Welcome to week thirty-seven of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Orchid Oasis, an 2022–2024 In Color. Whether this is a blue or a purple shade really depends on what colour you put it against. Either way, I think this is a gorgeous colour and it’s one I hope will join the core colour range one day.
My three cards this week all use the brand new Everyday Details bundle from the January–April 2024 Mini Catalogue as well as the versatile Basics 3D Embossing folders from the online exclusives.
Card one uses the criss cross hatched embossing folder and the largest rectangle die from the Everyday Details dies.
Card two features the teacup image, die cut using the second largest circle die from the Everyday Details dies.
I think card three is my favourite as I love the three little blue eggs in the nest and the “bubble circle” embossing of Orchid Oasis card stock layer.
I don’t often use ribbon on my cards but I couldn’t resist adding a strip of black and white gingham ribbon adhered with Tear & Tape Adhesive with a bow attached with an adhesive dot.
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!

Catherine Proctor – you are here!
We’ll be back showcasing Parakeet Party next Wednesday, 31 January. I hope you can join us then.
Wow, not 1 but 3 cards this week, you are on fire. How gorgeous does Orchid Oasis look with this bundle?! I love the gingham ribbon with the black & white sentiments. I don’t think I can choose a favourite, all are fantastic!
A beauuutiful set of cards Cathy. I love your embossed backgrounds with the gorgeously coloured images on the Everyday Details die labels. The gingham ribbon is a special touch. xxx
Lovely cards Cathy, same stamp set but a completely different look with a more bold colour scheme
I’ve been trying to justify purchasing the stamp set to match the Everyday details dies and you may have just shown me how lovely the stamp set is
Such a lovely trio of cards Cathy. Love the showcasing of the three embossing folders and my fave is the last card too. Those eggs are gorgeously coloured. I think the addition of ribbon on your cards ties in nicely with the white embossed sentiments on black.
Cath, one of my favourite things about your cards is the use of the black and white gingham ribbon! I really struggle to use Orchid Oasis, but you’ve showcased it beautifully. Nice way to highlight the gorgeous new dies, and those wonderful Basics 3D embossing folders, too.
