Welcome to week thirty-four of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop, our final blog hop for 2024!
This week we’re featuring Melon Mambo, a lovely bright pink from the Brights family and I’m giving you a sneak peek of a FREE Sale-a-bration item coming very soon!.
As I was short of time I’ve reached for the FREE Rainbow Celebrations Kit that will be available on the 7th January. So how do you get this for free? With every $100 you spend during Sale-a-bration (7th January – 28th February) you can choose a FREE Sale-a-bration item from the brochure.
Here’s what you get in the FREE Rainbow Celebrations Kit. (OPPS! Not the Glossy Dots Assortment – I’ve added them to this photo because I used them in my card.)
I always like to modify my kits to get more bang for my buck! The kit makes 6 cards but I think I’ll make at least twice that using all the components.
I’ve adapted components from this kit to make my card, mounting just the front of the rainbow card base to a larger rectangle card base made from Summer Splash.
I don’t normally pair such bright colours together but this card makes me feel so happy with its bright retro vibes. Adding the Glossy Dots really ramps up the fun factor too!
I’ve used one of the sentiments on the inside of my card and you can also see the cute cloud detail on the inside of the matching envelopes too in this photo below.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!

Welcome to week thirty-three of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop, our second last blog hop for 2024!
This week we’re featuring Lost Lagoon, a green from the Subtles family. I’ve made three clean and simple cards tonight using the Frames & Flowers Specialty Paper.
The Frames & Flowers Specialty Paper has three sheets of double-sided designs and three sheets of die-cut greenery elements. I’ve used both the patterned paper and the die-cut elements on my cards tonight.
There is virtually no stamping on these cards, apart from the sentiments which are all from the Country Birdhouse stamp set, stamped in Early Espresso.
I’ve placed some Lost Lagoon gems from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack in the centre of the die-cut flowers on all three cards.
For this third card I’ve used an offcut piece from the sheet of die-cuts as my label so it better matched the other two cards.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan. I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!

Welcome to week thirty-two of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we’re featuring Lemon Lolly, a pale and creamy yellow colour from the Subtles family. I’ve made three clean and simple cards tonight using the Cheerful Daisies Stamp set and the Cheerful Daisies dies.
I’ve used notecards as my card bases, adding a panel of this adorable striped Lemon Lolly design from the Bright & Beautiful DSP.
For two of the cards I wrapped Lemon Lolly twine from the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack.
The other card has a bow of the Black & Very Vanilla 3/8″ (1 cm) Large Check Ribbon. Which do you prefer?
The foliage was die cut from Old Olive cardstock and the sentiment is from the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set.
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 thirty-one of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we’re featuring Lemon Lime Twist, a bright lemon/lime colour from the Brights family. I’ve made a card using one of the new Online Exclusives, the Umbrella Days Bundle.
I really wanted this vibrant colour to pop so I’ve paired it with a dark neutral colour, Pebble Path.
How cute is this little dog with his raincoat on! My dog, Superman, has a raincoat too and I’m sure this bundle will be a favourite for many dog lovers!
I also love the rain stamp and the dies for the clouds and the puddles.
I added spots to the umbrella (on the left) using my Pebble Path Stampin’ Blend! and created a two-tone umbrella (on the right) by die cutting the umbrella twice in Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and Pebble Path Cardstock.
I then adhered the two colours alternatively over the stamped umbrella.
Sponge daubers and bending brushes were used to add a hint of colour to the sky and the clouds. I white heat embossed the sentiment onto Pebble Path card stock and fussy cut it out.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan. I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!

The AWH Colour Creations team will be back next Wednesday 4th December, showcasing Lemon Lolly or you can join me tomorrow for some more Christmas inspiration.
Welcome to our last Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2024!
My simple stamping Christmas card was also made for the “Forest Friends” challenge for Day 25 of the 30 Days of Christmas card making challenge.
I’ve created a monochrome Christmas card that uses a large background stamp set, the Graceful Deer Stamp Set, which I’ve stamped in Pecan Pie.
Would you believe (apart from the sentiment) I’ve only used one stamp to create this forest scene?
A large background stamp like Graceful Deer Stamp Set is ideal for when you need a production line of Christmas cards.
Although I’ve added a few gold snowflake embellishments and some gold twisted thread I could also have simply stamped the image and left it at that!
The “Just for you” sentiment is from the Hang an Ornament Stamp Set, heat embossed in white.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Christine Blain. I can’t wait to see the project Christine has created this week!
If the next button link is not working or you’d like to see the entire list of participants go to Sharon Davern‘s blog.
Sharon has done an amazing job of hosting our Heart of Christmas blog every Monday. Thank you so much Sharon for organising our Christmas blog hop once again xx
Our AWH team will be back on Wednesday night, showcasing Lemon lime Twist. I hope you can join us then!
The challenge for Day 24 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is “Naughty or Nice”.
I’ve combined the santa hat and candy cane stamps from the Stampin’ Up! “Naughty & Nice stamp set with the penguin and holly stamps from the Snowy Wonder stamp set.
I’ve blended some Garden Green ink onto a die cut snowglobe (using the Snowy Wonder dies) before adhering my playful penguins on top.
The holly DSP is from the Reindeer Days 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper and the red layer under that is a Memories & More card from the Reindeer Days Memories & More Card Pack.
The “Naughty or Nice” sentiment and tag are also from the Stampin’ Up! Naughty or Nice stamp set.
I don’t usually make “cute cards” but these playful penguins with their santa hats really made me smile. Are they naughty or nice? I’ll let you decide!
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card and the final AWH Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2024!
The challenge for Day 23 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is a sketch challenge. Here is the sketch we are following.
Combining fussy cut and die cut images from the Snowy Wonder and Reindeer Fun Designer Series Papers to create a Christmas snow globe scene. The Pool Party background layer DSP is from the Nests of Winter DSP.
I love this colour combination of Pool Party, Real Red and Garden Green! If you look very closely you’ll see there’s also a touch of Early Espresso (the stick arms) and even Pumpkin Pie (the carrot nose).
The two sparkly white snowflake embellishments are die cut from the white glimmer paper in the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Glimmer Specialty Paper using the Snowy wonder die cuts.
The red embellishments are Basic Rhinestone Jewels coloured using a read Red Stampin’ Blend.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card and the final AWH Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2024!
The challenge for Day 22 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is a colour combination: Soft Lavender, Midnight Blue and Silver.
I’ve chosen Night of Navy, Fresh Freesia and Silver Foil for my Christmas card.
The Grove Dies were used to die cut night of Navy card stock to create the forest frame and to die cut the two deer from silver foil.
The background DSP with the touch of Fresh Freesia comes from the Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper. I’ve used this stunning watercolour scene.
The silver heat embossed sentiment comes from the Peaceful Season stamp set. I’ve only used the first half of the sentiment.
To do this I’ve covered the parts of the sentiment I don’t want to use with a Post It note, stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and then carefully removed the Post It note BEFORE stamping the sentiment onto the Night of Navy cardstock and heat embossing it.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card and the final AWH Heart of Christmas blog hop for 2024!
The challenge for Day 21 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is “First Snowflake”.
I’ve used my favourite Christmas stamp set, Yuletide Village, the Frosted Forest dies and the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder to create this winter village scene.
The stamped images have been coloured using Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends before being fussy cut with Paper Snips.
The gorgeous “Let it Snow” sentiment is from the Sophisticated Sled Stamp Set.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card.
The challenge for Day 20 of the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge is a tricky one: “Ugly Sweater”.
I don’t own a sweater stamp and I live in Australia where it is hot at Christmas time so I decided to make an “Ugly Christmas rashies” card instead!
A rashie is our slang word for a rash vest, a swimming top we wear to protect our skin from the sun or from the rash you get when riding a surfboard. And yes we do wear “ugly rashies” on the beach at Christmas time!
To make my rash vests I used the Cutest Onesie Stamp Set and drew a line across the bottom of the stamp before fussy cutting them out with paper snips.
I then stamped the rashies with stamps from the Snowy Wonder Stamp set and coloured them in using Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends.
The letters are die cut using the Mini Alphabet dies. These are great for when you want to make your own sentiment.
I’ll be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card.
