Colour Creation Inst Hop Calypso Coral

 Hi,

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues.  This week is No. 14, Calypso Coral.

I allowed Artisan Sketched Garden Patterned Paper to do all the talking in this card.  I embossed the Basic White Cardstock with a retired folder, Painted Texture.  The sentiment is also retired.  I have a container of sentiments, that are leftover strips.  Sometimes I just stamp them, other times I emboss them.  This is one of those sentiments. Just a little colour of Calypso Coral adds to this card. enjoy

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.

Colour Creation Week 38 Night of Navy

 Hi everyone,

Night of Navy is our colour this week. Stampin up change their core colours approximately every 5 years.  However  Night of Navy has been a core colour for more entire Stampin Up career.   It is one of those ‘must have’ colours. 

This week I used One More Year Stamp set which can be found in the January to April  Catalogue ©2025  Stampin‘ Up!® commencing on page  59. 

Do you love embossing?  Our daughter visits and makes cards from time to time.  She loves embossing,  there is always something embossed on her cards,  recently she came and made a card again,  out csme the embossing items and we both played together,  

The cards below was a result of our time together.  Sometimes, you just have to play with the stamp, to reach the ideas that are floating around in your head.

Full of Life

 Hi everyone. 

Full of Life Designer Series Paper makes a great but simple card.  I saw this green paper and immediately thought of my daughter-in-law who loves green. 

I made our daughter-in-law a quilt before she married our son.  This quilt had purple and greens in the fabric.  Beautiful fabric.  I completed the quilt and showed our son.  I said to him, purple would look lovely on the back of this quilt.  His response was: ‘it might, Mum, but Steph loves greens.  Guess what, I put green on the back.  Have you worked out that I’m not a fan of greens. 

Well, back to the cards, this Full of Life Designer Series Paper is striking, in greens and other colours, all bright. Full of  Life Designer Series Paper that can be found in the Annual Catalogue ©2024 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 43. 

Recently, Mum and I went to a paper show.  Sometime I have to just buy something that isn’t Stampin Up.  Hello is similar to Wanted to Say Dies, found on page 85.  I used these dies so much.

Simply Zinnias

 Hi everyone,

Isn’t this card beautiful?  I’m not sure if you can buy Zinnias in purple but they make a beautiful card. 

I used Simply Zinnias Stamp Set and Dies and the Painted Texture Embossing Folder which can be found in our Online Store.  While I intended to use Highland Heather for the flower stamping I used Gorgeous Grape, therefore the flowers stand out a bit more than I wanted.  However, I still love it.

Painted Lavender

 Hi everyone, 

I just love lavender.  When I married 46 years ago my bridesmaids wore lavender.  When my mother and father married 73 years ago Mum’s bridesmaid and flower girl wore lavender and yellow.  When our daughter married 11 years ago her bridesmaid also wore purple.  There’s a bit of a theme going here, I think. 

This card was created using Painted Lavender Stamp Set and Painted Lavender Dies which can be found in the Annual Catalogue ©2024 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 78.  I used the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder which is found on page 129.  The bees and Happy Birthday sentiment were from retired products.

Rock Star

Hi everyone, 

We have a musician in the family.  Our son learnt how to play a guitar. However over the years he has taught himself to play the drums, ukulele, trumpet and probably more.   Now he has a family of his own.  He is also a music teacher at a secondary school.  Anyway any musical stamp set is a must in this house. 

Rock Star Bundle is part of the Rock and Roll Suite and can be found in the January to April Catalogue ©2024 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 55.

Joy of Christmas

Hi everyone, 

This card was made using the Joy of Christmas Suite from the Mini Catalogue, September - December ©2023 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 28.  I used a retired embossing folder, but the music behind the word ‘Noel’ just seems to fit.  A card that came together quite easily.  Gold embossing always makes a difference on a card.  

Embossing is so much easier using the Heat Tool that can be found in the Annual Catalogue Page 136.  I have been creating cards for many years.  I have not so fond memories trying to emboss using the toaster or even under the grill  It was not a good experience.  I rarely did it.  The Heat Tool makes embossing so much easier.

Meandering Meadows Suite

Hi everyone, 

I received an order from Stampin Up yesterday. Ooooo it had such a lovely little collection of new stamps, dies and designer series paper. 

I am writing about the Meandering Meadows Suite.  This is not in the catalogue but can be found on the Stampin Up site, under Online Products.  The suite can be purchased for $144:50 or you can purchase Garden Meadow Dies, Garden Meadow Stamp Set and Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper individually. 

The Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper is beautiful.  Do you notice the beautiful die that creates a lovely window on the card. This set is already a new favourite.  

Mum and I made these card tonight.  You will see more as we make them over the next few days.

Cheerful Daisy

Hi everyone,

Cards can be simple.  They don’t have to be layer upon layer upon layer.  Sometimes a simple card can be just as effective as a detailed card.  

This card was created using the Free As A Daisy Designer Series Paper which can be found in the  Annual Catalogue ©2023 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 111.  The sentiment came from Gorgeously Made Stamp and the leaves came from Gorgeously Made Dies.  These can be found on page 103.  The embossing folder is retired.  However any embossing folder available can be used.   I have several favourites. I think this one is called Stone.  Painted Texture is another which is current.

Lazy Days

 Hi everyone, 

Can you see yourself sitting out on the from porch watching the world go past. That is the picture that I see when I look at the card.  We don't have a porch and seats out the front.  However we have a swing chair out the back where I can sit and swing enjoying the flowers that we have.  Now that the weather is warming up, this seat will get used more often. 

This stamp set is called Lazy Days and can be found in the Annual Catalogue ©2023 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 19.

Cheerful Daisies

Hi everyone, 

Here is a bright card.  I love the colour yellow.  Yellow is cheery and bright colour.  I think it brightens up any day.  When I look out my kitchen I can see a yellow rose growing on the fence.  It is starting to bloom again.  All is right with the world, or at least in my world anyway. When giving flowers, I always give yellow roses which is a symbol of friendship. 

This card was made using the Fresh as a Daisy Suite which can be found in the Annual Catalogue ©2023 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 110.

Gorgeously Made

Hi everyone,

We buy different stamp sets and dies for a number of reason.  I bought this one because our daughter liked it. I looked at it initially and thought the designer series paper was too bright, even for me.  I love bright things. 

I purchased the Masterfully Made Suite and it sat on the shelf for a number of weeks until I even looked at it.  It wasn’t until I went to my up-line’s monthly class where I found the inspiration to play with it. Thanks to Rachel it is one of my favourites. 

This suite can be found in the Annual Catalogue ©2023 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 102.

Here is one of my cards.

Peace to you

Hi everyone, 

Christmas cards are still being made in this house. This is very unusual. I usually start Christmas cards about the end of November.  some things are different this year. Mum is hear for several months.  She gets me going.  'How about this one, or how about if we do this and with that.'  Secondly I am currently on long service leave.  So I have all day to craft or patchwork or just sit and read.  Heaven really.

These cards came about with Mum saying, 'how about embossing these stamps with white.'  Mum made a card for our daughter recently where she embossed white onto navy.  She was very proud of herself.

Peace to You Stamp Set can be found in the July - December 2022 Catalogue page 41 ©2022 Stampin‘ Up!®.  Mum likes this one so much she is going to purchase one for herself.

I hope you like this one too.
