Welcome to the Art With Heart Real Red Colour Creation Blog Hop. We are thrilled to have you join us today. Our hop features some of your favorite Art With Heart Team Members sharing projects made with Stampin’ Up! products. In fact, you may have just come from fellow creative Fiona Ryan’s blog.

I am joining in with the Art With Heart Team’s Colour Creations Blog Hop with this Real Red Seaside Bay card.

The Real Red colour from Stampin’ Ups!® Regal colour family is our focus and I have gone with shadow stamping on a standard fold card.

This gorgeous technique is when you stamp once, twice, three times without reinking… The effect is delightful!

How gorgeous is the crab image scurrying across the card?

How To Fold 6”x6” Paper To Create A Pocket Treat Bag

Several years ago I attended a Stampin’ Up! workshop hosted by a good friend and it was there that she showed us how to fold 6” x 6” paper to create a pocket treat bag to give as gifts.

Just one 6” x 6” piece of patterned paper will give you a two pocket treat bag. Perfect for a special tea bag and small gift card.

Fold two 6” x 6” pieces of patterned paper and you will create a four pocket treat bag, that you could fill with a small chocolate, a gift card and tea bags.

My personal favourite is folding three 6” x 6” pieces of patterned paper, which creates six pockets to fill with lots of small treats.

6” x 6” Pocket Treat Bag Instructions

Step 1: Take a 6″ x 6″ sheet of patterned paper.

Step 2: Fold in the right corner and crease at 3.5 cm. Fold in the left corner and crease at 3.5 cm. Note: If you would like bigger pockets crease at increased measurements.

Step 3: Flip over and fold in half, matching points together.

Step 4: Take one point and fold down. Creasing at 2 cm.

Step 5: Repeat with the remaining side.

Repeat with extra paper and glue them back to back to create more pockets!

Punch a hole at the top of the treat bag and thread ribbon through the hole.

Have A Hoot Pocket Treat Bag

Stamp the cute owls from Have A Hoot stamp set onto a die cut Crumb Cake circle with Early Expresso ink.
Repeat the stamp onto scrap Crumb Cake card sock.
Stamp a sentiment on Crumb Cake card stock with Early Expresso ink.
Punch out using the Classic Label punch.
Using Stampin’ Up! watercolour pencils, colour the branch and leaves only on the die cut circle. Colour the owl on the scrap piece of card and die cut using the Peek A Hoot dies.
Using a dimensional adhere the die cut owl over the owl on the die cut circle.
Adhere the completed die cut circle to the front of the pocket treat bag.
Using a dimensional adhere the Classic Label sentiment to the front of the pocket treat bag.
Die cut a tag from Crumb Cake card stock and stamp a fun sentiment with Early Expresso ink. Put in some fun treats and thread the tag onto the ribbon and tie the treat bag closed.

How To Add Jingle Bells to Angel Wings Christmas Card

The Angel Wings Christmas card I’m showing you today is surrounded by nostalgia. The darling saying comes from the 1946 movie ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’. My MIL introduced me to this film Christmas of ’96 when I visited my future husbands home in West Scotland. Twenty four years later it is a family Christmas tradition that we watch this film as part of our Advent activities.

Double Z-Fold Angel Wings Christmas Card

I went with a double Z Fold on a base of Shaded Spruce and placed an embossed and stamped Z-Fold of Whisper White on it.

Whisper White Layers

Cut a piece of Whisper White 25 cm x 10 cm and another at 8 cm x 8 cm. Score at 14.2 cm and 19.7 cm. Burnish by mountain folding the first score line and valley folding the second score line.

Stamp sentiment from Yuletide Pasture in versamark. Sprinkle over silver embossing powder and heat emboss. Punch a Timeless Label from sticky note paper and cover the sentiment. Stamp bells in Shaded Spruce and Real Red.

Stamp the Angel Wings sentiment in the centre of the 8 cm x 8 cm square of Whisper White in Shaded Spruce. Colour the bells with Smokey Slate Blends.

Angel Wings Christmas Card Front

The card front began with a 14.8 cm x 10.5 cm Shaded Spruce base. Then I adhered a 14.2 cm x 10 cm piece of Plaid Tidings patterned paper.

I cut a 20 cm length of Shaded Spruce and wrapped it around the middle of the card, adhering the ribbon ends behind the card front. Next, I cut a 20 cm and 10 cm length of Metallic Mesh ribbon. I adhered the end of the 20 cm piece to the left side of the card front, behind the front card and over the top of the Shaded Spruce ribbon. I repeated this on the right side with the 10 cm piece.

Securing the Jingle Bells

Next I threaded the Jingle Bells onto the 20 cm length and knotted both Metallic Mesh ends together, pulling it tight so the bells lie on the card front, as shown in the picture. When I was happy with the bell placement I tied the Metallic Mesh ribbon into a simple bow.

Cut Shaded Spruce 9 cm x 9 cm. Adhere 8.5 cm x 8.5 cm Real Red to the 9 cm x 9 cm Shaded Spruce square. Then adhere the stamped Whisper White square. Using dimensionals adhere to the card front aligning to the left of the Jingle Bells.

Shaded Spruce Card Stock

Cut Shaded Spruce card stock 29 cm x 10.5 cm. Score 7.3 cm and 14.8 cm. Burnish by mountain folding the 14.8 cm score line. Then Valley fold 7.3 cm score line. Adhere the Whisper White Z-fold.

Card Assembly

The picture below shows how to adhere the 25 cm piece of Whisper White to 29 cm Shaded Spruce. First adhere front panel of Whisper White card stock to 7.3 cm section of Shaded Spruce card stock, leaving an even border top, bottom and left side. Then adhere last panel of Whisper White card stock to the larger back panel of Shaded Spruce, leaving an even border at the top, bottom and right side.
