Welcome to week twenty three 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 Gorgeous Grape from the brights family.
The Hues of Happiness DSP has a rainbow of colours, including Gorgeous Grape. For my cards today my colour scheme includes some of the colours in this DSP.

One of my favourite things about the Hues of Happiness DSP is that many of the images can be die cut out using the Happiness Abounds dies. For both my cards, the only stamping is the sentiment – the DSP really does all the hard work for me!
Card one is a horizontal card that has a strip of one of the Hues of Happiness DSP patterns as well as a Gorgeous Grape flower cut from another sheet of the DSP.
Gorgeous Grape and Pool Party dots from the Glossy Dots Assortment are the only embellishments needed with this stunning Designer Series Paper.
Card two has a layer of Gorgeous Grape DSP peeking through the die cut Basic White layer, die cut with the largest Happiness Abounds Die.
I’ve layered die cut flowers from the DSP in Gorgeous Grape, Pool Party/Coastal Cabana and Fresh Freesia, along with Granny Apple Green leaves.
The strip of black and white striped DSP is from the the Perfectly Pencilled DSP.
For both cards I’ve used the “happy birthday” sentiment from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set.
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Tina Gillespie – I can’t wait to see what Tina has made this week!

Both very gorgeous cards my dear friend! So lovely. The DSP is beautiful and the first card with the die cut out in the Basic White is a lovely added element! Wonderful cards!
Two wonderful cards Cathy, Great ways to incorporate DSP into cards a little differently.
Both beautiful cards, Cathy. I love these papers, especially the amazing colours. Your die cut images are a great addition. That background die with the Gorgeous Grape behind, is so pretty. Love them both equally x
Lovely Cathy, I so love this DSP and it works so well.
Stunning cards Cathy. The gorgeous bright die cut flowers are the shining stars against the white space on your cards. Love the striped DSP strip on the second card.
Lovely cards, Cath … and “snap” on the sentiment and glossy dots! I love how you’ve used the background lattice-y die, and this gorgeous DSP. So pretty. x
I love how you’ve used the flowers from this DSP, beautiful cards Cathy
