Colour Creations Showcase - Night of Navy
January 06, 2021
Happy New Year Stampers!
It's Kathryn here, and I'm back with the second half of the Art With Heart 2020-2021 Colour Creations Showcase.
This week we have the very versatile Night of Navy from the Neutrals Colour Family. Night of Navy has been in the Stampin' Up! colour range for as long as I can remember, at times being the "new black" and always being a staple colour, for it's versatility.

I have created the colour combination chart this week from the colours in the lovely Paper Blooms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper which is one of the free gifts you can select during Sale-a-bration with your $90 product order.
The paper coordinates with products in the new January to June mini catalogue, but you'll see that you don't have to have ALL the coordinating products to produce gorgeous matching projects.
After the crazy year that was 2020, I decided that I didn't need a day to a page diary or planner this year and I got myself a $2.48 week to a view A5 diary, knowing that I could easily cover it with Stampin' Up! paper to make it pretty!
I thought the sentiment from Ridiculously Awesome Stamp Set was a perfect fit to adorn the cover going into a new year, and I added a bookmark to keep track of the weeks.
On the inside first page I put a little affirmation - also from the Ridiculously Awesome stamp set, and on the week beginning March 1st, I added another - being the first week of Semester 1 for my third year at uni. I love that the Night of Navy ink matches the printing in the diary.
Covering the diary was so easy - just like you would with school books, and once I had all the papers out, I wanted to use all of them - they are so pretty! So I decided to whip up a really quick stack of birthday cards, to get me started with the 2021 birthday mail outs.
All I've done is layer a piece of the Designer Series Paper onto Night of Navy card bases and added the fun sentiment stamp using layering dies. A few different rhinestones finish them off.
On two of the cards, I also used the little white fabric flowers out of the Boho Indigo card kit to add more texture. And of course I added a strip of the lovely paper to the insides.
I'd love you to leave a comment and let me know what you think and if you would like to see the rest of the beautiful Night of Navy Creations from the Art With Heart team stampers, my dear friend Cathy has all of the links on her blog post and you can find them by clicking HERE.
See you next week!

Hahaha, I really laughed at the week to a page diary - I did exactly the same thing! I did not, however, have the really clever ideas of stamping affirmations or making a bookmark to match. Your dairy is awesome and your cards are wonderful too.

Fantastic use of those utterly gorgeous papers, Kathryn! I love your personalised diary, and am super-impressed with how many cards you whipped up with the other papers. Lovely way to show off Night of Navy this week.

Love that you are making your diary awesome (and you made a sweet little bookmark as well). I think we all need positive affirmations in our life!
You certainly made good use of your time whipping up cards as well.
