Colour Creations Week 44 Poppy Parade

 Hi everyone, 


This week’s Colour Creation is Poppy Parade.  It is a lovely bright yellow based red.  I personally wear this colour a lot.  I even have red glasses. 


Below is my example using Poppy Parade.  I created this card using Happy Hibiscus Stamp Set.  When I was a child we loved in Kadina SA.  Outside my bedroom was a bright red hibiscus.  Recently I saw photos were taken in front of it many years ago.  Whenever I see a hibiscus my mind takes me back to the site of this hibiscus outside the window.  

I used Old Olive, Poppy Parade, and Basic White card stock.  I teamed with a splash of black abd white ribbon. 

Have you used Stampin Up products before. One of the reasons that I became a demonstrator/hobbyist was because I love the colour combos.  Stampin Up provides cardstock, ribbon, stamp pad, and matching designer series paper and sometimes matching glitz to enhance the cards.  If you are a bit pedantic with colour combinations Stampin Up is your friend. They certainly have my vote.  

The current Annual Catalogue is available on this blog. 


If you live in Australia and you would like to place an order over $250-00 (before shipping) you will 

receive 10% in Stampin Up Rewards.  Or if you would like to place a smaller order please email me on leanne1982@netspace.net.au.

Spring Corners Dies

 Hi everyone, 

Here is a lovely card.  I think sometimes a greeting is not required on the outside of the card.  

This Dies is called Spring Corner Dies that is part of the Spring Corners Bundle.  This bundle can be found in stampinup.com.au in the Online Store. 

I cut out the bottom corner dies again with Old Olive.   This allow me to place the leaves inside the die cuts and have green leaves.

Colour Creations Week 42 Petal Pink

Hi everyone, 

This is Week 42 and the colour is Petal Pink  Petal Pink is an soft orangey pink.  It is a really beautiful colour. 

I have been asked by a friend to create some cards with christian verses.  This is my first.  I love the soft colour and the embossing over all three layers of card stock.  It is like God has embossed all layers of life togehter and put his unconditional love in the verse, surrounded with hibiscus.  


I used Happy Hibiscus Stamps Set which can be found in stampinup.com.au Online Store.  Textured Note Dies was also used.  These will be released early next month.  I used  Eyelet 3D Embossing folder which can be found in the Annual Catalogue ©2024 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 129.
