Welcome to the Monthly Art With Heart Creative Showcase.
This month the team are featuring projects using their favourite products from the new Stampin’ Up! 2020-21 Catalogue. The new catalogue is full of amazing new stamp sets, some bundled with dies or punches. The range of kits, papers and accessories complete the range of products you will see featured in this Showcase.
I don’t know about you, but choosing a favourite product is like choosing a favourite child. Impossible to do! However after much consideration I decided to make some cards using products from the stunning Forever Greenery Suite.
I love everything about this suite – the DSP, especially. But I think my absolute favourite part of this suite is the Gold 1/16 ” trim that comes with Vanilla Ribbon in the Forever Greenery Trim combo pack.
Tonight I made three different cards that all use the Forever Greenery Suite as well as some other new products.
My first card is a square card that actually features a different embossing folder – the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder from the Peony Garden Suite. Isn’t this embossing folder just stunning?
The circle is cut out with the largest of the layering circles and I used one of the stamps from the Forever Fern stamp set, stamped in Pretty Peacock, Pear Pizzaz and some Early Espresso.
The Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper adds an elegant touch of bling.
Card two uses a patterned paper from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper pack. I love how this rich dark wooden paper makes the elements on top of the card really pop.
But of course the main focal point of this card is the gorgeous Gold Hoop Embellishment tied with a bow of Gold 1/16 ” from the Forever Greenery Trim combo pack and another die cut piece from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper. The different green foliage are stamped and die cut using the Forever Fern Bundle.
The layout for my final card is a design I cased from a card made by Dani Dziama, who was an Artisan Design team member a few years ago. I loved the amount of white space on her card, but I changed all the main elements to make it my own.
The embossed white panel has been embossed using one of the Greenery embossing folders and I used one of the scalloped square layering dies to cut out some of the gorgeous Forever Greenery DSP.
For many of my photos today I’ve used one of the sheets of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper as my background because I love the way the cards look against this DSP. This paper below looks like real wood – it is amazing!
The next Art With Heart Team member to share their new catalogue projects is the super creative Andrea Sargent. I can’t wait to see what she’s made tonight.

Oh wow! I love your cards Cathy, the white embossed background looks so beautiful against the greenery and gold. Card two is gorgeous with the dark woodgrain it’s a favourite of mine and I love the gold bow. This Suite is on my order for next month for sure! Beautiful cards. xx
I love the crispness of the white and the gold against it! I haven’t got this set but your project has enticed me with these lovely colours.
I always look forward to seeing your projects, Catherine. And these three cards are just gorgeous. I love the freshness of white card with simple, but stunning embellishments and elements. And I cannot wait to get my hands on a pack of the amazing In Good Taste DSP, because your woodgrain card is just so lovely.
These are Beautiful!!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous Cathy. I love all your cards. I especially love the clean white that shows the embossing beautifully as well as featuring the lovely Forever Fern products. The woodgrain shows the gold hoop and the leaf spray beautifully as well. XXX
Now you are making it hard to pick your favourite card. I really love the diamond embossing folder background card that is gorgeous but I think the woodgrain dsp is just stunning! I agree it is so hard to pick a favourite new product or any product that is why I started at the beginning of the catalogue. LOL!
Your cards are so pretty! I love the crisp white, and especially the dainty embossing folder. I hadn’t noticed it before, but I love it!
You have been busy Cathy, so much gorgeousness in your cards. I can’t wait to play with this suite of products, you have really inspired me!
