Colour Creations Instagram Hop Azure Afternoon

 Hi,

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues.  Azure Afternoon is this week’s colour.  Isn’t it a beautiful blue?

I love this Ready Set Go Stamp Set.  Once again it evokes more memories of my past.  

When I grew up we only had one tv.  Most of the time what we were watching depended on who had the controls.  My dad was an avid sport, racing car watcher.  Most weekends the tv was turned to any sport that was going.  If there was a car racing event, that was part of the mix.  These memories are fond ones now, maybe not so much at the time. 

Anyway, back to the card.  I teamed the Azure Afternoon with Daffodil Delight. I also used Sunset Coast Dies and the retired embossing folder, Subtle.  A little bit of blending brushes and voila, a pretty good card for someone in my family 

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 Insta Hop Peaceful Pine

Hi,

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues. Peaceful Pine, the last of our new In Colours, is this week’s colour.  It is such a soft dark green. 

I just love these Everyday Arches Dies.  They can be used in many different ways. This example be,ow is probably using the most popular but still spectacular.  I also used Relaxing Waterside Dies, a sheet from April’s Paper Pumpkin.  Happy Birthday is a retired dies, Wanted to Say Dies 

This scene resonates with me. I grew up about 8 klms from the beach.  I spent most weekends at the beach.    When we went away for holidays Dad always took the boat that he built.  First boat was a canoe, second was a cabin cruiser which just grew and grew.  Many, many hours were spent at the seaside.  Sitting in a chair with a book and cuppa beside the sea, with seagulls in the sky just does it for me.

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.

Colour Creations Instagram Hop Hydrangea Hue

Hi, 

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues. Hydrangea Hue, one of our new In Colours, is this week’s colour.  Isn’t it a beautiful colour?

This fun fold is a bit of a favourite.  I used the Eyelet Blooms Die, Mixed Floral Stamp Set and Scalloped Wishes Stamp Set.  The measurements are as follows:

Card stock - 8 1/4” x 5 1/2”, score at 3”, 6”, and 7”.

Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4” x 2 1/2” and 3/4” x 5 1/4”.

Colour Creations Instagram Hop, Crisp Cantaloupe

Hi, 

I am very sorry.  I lost my mojo for several months.  I had trouble creating cards let alone creating new ones.  Hopefully I am back. 

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues. Crisp Cantaloupe, one of our new In Colours, is this week’s colour.  

As I shared last year, any shade of orange is not a a colour that I use.  I spent one night unable to sleep, thinking about this card and the designated colour.  I also have a number of stamp sets that I have not used yet.  So my plan was to use one of these. 

I used Delicate Whispers Stamp Set and Dies.  I also used Crisp Cantaloupe and Peaceful Pine stamp pads and Blends. I also embossed the Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock with a favourite but retiredembossing folder, Exposed Brick 3D.

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.

Colour Creations Instagram Hop - Golden Glow

Hi, 

Our group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists, (Art of With Heart Team), are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues. Golden Glow, one of our new In Colours, is this week’s colour.  

Isn’t this a lovely yellow.  It reminds me a little of So Saffron, only darker.  However it is a soft yellow.  Once again, during a sleepless night, I thought about the stamps that have not been used.  We also have several friend’s birthdays coming up, who are mad photographers.  I used the Capturing Smiles Stamp Set and dies. ‘Smile’ came from retired Capture the Good Stamp Set.

Colour Creations Week 21 Fresh Freesia

Hi everyone, 

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists are working through each colour cuurently available in the catalogues. Fresh Freesia is this week’s colour.  

Fresh Freesia is a funny colour.  It is not a purple or a pink but something in between.  So what colour goes with it.  I searched Pinterest and found Blackberry Bliss.  It seems a bit dark.  However after spending some time putting this with that and that with this, the card below was created. 

I used Delightful Wishes Bundle.  I hope you like it.

Colour Creations Week 21 Flirty Flamingo

Hi everyone, 

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists are working through each colour cuurently available in the catalogues. Flirty Flamingo is this week’s colour.  

I purchased Petal Arrangements Stamp set and immediately thought of Proteas.  I googled Proteas for their colours hoping to use it today.  When I started thinking about this I was on video chat with Mum.  She was a bit wary.  Mum knew the popular colour for Proteas but not aware of other colours.  I googled and found just the one to copy. 

Below is my example.  I used Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly, light and dark Soft Succulent Blends to colour the Proteas. I teamed it with Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder.

Colour Creations Week 20 Early Espresso

 Hi everyone, 

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists created a group called Colours Creations.  Each week we work through the colours, alphabetically, for the year.  This week is Early Espresso.  This colour has been around for the entire time I have been part of Stampin Up. 

I created these cards using Peaceful Pier Stamp Set found in the Annual Catalogue ©2025 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 96. 

I bought the stamp because I love the little boy sitting on the chair fishing.  This brings back many memories of my brothers and I fishing together.  As children we grew up about 10 klms from the beach.  We were at the beach every sunny weekend.  We also spent our holidays at the beach, Port Lincoln, Kangaroo Island, once at West Beach, and another at Port Hughes. 

Anyway, back to the stamp set.  I also love ‘Somebody knows……’ sentiment.  

I started with the idea of water colouring the little boy etc. however I was not happy so started again.  However below is the completed water colouring attempt.

I am really happy with these last two.  

I hope the recipients will have some fond memories to remember, when they receive these cards, during their time of struggle

Colour Creation Week 19 Daffodil Delight

Hi everyone,

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists created a group called Colours Creations.  Each week we work through the colours, alphabetically, for the year.  This week is Daffodil Delight.  This colour was an InColour several years ago.  Every 5 years or so, Stampin Up review their colours. During the last review, this colour was included in the regular colours.  It is such a cheerful colour, ready for spring. 

My card is a fairly basic card.  I started off with Mixed Florals Stamp Set.  I wanted to colour the tulips in Daffodil Delight.  The rest fell into place a bit with Mum’s help. 

Mum and I video chat every couple of nights. I usually make cards while talking to Mum. As I did with this card, I ask her, does this go with this, or that.  It was also the first time that I used Mixed Labels Stamp Set.

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.

Stampin Up Craft A Long

Hi everyone, 

Last week, Stampin Up had a Craft A Long where a number of demonstrators and hobbyists created the same cards using different designer series paper but the same measurements.   We tried new techniques, some I liked, some I didn’t.  That’s okay though. 

On page 42 in the new Mini Catalogue, as pictured above, we chose a 12” x 12” sheet of designer series paper.  We were given measurements on Zoom.  We followed along and created the same cards using the sheets that we chose.  I chose ‘Trimming the Town’ Designer Series Paper. 

So below are the cards that I made.  I actually liked this process.  It enable me to chose a sheet that I had no idea what to do with it.  I have a number of 12” x 12” available where I will do this again.

Colour Creation Week 18 Crushed Curry

 Hi everyone, 

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists created a group called Colours Creations.  Each week we work through the colours, alphabetically, for the year.  This week is Crushed Curry.  This colour has been around for the entire time I have been part of Stampin Up. 

I had this idea.  It took a couple of goes.  

I used Beautiful Butterflies Bundle..  I embossed white butterflies all over the card stock.  I also embossed another with black butterflies.  I also embossed another butterfly on white card stock and coloured it will watercolour pencils. I finished it off with a sentiment from Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. 

I prefer the white butterflies.

Colour Creation Week 17 Crumb Cake

 Hi everyone, 

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists are working through each colour cuurently available in the catalogues. Crumb Cake is this week’s colour.  

Here is my example.  I have seen these cards where there is a white flower on a darker background. I am not sure how the others were created.  I have not looked for a video yet.  

I created this one using White stamp pad, and Thankful Garden Stamp Set and stencils.  A lIttle variation in the white is evident.  Not bad for a first attempt.
