I’ll be back tonight at 8pm with a new card to share, when our Art With Heart Colour Creations team will be showcasing Basic Beige.
Welcome to week five of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
Today we’re featuring another of the new 2024-26 In Colors: Summer Splash. I’ve created this graphic to show how Summer Splash compares to the current blue/greens in the Stampin Up! colour range.
As I have been time poor this week I’m sharing a quick and simple watercolour card I made at our Stampin’ Up! Onstage conference earlier this year.
This card pairs Summer Splash with Pecan Pie and our new core colour, Basic Beige. I simply stamped the teapot and the plant from the Country Flowers stamp set using Black Stazon Ink onto watercolour paper and used a water painter to lift ink from the ink pads and watercolour the image.
This new Basic Beige colour is a wonderful substitute for Sahara Sand, especially for adding shadows under images to ‘ground’ the images in a scene.
I’ve decorated the inside of the card with a layer of Basic White cardstock, stamped in Black Memento ink. The little flowers are coloured in, this time using the Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends.
TIP – use Stazon Ink when using water in your colouring (e.g. water colouring with water painters and ink) and use Memento Ink when using alcohol markers to colour in (e.g. Stampin’ Blends).
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Di Furniss – I can’t wait to see what Di has made this week!

Welcome to week four of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
Today we’re featuring another of the new 2024-26 In Colors: Shy Shamrock. I’ve created this graphic to show how Shy Shamrock compares to the current blue/greens in the Stampin Up! colour range.
This week’s card continues my Country Woods Suite theme. My Shy Shamrock card uses the teapot in the Country Flowers stamp set to create a retro 50’s colour scheme Happy Birthday card.
If you’ve never created your own pattern using stamps before I recommend you begin by drawing a grid on your card front with a pencil you can rub out later. Use these grid lines to guide you and always stamp the images in your pattern off the sides of your cardstock.
Did you notice the teapot lids on my teapots? Although there is a teapot lid die in the Country Flowers dies, unfortunately there is no teapot lid stamp in the Country Flowers stamp set.
I watched Susan Wong draw her own teapot lids with a fine line marker in a Crafty Carrot video and I loved this idea so I CASED it! I first stamped the single line stamp and then drew the rest of the lid with my fine line marker.
My 50’s retro colour scheme pairs Shy Shamrock with Poppy Parade, Old Olive and Pool Party, using Stampin’ Blends to colour and shade the teapots.
Basic Rhinestones add a touch of bling. I’ve used Stampin’ Blends! to colour the Rhinestones on the teapots.
I stamped the inside of the card too.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Michele Taylor – I can’t wait to see what Michele has made this week!

Welcome to week three of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
Today we’re featuring another of the new 2024-26 In Colors: Pretty in Pink. I’ve created this graphic to show how Pretty in Pink compares to the current pinks in the Stampin Up! colour range.
This week’s card continues the Country Woods Suite theme. My Pretty in Pink card uses the Country Flowers bundle to create a flower market scene backed by a layer of Country Lace DSP.
I’ve CASED this card from page 48 of the Annual Catalogue. I loved the white painted tips of the milking stool, created with Pecan Pie light and dark Stampin’ Blends.
My version of this card has a colour scheme theat pairs Pretty in Pink with Granny Apple Green and a mix of neutrals: Basic Black, Basic White, Pecan Pie and Smoky Slate. I’ve also used the Country Lace DSP instead of an embossed cardstock layer.
Stampin’ Blends are the secret to creating dimension on the flower market tin container and the Pretty in Pink teapot. The Stampin’ Blends Colour Lifter pulls colour from images I’ve coloured with Stampin’ Blends markers to create additional highlights and dimension.
Blending the Pretty in Pink, Granny Apple Green and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends makes it easy to create colourful pink and green variegated plants too.
The “Happy Birthday” sentiment is from the Country Birdhouse stamp set, die cut out using an online exclusive die: Happy Little Things Dies. I then adhered the die cut sentiment to a strip of Smoky slate cardstock and used my paper snips to trim the ends to match the die cut.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Andrea Sargent – I can’t wait to see what Andrea has made this week!

The Country Woods Suite is hands down my favourite suite in the new catalogue so it was a no brainer to use it to make a Mother’s Day card for my mum.
However, as Mum reads my blog I couldn’t post this card until after we had our Mother’s Day get together at my place last night!
I’ve used the Country Woods Designer Series Paper, the Country Lace Designer Series Paper, the Country Birdhouse Dies and the Country Flowers Dies to create a sweet country collage scene of a bunch of flowers sitting on the edge of a wooden table.
I thought the Smoky Slate striped pattern from the Country Lace Designer Series Paper looked like wallpaper and the dark Early Espresso wood pattern from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper would be perfect for the table. So this stunning DSP was the starting point for my design.
Mum loves blues, especially Misty Moonlight, so I cut the jug that holds the flowers from another DSP pattern in the Country Lace. I also cut a cute little teapot with a lid and then decided not to use the teapot on this card – I’ll save it for another card.
The sweet little Petal Pink flowers are also die cut from the Country Lace Designer Series Paper using Country Flowers Dies. To make the green leaves I randomly coloured Basic White cardstock using Mossy Meadow Stampin Blends in light and dark before die cutting them out.
The “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment comes from the Sentimental Rose Kit, stamped in Early Espresso onto another wood DSP design in the Country Woods DSP.
I used two of the roof dies from the Country Birdhouse dies to create a picture frame for the sentiment. And the hanging bow die from the Country Birdhouse dies to add a bow of ribbon to the vase.
Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins add the final touch of bling!
I’ll be back on Wednesday night with the AWH Colour Creations team showcasing one of the new 2024 -26 In Colours, Pretty in Pink. I hope you can join me then.
