Welcome to week forty one 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 Pumpkin Pie from the Regals family.
SALE-a-bration ends next Wednesday night so I decided to showcase the adorable SALE-a-bration Thanks a Bunch stamp set once again, this time combining it with the Easter Bunny stamp set.
My card was inspired by a gorgeous card made by a very talented German demonstrator called Mandy Pätzold, who combined these two stamp sets and popped her rabbit in a teacup – I’ve placed my rabbit in the wooden basket from the Cheerful Basket Stamp Set instead.
There are only three colours on this card: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Crumb Cake. For all these colours I’ve used them at full strength as well as stamped off once for a lighter tone and I’ve used both the dark and the light Stampin’ Up! blends.

The larger carrots and carrot leaves and fernery from the Thanks A Bunch stamp set are stamped and fussy cut with paper snips. The smaller carrots and the bunny rabbit are from the Easter Bunny stamp set and the basket from the Cheerful Basket Stamp Set are stamped in Memento and coloured with Stampin’ blends.
I’m not going to lie, there is a bit of fuss cutting in this card, however I find it very relaxing. Do you enjoy fussy cutting? My top tip for curves and angles is to turn the paper, rather than your paper snips.
I’ve roughed up the side edges of the top Basic White layer using my paper snips and added a simple Pumpkin Pie bow from the Three Twine Combo Pack.
The “Hey, there” sentiment comes from the Thanks A Bunch stamp set – this is a great all purpose sentiment that allows me to use the card for a variety of reasons, depending on what I decide to stamp inside.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Di Furniss – I can’t wait to see what Di has made this week!

Very clever card and creative use of colour. Lovely.
Thank you Corinne!
He looks to be the happiest bunny ever!!!!
Well, this is just adorable! Love everything about it (even the carrots, which I saw no sense in when the set was released, LOL). Your colouring is great, fussy cutting lovely (yes, I too find it relaxing), and card just beautifully composed, Cath. I love the Pumpkin Pie dots behind the rabbit’s head. 🙂
You’re right Cathy, snap on the colour combo. I just think it works so well but you can keep your fussy cutting. I definitely do not find it relaxing. Having said all of that you have created a super cute card. Even though it is the Easter Bunny bundle your card can be used for a multitude of occasions. Love it.
This is just the cutest, Catherine! I recently bought this set and I’m looking forward to creating with it. I do love a bit of fussy cutting too. I keep scrolling back to look at your card, it’s really gorgeous! Your little bunny looks very happy with his surroundings.
This is adorable, Cathy. That little bunny in a basket of carrots – reminds me of Peter Rabbit, one of my all time favourite children’s book. I love the tones of colour you have achieved with stamping off. Your basket looks watercoloured, so you’ve mastered those blends!!!
Such a cute card Cathy, I love your gorgeous bunny and the fact that he’s in a basket of carrots is perfect!
Peter Rabbit, eat your heart out! How absolutely adorable! I love that the wooden tub is overflowing, and the carrots on the ground are a wonderful finishing touch. Such a gorgeous card!
This is just so damn cute Cathy. Love it!
