Welcome to week 38 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Pumpkin Pie from the Regals family.
Here in Australia, SALE-a-bration has been extended to 16th March, so I decided to create a Pumpkin Pie card that uses two of the FREE stamp sets – Driving By and Island Vibes – to create a happy tropical card.
I was also inspired by Tina Gillespie’s use of the long die from the Suit and Tie Dies to create a road for her Poppy Parade card last week, so I decided to CASE her “road” for my Pumpkin Pie card.
Can you see the lovely two-toned green on the palm stamp from Island Vibes? That’s created using the “kissing technique”. I inked up my stamp with Granny Apple Green ink before using a sponge dauber to add a few Bermuda Bay highlights. It’s such an easy way to add extra colour and interest to your stamps.
I couldn’t resist adding a another two orange combis to the inside of the card either and a sentiment from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set. Gotta love an orange combi van!
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Rachel Palmieri – I can’t wait to see what Rachel has made this week!
If at any time you find a broken link, you can find the complete list of all participants below.
Catherine Proctor – you are here!
If you live in Australia, you can find and purchase all these products in my Stampin’ Up! Online Store.
We will be back to showcase Real Red on February March 9.
Wherever you are in the world, stay safe, stay calm … and keep on crafting xxx

Love your card Cathy! Great CASE of Tina’s road and loved the stamped combi’s inside.
Aww, I’m so honoured that you were inspired by me! Your card is wonderful – the coloured leaves look fabulous.
Oh wow Cathy, Your tropical Combi van card is so delightful. Love the colouring of the leaves, the way you created the roads and your colouring of the combi vans. Xxx
What a great way to feature Pumpkin Pie, those combis are just too cool. Like with Tina that idea for the road is nifty.
What a fabulous combo of stamps Cathy! Love the way you set out the front, and the additional combis on the inside add that little extra.
Such a cool card, Cathy. Love the combi vans, the roads and the colouring of the palms is wonderful. I love a tropical vibe card!!!
Great summer vibes on your card Cathy and gorgeous two toned palms together with the bright combi van. Love it!
This card definitely gives off tropical, summery, vibes Cathy! Love those orange Combis; what a great way to showcase Pumpkin Pie. The variation of colour in the leaves is beautiful, too. Great card. 🙂
Catherine, your card is very cute. An old friend of my dad’s has an orange combi van and my dad had a white one many years ago. I used to love driving it around! I love the two tone coloured palm leaves, and your road looks great!
