Welcome to week thirty-nine of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Petal Pink, a soft and slightly orangey pink from the subtles family.
As I needed to make a new baby girl card for a friend of mine, it was the perfect opportunity to use the FREE (with any purchase over $90) “Cradled with Love” Saleabration stamp set.
This is a pop-up fancy fold card called a Double Z card. Here is a metric template for this simple fancy fold.
After cutting, scoring and folding the card base I’ve added a DSP layer using this pretty spotted pink paper from a brand new online exclusives suite of products coming in March, called Flowering Zinnias.
The cradle, rug and elephant were all stamped in Memento black ink and coloured using Petal Pink and Crumb Cake stampin’ blends.
I’ve used the new Mini alphabet dies to personalise this card for sweet baby Essi.
Scalloped rectangle die layers create a place to write a message inside.
Or you could also add the largest Scalloped rectangle die to the back of the card too.
In the inside fold I’ve stamped a little message and added another elephant, stamped onto the DSP and fussy cut out.
A strip of DSP adhered to the back flap of the envelope is the final touch.
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 thirty seven of our Art With Heart 2022-23 Colour Creations blog hop.
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 Petal Pink from the Subtles family.
After using so many colours last week, I’ve kept my card deliberately monochrome this week, using just Petal Pink, Basic Black and Very Vanilla, three of the colours in the Abigail Rose 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper.
I love Designer Series Papers that have coordinating dies to cut out images – it saves so much stamping time. The Cottage Flower dies not only cut out images from the Cottage Rose stamp set, they also cut out flowers and leaves from this sheet of DSP.
I’ve simply arranged the die cut images in a row over the top of where the Very Vanilla cardstock and Abigail Rose striped DSP meet on my card front.
The “Happy Birthday” sentiment is stamped onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock, trimmed with my paper trimmer before adhering to the card front.
The inside of the card and the back of the envelope are decorated with leftover die cut pieces and DSP offcuts.
I was planning on colouring in the roses with my Petal Pink Stampin’ blends, but I really liked the simplicity of the card as it was, so I left the die cut pieces uncoloured.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Rosa Leyden – I can’t wait to see what Rosa has made this week!
