Colour Creations Insta Hop

 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. 17, Coastal Cabana.

I CASEd this card from Teri West, an Artisan, on Pinterest.  I found the colour combination on Pinterest as well. 

I used a dies.  After looking through Stampin.com.au, it appears I chose a retired dies.  I love the Artisan Sketched Garden Pattern Paper.  It is such a versatile paper. I love the different pots and their plants or flowers.  When using this paper, you can make a card in minutes.  The sentiment is also retired.  I used Poppy Parade, Old Olive and Crushed Curry, quite different combination. 

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 you can receive 10% of on your next order.

If you would like the current brochure, please email me on leanne1982@netspace.net.au.

Card Sketch

Hi everyone, 

Here is another card sketch.  This card sketch is on page 12 in January - April Mini Catalogue ©2025 Stampin‘ Up!®. 

I started playing with this sketch and kept playing and playing.   Sketches are a really good place to start.    

The designer series paper that I have used whilst playing with these cards, is free when you spent more than $100.

#colourcreationsbloghop

Hi everyone, 

Claire Daly is the leader of a group called Art with Heart Group.  Each week there is a Colour Creations Blog Hop.  This group works through the current colours in Stampin Up.  I have chosen to join this group.

I have probably joined half way though because this week the colour is Misty Moonlight.  However the beginning of a new year is a good time to start something different. 

Recently I have been playing with card sketches that you will find in the current brochure, usually within the first few pages.  This sketch is found in the January - April Mini Catalogue ©2025 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 12. 

I created this card using Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper, Spotlight on Nature Dies and Eyelet 3D Embossing folder.  I found that the extra embossing took the plainness of the white away. 

Of course, when I am playing with something new, I have to change it slightly so the next one is horizontal and stepped up a bit, with another layer.  

So I chose a different page of designer series paper which included a different colour teamed with Misty Moonlight. 

Our next talented Art With Heart is Rosa Leyden

If at any time you find a broken link or would like to see a full list of participants, please head to the blog of our host of the AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop, Catherine Proctor

Enjoy the Blog Hop.

Blessings. 

Flowering Zinnias

 Hi everyone, 

This card is very different.  

I used the Brayer on this card.  I tried this method once before several years ago.  At that time I patted the stamp pad over the embossed folder.  However I wasn’t terribly happy with it and didn’t try again.  However the Brayer makes this method very easy.  I used the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder for the front of the card. 

Flowering Zinnias Suite can be found in our Online Store.  You can buy the suite together at a discount or purchase the items individually.

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.

 Hi everyone, 

Here is another coffee card with a little stampin but more glueing.  It depends what you like. 

I created this card by using Lost Lagoon 11” x 4 1/8. Folded in half. Using the front of the card, I cut half off, ( 2 3/4”).  The Patterned Paper is 3 7/8” x 2 1/2” and 3 7/8” x 5 1/4”.  The white card stock is 3 7/8” x 2 1/2”. The two cups were cut from  a sheet of Patterned Paper.

Earthen Elegance Suite

 Hi everyone, 

You need to get in quick for this one.  I tend to buy the cool colours in most things, clothes, designer series paper etc.  However I purchased this because I send a number of cards to people who prefer the warmer colours.  I found that this suite is also suitable for the male members of the families. 

The Earthen Elegance Suite will retire at the end of this month.  This suite is found in the Annual Catalogue ©2023  Stampin‘ Up!® on page 70.   However Earthen Textures Stamps and Dies will be available separately.  Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper will also retire at the end of this month.  

This Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper is now available for $10:87, here in Australia, until sold out or the end of this month.

Earthen Elegence Suite

Hi everyone, 

Do you find that you stick to or play with the same colours or types of suites.   This particular suite is right out of my comfort zone.   While I love the colour Pretty Peacock, any shades of brown or orange are colours that I very rarely play with.  However sometimes that makes giving cards difficult.  My daughter-in-law and her mother’s colours are these browns and oranges. So I need a arrange of card in my collections made with these colours. 

I attend a card class every month with my UpLine.   Rachel introduced me to this suite at a class.   I could see the possibilities. So I bought this suite.  I have played with it a little but not very much.  I brought it out the other day i tending to make a number of cards.  With Mum on Messenger video and I working on them. i was able to make several cards. 

This suite is called Eastern Elegant Suite. It can be found in the Annual Catalogue ©2023  Stampin‘ Up!® on page 70.  However commencing 9th April  to 30th April, some these products can be purchased at a reduced price.

Friendship Royalty

Hi everyone, 

Do you have a princess in your house.   We have a little 5 year old who is just starting to wear princess dress ups, and use crowns and wands.  She is even asking her mum for a Barbie.  Up until now she hasn’t been interested in these girlie things. It is amazing how going to school and hearings class mates talk about their favourite things. 

Friendship Royalty is a new stamp set in the Annual Catalogue ©2023 Stampin‘ Up!® on Page 56.  I embossed white onto the red cardstock.  It has a little pizazz.

Lazy Days

Hi everyone, 

When you see this card do you think of picture with a relative. I see my mum or grandma rocking in this chair watching the world go by.  As a child I lifted in a country town in South Australia.  My grandma lived up the road from us.   I would pass her place every day going to and from school or anywhere really.  Grandma also had fancy work hanging from her verandah.  

This Lazy Days Stamp Set and Lazy Days Dies can be found in the Annual Catalogue ©2023 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 19.  You can purchase them together and receive 10% discount or separately as you wish.
