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!

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!

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!

Welcome to week forty-one of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Poppy Parade, a lovely bright red that certainly packs a punch!
As there’s only just over a week left of Sale-a-bration, I’m sharing a birthday card I made in November for my youngest son who is halfway through his electrical apprenticeship. He loves his tools so the Sale-a-bration Trusty Toolbox DSP was simply perfect for him!
Apart from being a great DSP for masculine cards, what I particularly love about the Trusty Toolbox DSP is that the tool sheets have been designed to be die cut out using the Trusty Tools dies. This makes card making a breeze!
My simple silver tool box and handle were die cut from silver foil, mounted onto the card front using Dimensionals and then it was simply a matter of die cutting the tools from the DSP and arranging them into the tool box.
The tape measure is also a strip of Trusty Toolbox DSP. I love that there are both inches and centimetres on this particular design.
The “Happy birthday” sentiment is from the Hello Kiwi stamp set. I love the modern masculine font on this stamp set.
Die cut offcuts from the DSP that weren’t used on the card front decorate the inside of my card.
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!
