Welcome to week forty-two of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Pretty Peacock, a deep teal colour that is an absolute favourite of mine.
As there’s only one day left of Sale-a-bration, I’m sharing a card I’ve made using the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards & Envelopes, one of the new items added as a Sale-a-bration reward in February.
This pack contains 20 cards and 20 envelopes. Having the card base and envelope ready cuts down on your prep time and helps you get to crafting much quicker.
It’s my husband’s birthday this weekend and as he is a surfer it was a no-brainer to use the Beach Day bundle to make his birthday card.
I’ve used the surfboard die from the Beach Days dies and two of the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More cards from the card pack to make the floral and the striped Pretty Peacock surfboards, with the black and white surfboard die cut from the Zoo Crew 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper.
The rest of the stamped images and dies are from the Beach Day bundle.
The Happy birthday sentiment is created using stickers found in the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack.
This gorgeous matching envelope is also included in the free Sale-a-bration Sweet Thoughts Memories & More cards and envelopes.
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!

Oh wow, this is so striking! That M&M card and envelope are perfect to set the surfing scene. Those boards are amazing sitting in the grass and the deck chair below the palm tree, brilliant. I can see you sitting there watching Pete and boys out in the surf! Happy birthday, Pete.
Such a great use of the cards from M& M, glad I invested in both during SAB. The different patterned surf boards are lovely, a perfect card for your man. PS my surfer son celebrates his birthday today, he also received a card made with Beach days!
Lovely Surfer card great for either a girl or boy who loves the beach and surfing. I love the colours of the boards and how you have positioned them in the sand.
Your card is fantastic! Pretty Peacock works so unexpectedly well with black to create a beachy scene. I hope that Pete loved it!
Oh I just love your card Cathy and what a perfect card for your Husband! I know he is going to love it! Those surfboards are just the best and what a perfect background with the M&M cards! Happy Birthday Pete!
Such a great card for your surfer husband Cathy. Pretty Peacock teams beautifully with Black and white and I really love those surf boards.
Oh, such a wonderful card Cathy. I love the beach scene with those gorgeous surf boards. Black, Pretty Peacock and white is striking in this scene. Perfect and I am sure your husband will love it. xxx
Stunning card Cathy, Pretty Peacock looks amazing with black and white. I love the surf boards from the patterned DSP.
What a fun card and perfect colour choice for a male birthday card for your husband! Love the patterned surfboards.
Just fabulous, Cath! I love the Pretty Peacock, black and white colour combo – and those surfboards are delightful. Great use of the M&M cards.
