In the end I decided to use the Painted Seasons bundle to make four cards with matching lined envelopes.
I made four cards to show all the sheets of DSP and to use every dynamic stamp, as well as the all of the dies. Here they all are with their matching envelopes.
My favourite card is the winter card, featuring this stunning pinecone Dynamic stamp.
My next favourite card is the spring card, featuring the beautiful poppy stamp.
Next up are the stunning summer succulents…
…and finally, the autumnal card.
I used the notecards with matching envelopes to make this set of four cards, hand cutting the reverse of the DSP to line the envelope flaps.
The happy birthday sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set in the ocassions catalogue and a bow of linen thread finishes off the four cards.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the very talented Sue Madex.

Welcome to week 37 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop!
Our colour this week is one of the 2018-20 in colours: Pineapple Punch.
As much as I adore yellow used as an accent colour with black, white or grey I decided to go with a more vibrant colour combination this week by using the Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack and the Happiness Blooms Memories & More Cards & Envelopes.
I love the look of Pineapple Punch with Night of Navy, Call Me Clover, Calypso Coral and Lovely Lipstick.
The Memories & More Card Pack makes card making so easy I ended up making 4 cards this week. There was no stamping, die-cutting or punch involved…all I needed to make these cards was adhesive, paper snips and embellishments.
My first card uses one of the Marimekko inspired florals. I added a strip of vellum to soften the colour topped with a long white sticker from the Memories & More Card Pack. I embellished the white sticker with some of the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots, and the “best wishes” sentiment sticker mounted onto a scrap of Pineapple Punch cardstock. The finishing touch was a flower fussy cut from the same Memories & More Card Pack and a Night of Navy twine bow.
Cards two and three use the smaller sized Happiness Blooms Memories & More Cards & Envelopes, Pineapple Punch ribbon, stickers, Night of Navy twine and Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots.
My final card uses the big Happiness Blooms Memories & More Cards & Envelopes, vellum, Pineapple Punch ribbon and Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots. The sentiment is cut from one of the Memories & More Cards and then mounted onto the reverse side of that card.
This colour combination is so bright and happy…great for men as well as women. And I just love the matching envelopes with their striped flaps!

Welcome to week 36 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop!
Our colour this week is another one from the subtles family: Petal Pink.
At first glance Petal Pink, Powder Pink and Blushing Bride all look very similar but when you line them up side by side Petal Pink has a lot more orange in it, which is why it makes such a great skin tone.
Petal Pink was the perfect colour for me to use for this gorgeous little bunny from the new Fable Friends stamp set. Although this staamp is reminiscent of Peter Rabbit with his little blue jacket I decided to mix it up and create a soft grey female bunny with a petal pink jacket.
After stamping the image, I coloured the bunny in with Smoky Slate and Petal Pink blender pens, die cut it out with the largest oval from the stitched framelits die set and made a fun fold card…although I’m not sure what this type of fold is actually called!
The beautiful DSP is from two sets: the striped paper and the spotted paper inside the card are from the Subtles Designer Series Paper, however the larger dotted paper on the outside of the card is from the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper.
In addition to the rabbit from Fable Friends, I used two stamps from the Incredible Like You Photopolymer Stamp Set: the “I adore you” sentiment and the dots I’ve stamped in Petal Pink down the right hand side of the card.
The final touch is a bow made from the new Petal Pink/Whisper White Variegated Ribbon.

Welcome to week 35 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop!
Our colour this week is from the subtles family: Pear Pizzazz.
Pear Pizzazz is yet another colour I have not paid enough attention to and certainly not used enough!
However, the colour combination in the stunning Floral Romance DSP pack really caught my eye (Fresh Fig, Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink, Sahara Sand, Whisper White and Pear Pizzaz) and so I decided to use it for my card this week.
I started with a Memories and More Card onto which I mounted the soft wood grain patterned DSP in Sahara Sand. You can see this lovely neutral background more clearly on my card below.
I then used two of the long thin Stitched Rectangle Framelits to cut out a rectangle of Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White. The congratulations sentiment comes from the Ballon Celebration stamp set…I love the long thin elegance of this font.
The gorgeous clusters of flowers and leaves I simply fussy cut using my paper snips from a sheet of the patterned vellum. To further add texture and dimension I used my bone folder to curl the leaves up.
I arranged the leaves and flower around the sentiment and adhered them using glue dots. A small bow of Old Olive sheer ribbon adds even more dimension.
The remaining leaves and flowers I used to decorate the flap of the envelope as well as inside the card. The “you are amazing” sentiment inside the card comes from the Amazing Life stamp set.

Welcome to week 34 of the Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop!
Our colour this week is from the bright’s family: Pacific Point.
This is such a vibrant, beautiful blue…but I have to admit I rarely use it because Night of Navy is such a favourite of mine. But after using it this week (along with Bermuda Bay, Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White) to make these beautiful butterflies I think it’s a colour I’ll be using a lot more from now on.
If you look closely at the photo above you’ll see the new butterfly punch, watercolour pencils in Pacific Point and Bermuda Bay…
…and sorry (but not really sorry) the stitched rectangle framelits yet again!
For my first card, I stamped in Stazon ink onto watercolour paper, then simply coloured the edges of my butterflies with the Pacific Point watercolour pencil and used the blender pen to blend the blue in, leaving some white space towards the centre of the butterfly.
After punching the butterflies out I stamped the body of the butterfly and attached it with glue dots to whisper white card stock. The antenna was stamped after the butterfly was attached.
For all three cards, I mounted the whisper white card stock onto some Soft Sea Foam card stock before mounting onto a rectangle of Pacific Point and then onto a Memories and More small card that comes with its own envelope.
I find most of the blues and greens usually work really well together.
My other two cards are horizontal, using two of the other butterfly stamps in the Butterfly Gala stamp set. I used both watercolour pencils in Pacific Point and Bermuda Bay, blending again with the blender pan.
I also played around with the positioning of the sentiment and the butterflies for my third card.
I love this stamp set because it is so easy to colour in different ways. You can stamp the colour using the stamps provided, use your markers, your blends, your watercolour pencils, or even lift the ink direct from your ink pad to colour the butterflies in.
And butterflies look incredible in any colour combination, thery are just so beautiful!
