Welcome to week forty-seven of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Soft Sea Foam, a very soft green from the subtles family.
I had so much fun playing with the Easter Bunny Stamp set last week I’ve used again to make some baby cards I was asked to make for a baby girl called Charlotte and a baby boy called Morgan.
For Morgan’s card the bunny was coloured in using Crumb Cake light and dark Stampin’ Blends with light Petal Pink for his ears, nose and tummy.
I created a nesting barrel for the rabbit by using the largest of the stretched hexagon shape Nested Essentials Dies. The timber Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper was embossed using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder before die cutting with the Nested Essentials Dies.
Cut the die piece in half – you will now have two trapezoids. Then run through the Bigshot with the die on a side angle to create the barrel shape with a stitched edge that is the correct height fopr the bunny. Just be sure to only die cut the top edge of the barrel – don’t run the entire die through the Bigshot.
The grass on Morgan’s card was coloured using Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends.
His name was die cut from Basic White card stock using the online exclusive Mini Alphabet Dies, also coloured using Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends.
Charlotte’s card is a horizontal card (to fit the letters of her name on the card front) and it uses a mix of Bubble Bath and Soft Sea Foam.
I’ve added a few of the smallest Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the centre of the flowers for some added sparkle.
Both cards feature a twine bow as well as DSP layers with the Subtles 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper. This DSP, along with the retiring Easter Bunny Stamp Set and Easter Bunny punch, are all retiring soon.
I’ve added leftover strips of the DSP to the back of the envelope flaps.
And both cards have been stamped on the inside with two of the sentiments from the Charming Sentiments stamp set.
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!

Welcome to week forty-six of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop! Only four more weeks to go until we start a brand new year of blog hopping with 5 new InColors and and brand new neutral to add to our range as well!
Our colour this week is Smoky Slate, a soft grey neutral. As it is Easter this weekend and the Easter Bunny Stamp set and matching Easter Bunny punch are both retiring soon I’ve made an Easter card.
I’ve used Stampin Blends in Smoky Slate and Petal Pink to colour my adorable bunny. The colour lifter allows for even more variation in shading of Smoky Slate.
I’m so glad the Petal Park Builder stamp set and matching punch are not retiring!
I’ve stamped the flower and petals in Tuxedo Black before colouring with Stampin Blends in Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green and Petal Pink (for the inside of the flowers).
I love this largest “Around the bend” die – it creates a lovely point of interest on a card front!
I don’t usually send Easter cards so I’ll probably pop another sentiment over the “Happy Easter” sentiment before I send this card.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Tina Gillespie. I can’t wait to see what Tina has made this week!

Welcome to week forty-five of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Shaded Spruce, a rich deep blue green from the Regals family. As the Last Chance Products lists for both the The January–April 2024 Mini Catalogue and the 2023–2024 Annual Catalogue have now been released I thought I’d use a stamp set that is soon to be retired but I haven’t inked it up yet!
I’ve watercoloured Shaded Spruce and Blackberry Bliss onto Fluid 100 watercolour paper using my water painter to achieve a much softer shade. Once the watercolour paper was dry I punched out flowers and petals using the Petal Park Builder Punch. This punch will be carrying over to the new catalogue, but the stamp set will be retiring.
I love the texture all these layers in the punch give to the flowers!
I added Black Classic Matte Dots to centre of the flowers and to the rotary dial on the phone to add even more dimension!
Originally, I was planning on making a vertical card, however I changed my mind after I had adhered my layer of embossed Basic White card stock so the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder is actually the wrong way around, but hopefully no-one will notice, LOL!
Leftover flowers and leaves decorated the inside of the card.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Rachel Palmieri. I can’t wait to see what Rachel has made this week!

Welcome to week forty-four of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Real Red, a true red from the brights colour family colour.
I’m using the Classic Letters stamp set for my quick and easy card this week. The Classic Letters stamp set is a fabulous alphabet and number set that is one of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusive products. I love the greenery flourishes that can be added to any of the letters or numbers.
I was hoping to achieve a slightly vintage vibe with my Real Red, Petal Pink and Tahitian Tide colour combination. Does this colour combination give you vintage vibes?
The gorgeous spotted Petal Pink DSP is from another online exclusive product – the Flowering Zinnias 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper.
The slimline shape of my card was dictated by the finished size and shape of the my stamped “Hello”. I then stamped greenery flourishes in Tahitian Tide before adding dots of Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics lacquer in Real Red.
It’s hard to photograph the shine and dimension of the Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics – a side on view gives a better idea of what this card looks like in real life.
The Petal Pink flower embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers and the Tahitian Tide Bakers twine comes from the 2022–2024 In Color Baker’s Twine Pack.
All of the 2022–2024 In Color products (including Tahitian Tide) are about to retire so stock up now before they sell out!
I’m very excited to be heading to the Stampin’ Up! OnStage convention in Melbourne first thing tomorrow morning so hopefully by next Wednesday I’ll be able to share some of the brand new 2024-26 In Colours to share with you!
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Rachel Palmieri. I can’t wait to see what Rachel has made this week!

Welcome to week forty-three of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Pumpkin Pie, a bright orange colour. I’m using some brand new online exclusive products that are available to order from today – the Flowering Zinnia Suite.
I’ve die cut cardstock in some of the colours from the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper: Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie.
The ‘Thinking of You” sentiment is from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder. I’ve inked up one side of the embossing folder with Memento Black Ink before inserting the die into the folder with Basic White cardstock.
I’ve now got all all these spare sentiments to use on other cards!
I made a matching envelope for the card using the Flowering Zinnias DSP.
The black and white striped DSP on the side of the card is from the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper.
This side angle photo shows the lovely dimension you can get with these Flowering Zimmia dies and the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder.
Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins from the Flowering Zinnia Suite add a final touch of bling.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Andrea Sargent. I can’t wait to see what Andrea has made this week!
