Welcome to week seventeen of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we’re featuring Cherry Cobbler from the Regals Family, a gorgeous deep red that I love, but I have to admit I mainly use it for Christmas cards.
So I have another something old/something new Christmas card to share with you. I’ve CASED this design from a card I saw on Pinterest created by Patti Brunter, however I have used different products on my card and added more Cherry Cobbler to the design.
Firstly, let’s take a closer look at the new products I’ve used for this card. The Snowy Wonder Bundle will be available to order from September 4 and I’ve used the holly stamps and dies on the front my card (the holly stamps are also used on the inside of the card).
I also stamped the three snowflake stamps in Versmark and heat embossed them in white on the Crumb Cake layer.
The other new product I’ve used is the wonderful Greetings of the Season Bundle that is available to order now in the online exclusives section of the Stampin Up! store.
I’ve split a sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set between the front of the card and the inside of the card. The top half the sentiment is stamped and heat embossed on the front of the card (I covered the bottom half of the greeting with a Post-It note).
The bottom half the sentiment is stamped on the inside of the card (I covered the top half of the greeting with a Post-It note).
The Greetings of the Season die is also used as the address label for the front of the envelope.
The “something old” in my card is the adorable Birds Eye View stamp set, coloured in with Stampin’ Blends and fussy cut. My colour combination is Cherry Cobbler, Pretty in Pink, Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake and Basic White. I love Cherry Cobbler with pink!!!!
The Cherry Cobbler embellishments and linen thread are both from the Rustic Christmas Countdown Kit. Don’t forget to use your stamp sets and embellishments that come in the kits!
I made the envelope from half a sheet of Shining Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. The spotted Cherry Cobbler pattern on the inside of the envelope is a pretty as the shiny holly side on the outside of the envelope.
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!

Welcome to week fifty of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop, the last one for the year before we start again next Wednesday night with our 2024-25 blog hop!
Tahitian Tide, one of the 2022-24 InColors is retiring on 31st April. I’ve paired it with Pumpkin Pie and used the adorable Birds Eye View stamp set (thankfully, this set is carrying over) to make two cards for this week.
As the Birds Eye View stamp set does not have any sentiments I’ve used sentiments from the Happy Labels stamp set. This stamp set is retiring on 31st April and it is massively reduced from $42 to $16.80 – well worth snapping up at this price!
I didn’t have any Tahitian Tide DSP left so I used my Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends to colour black and white patterns from both the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper and the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.
Card one features the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper coloured with the dark Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blend and the spotted Pumpkin Pie design from the Brights Designer Series Paper.
The bird was coloured in using light and dark Tahitian Tide, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. I love these three colours together!
For both cards, the embossing folders used on the top layer of Basic White Cardstock are from the Basics embossing folders, an online only exclusive that has three different folders.
And the fronds behind the bird are die cut using the Textured Floral dies.
For card two I’ve coloured the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper using my light Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blend and used another design from the Pumpkin Pie DSP in the Brights Designer Series Paper collection.
This bird was also coloured in using light and dark Tahitian Tide, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends.
This bird is sitting on a frond from the Textured Floral dies.
Balmy Blue Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins, Pumpkin Pie Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins and a simple bow of linen thread complete each card.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Christine Blain – I can’t wait to see what Christine has made this week!
