Stampin’ Up! Soft Sea Foam Celebrate Sunflowers Card

Stampin’ Up! Soft Sea Foam Celebrate Sunflowers Card

Welcome to week forty eight of our Art With Heart 2022-23 Colour Creations blog hop – only two more weeks to go!

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 Soft Sea Foam, one of the core colours in the Subtles family.

The Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and it’s matching Sunflower dies are one of my all time favourite stamps and dies and as they are both retiring soon and on special I thought I’d give them a send off by using the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in my Soft Sea Foam card this week.

I’m not sure what the name of this technique is, but it’s super easy to do with just about any floral stamp set and your Stampin’ Blends. You simply stamp the images in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto white cardstock and then colour in with your blends.

The space between the images is coloured using the light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blend but it looks like Pool Party in these photos!

The sunflowers are coloured in Daffodil Delight and so Saffron, with Old Olive for the leaves.

I always make sure to stamp images off the sides of the cardstock – it looks a bit funny if you don’t do this.

Once it was all coloured in I attached a strip of Soft Sea Foam sheer ribbon using Tear’n’Tape and adhered a bow of the ribbon (cut in half) using a glue dot.

I stamped and heat embossed in white a sentiment onto Basic black cardstock, fussy cut it using paper snips, and adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A few Matte Black Dots (also on special and retiring soon) were the final touch.

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!

Soft Sea Foam Pansy Petals Card – AWH Colour Creations

Soft Sea Foam Pansy Petals Card – AWH Colour Creations

Welcome to week 45 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Soft Sea Foam from the Subtles family.

This very pale green is combined with Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent in the striped paper in the soon to be retired and currently half price ($10) Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper. This monotone striped paper (top right sheet in the photo below) inspired the colour combination for my card today.

Did you know there are actually several variety of green pansies in real life? Regardless, I still would have still made green pansies as I love taking a bit of artistic licence when making my cards.

This Basic Border die provides a lovely scalloped and stitched edge to the Basic White layer and the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels (also retiring soon) add a touch of bling to the centre of my pansies.

I just love how these Pansy dies add so much texture at the same as they die cut the flowers out.

The sentiments in the Pansy Patch Stamp Set have the most delightful mix of fonts – I’m so happy these Pansy dies and the Pansy Patch Stamp Set are both carrying over to the new annual catalogue.

Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Diane– I can’t wait to see what Di has made this week!

If you live in Australia, you can find and purchase these products in my Stampin’ Up! Online Store.

We will be back next Wednesday to showcase our final colour for our AWH Colour Creations blog – Soft Suede – on April 27. But don’t worry, we are not finishing the blog hop. We will be hopping the week after, starting the next year with the new 2022-23 In Colours and continuing for another year.

Wherever you are in the world, stay safe, stay calm … and keep on crafting xxx
