Welcome to week twenty six of our Art With Heart 2022-23 Colour Creations blog hop!
This is a weekly blog hop where we showcase the stunning range of Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order over 12 months and this week we are featuring Highland Heather from the subtles family.
This week I’m using a stamp set that is great for any kind of colouring: the Full of Love Stamp Set.
This is also great stamp set for stampers who are starting their stamp collection as it contains a variety of sentiments and images.
I’ve actually used a sentiment from another stamp set – Inspired Thoughts – but that is only because I am CASEing the “Hello, hello, hello” card from page 76 of the Annual Catalogue.
The Stampin’ Up! designers layered the die cut sentiment over a strip of the Natural Finish Ribbon to cover the stamped envelope, revealing just the flowers that surround the envelope. I’ve also done this for my two cards below.
I’ve taken a risk with my colour choice for both cards, combining Highland Heather, which is a soft subtle colour, with two very intense colours: Blackberry Bliss and Orchid Oasis.
Card one combines Highland Heather with Blackberry Bliss, Balmy Blue, Gray Granite and Granny Apple Green.
Card one combines Highland Heather with Orchid Oasis, Balmy Blue, Gray Granite and Granny Apple Green.
Both cards use the smallest square in the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the coloured image, Highland Heather Subtles 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and Stampin’ Blends to colour the images.
The finishing touch is three Fresh Freesia Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan – I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!

Next Wednesday we will be showcasing one of the Brights, Mango Melody.
I hope you can join us then.
Two gorgeous cards Cathy. I love your colour combos – the “risk” worked so well. I love the little sections of ribbon showing under the sentiment and surrounded by flowers. Delightful. Very clever the way the envelope is hidden. Xxx
LOVE them both!!
Aren’t you a clever bunny covering up the little envelope with the ribbon. It looks fantastic and I love the colour selection for the flowers. The background papers remind me of wallpaper with some prints hanging up!
What great cards Cathy and I agree that the stamp set is a good all rounder. As well as that I love one that you can colour. I would never have thought to put the striped paper as the background but it works beautifully. My favourite is the one incorporating Blackberry Bliss.
I’d have never thought of Blackberry Bliss with Highland Heather, but yours is the 2nd card I’ve seen so far on this hop, and I’m loving the combo. Two beautiful additions to your stash.
Your colour choices are fabulous! Both cards look so good. I love the tiny snippets of ribbon peeking out from behind the sentiments, and the striped DSP is fantastic.
I really like your choice of the striped DSP for your card backgrounds, Cathy; it looks very smart! Love the boldly-coloured bouquets, the cute sentiment panels, and those lovely sequins. Great cards. x
