Welcome to week four of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
Today we’re featuring another of the new 2024-26 In Colors: Shy Shamrock. I’ve created this graphic to show how Shy Shamrock compares to the current blue/greens in the Stampin Up! colour range.
This week’s card continues my Country Woods Suite theme. My Shy Shamrock card uses the teapot in the Country Flowers stamp set to create a retro 50’s colour scheme Happy Birthday card.
If you’ve never created your own pattern using stamps before I recommend you begin by drawing a grid on your card front with a pencil you can rub out later. Use these grid lines to guide you and always stamp the images in your pattern off the sides of your cardstock.
Did you notice the teapot lids on my teapots? Although there is a teapot lid die in the Country Flowers dies, unfortunately there is no teapot lid stamp in the Country Flowers stamp set.
I watched Susan Wong draw her own teapot lids with a fine line marker in a Crafty Carrot video and I loved this idea so I CASED it! I first stamped the single line stamp and then drew the rest of the lid with my fine line marker.
My 50’s retro colour scheme pairs Shy Shamrock with Poppy Parade, Old Olive and Pool Party, using Stampin’ Blends to colour and shade the teapots.
Basic Rhinestones add a touch of bling. I’ve used Stampin’ Blends! to colour the Rhinestones on the teapots.
I stamped the inside of the card too.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Michele Taylor – I can’t wait to see what Michele has made this week!

We’ll be back next Wednesday, 29th May, showcasing another new 2024-26 In Color, Summer Splash
I hope you can join us then!
Great tip for the grid and I love how you added the lids.
You are much more methodical than I ever could be Cathy but I adore the rows of teapots. Also the rhinestones coloured to match is an extra-super touch, the inside is the icing on the cake.
Super-cute, Cath! What a happy birthday card the retro-coloured teapots make. I’m a much more random stamper when I create my own DSP, but your grid tip is very clever. Thanks for the explanation about the teapot lids, too – a sweet touch!
Love your retro card and the neat tip to create the grid with pencil on the card, clever. Love the colours, bright and happy & the lid drwn on looks great!
Such a great 50s retro card to feature Shy Shamrock Cathy. Well done on freehand drawing all those teapot lids too.
Cathy your card is fantastic and solves a mystery for me. I saw Susan finished card and couldn’t work out where the teapot lid stamp was. 🙂 I love your precise stamping courtesy of the grid and the colour scheme reminds me of my Nanny’s kitchen tiles. Very retro.
That’s some pretty fancy stamping Cathy! I looove your colour scheme, who would have thought Old Olive would look any good with Shy Shamrock? (You, obviously ) Great choice.
