mint Macaron, as my gorgeous niece's long awaited wedding is next week and one of her wedding colours is Mint Macaron . . .  so I have been making stuff that I CAN'T SHOW YOU!! Aaaghhhh!!

However, I decided that since none of my family ever looks at my blog, I could pop in a little sneak-peek . . . LOL

Whatever you do, don't tell!

I have been putting together this double Zig Zag fold card using Mint Macaron prints from a couple of different packs of Designer Series Paper, and Soft Sea Foam Card stock.

I've used the Mint Macaron & Gold Foil embossed paper from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper and two other Mint Macaron Copper & Gold Foil embossed sheets from the Gilded Autumn Specialty Paper (in the Aug-Dec Mini catalogue).

I've also used some of my favourite ever fluffy vellum - the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper - such a nice luxurious addition to any project.

I've actually not finished the inside yet - it has a secret flap that lifts up so there are two places to write - and I think I need to stamp some more flowers and leaves for that. The stamped images are all from the Forever Blossoms stamp set.

Do you like how nice the Plush Poinsettia vellum looks layered over the top of Mint Macaron cardstock?

If you would like to see what the rest of the creative Art With Heart Ladies have made with Mint Macaron, please hop over to Cathy's blog HERE  where she has all the links.

See you soon!
