Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy Pacific Point Cards – Week 34 AWH Colour Creations

Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy Pacific Point Cards – Week 34 AWH Colour Creations

Welcome to week thirty four of our Art With Heart 2022-23 Colour Creations blog hop, our first hop for 2023!

This is a weekly blog hop where we showcase the stunning range of Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order over 12 months and this week we are featuring Pacific Point from the Brights family.

Tomorrow morning the new January-April Mini Catalogue and SALE-a-bration Catalogue are launched and one of the free SALE-a-bration items you can redeem for a $180 spend is the Beautifully Happy stamp set.

The Beautifully Happy stamp set is very versatile because it includes a good variety of sentiments, floral line drawings that can be coloured in, a “splatter” stamp, a tiny little bee stamp and “distinktive” stamps that allow you to stamp shaded colour inside the flowers and leaves instead of hand colouring.

To show the versatility of this stamp set I have made three different cards using three different ways of colouring the stamped images. All three cards pair Pacific Point with Tahitian Tide – don’t these two blues look amazing together!

Card One is a birthday card for my sister-in-law who turns 40 next week. The 40 has been die cut with the new Alphabet A La Mode Dies and the “Happy Birthday” sentiment is from the Something Fancy stamp set, both available in the January-April mini catalogue.

I’ve coloured the flower and leaves using Pacific Point and Old Olive Watercolour Pencils, finally blending the watercolour pencil lines with a Blender Pen to smooth the colour out.

Stitched Rectangle dies create the card layers.

The inside of the card uses two of the sentiments from the Beautifully Happy stamp set. These sentiments are designed to be used on both the front and the inside of a card however I think they also work well when stamped together.

Card two is another birthday card that uses the smaller flower image, stamped three times. To colour these flowers I used the distinktive stamps from the Beautifully Happy stamp set, stamping both the Pacific Point and the Mossy Meadow ink at full strength.

The sentiment is the same “happy birthday” stamp from the Something Fancy stamp set that I used on the front of card one. Stylish Shapes dies cut the card front layers and the sentiment.

Card three is a thank you card that is coloured with the distinktive stamps, however this time the Pacific Point and the Mossy Meadow have been stamped off once onto scrap paper before stamping onto the card front.

Once again, the Stitched Rectangle dies create the front card layers.

I know I am going to get a lot of use from the Beautifully Happy stamp set as its variety of sentiments make it ideal for so many different occasions and it can be coloured in so many different ways.

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!

Stampin’ Up! Old Olive Dainty Flowers DSP Cards – Week 33 AWH Colour Creations

Stampin’ Up! Old Olive Dainty Flowers DSP Cards – Week 33 AWH Colour Creations

Welcome to week thirty three of our Art With Heart 2022-23 Colour Creations blog hop, our last hop for this year before we take a two week break over Christmas and New Year.

This is a weekly blog hop where we showcase the stunning range of Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order over 12 months and this week we are featuring Old Olive from the Regals family.

Who’s ready for a sneak peek of some items from the new Mini Catalogue and SALE-a-bration Catalogue?

I’m excited to share with you three cards made using a stunning new SALE-a-bration DSP that will be available in just a few week’s time.

The Dainty Flowers DSP has been hand water coloured and it will be free to redeem with any order of $90 or over from January 5, 2023.

Photos don’t really do justice to just how beautiful this DSP is in real life. The water coloured floral pattern I’ve used for all three cards actually looks like it has been embossed!!

For the sentiments on all three cards, I stamped them in Versamark onto Old Olive cardstock and then heat embossed the sentiments with white emboss powder.

The “Love you” sentiment is from another forthcoming SALE-a-bration item, the Thanks A Bunch stamp set.

The “Thank You” and “Sending Happy Thoughts” sentiments are from yet another forthcoming SALE-a-bration stamp set, Beautifully Happy.

All three cards have a Crumb Cake cardstock base and the only embellishment is some linen thread.

After all, with Designer Series Paper this beautiful, you really don’t need to do much at all!

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!
