Welcome to week 30 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Mossy Meadow, a very dark green from the Neutrals family.
Yesterday the new 2022 January to June Mini Catalogue and the Sale-a-bration catalogue launched and so I decided to share with you two cards made using a gorgeous bundle in the SALE-a-bration catalogue – the Friendly Hello bundle. This bundle is FREE with any Stampin’ Up purchase of $180 or more.
Some images from the stamp set are designed to be stamped directly onto the paper for a unique look you’ll love. I would normally do this in Basic Black but as we are showcasing Mossy Meadow tonight I decided to try it instead and I’m thrilled at how it looks against the Granny Apple Green. You can see in this photo below how the paper looks both before and after it is stamped.
My first card uses the floral Granny Apple Green DSP, stamped in Mossy Meadow with the large double flower stamp and the open leaf stamp.
Behind the layered sentiment I’ve added a strip of the the new White 3/4″ Frayed Ribbon from the January-June Mini Catalogue – this ribbon has a soft, slightly fuzzy feel and it is a great way to add instant texture.
I also stamped the large double flower in Mossy Meadow onto a scrap of Whisper White, colouring it with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends and fussy cutting it into two – one for the front of the card and one for the inside.
My second card uses the “leaf frond branch” stamp and DSP and the “bird on a branch” stamp.
The same Scalloped Contours Dies were used for the sentiment, just positioned in a different way.
Do you have a favourite card? As I’m always a sucker for a bird on a card, there’s not prizes for guessing which one is my favourite!

Your cards are gorgeous Catherine, I just love the combination of MM and GAG. I am more excited to receive my Sale-a ration freebie bundle now that I’ve seen these beautiful cards. Love them both.
What a clever idea to stamp the Mossy Meadow images on to the DSP, great effect. Both cards are amazing
Both fabulous, love the stamped DSP, especially in Mossy Meadow. The way you’ve varied the label placement is neat, I really like that.
I do love green, and these two greens together work so beautifully! Both of your cards are gorgeous, Cathy. I hadn’t thought to stamp the leafy image in any colour other than black (that’s not very creative of me, is it?!) – but how good does it look in Mossy Meadow??! The bird card is my favourite of the two … I, too, am a sucker for a bird on a card. LOL.
Beautiful cards, Cathy. The bird card is my fave – just gorgeous!
They are both beautiful cards – I can’t pick a favourite! The stamping on the DSP looks amazing – the Mossy Meadow was a great choice of ink colour.
Both cards are really lovely, Cathy. I always forget about stamping directly onto the DSP, but you make them look amazing, as though it was part of it! Your colouring of that bird is just beautiful and I love the two scalloped die cuts layered in different directions.
Lovely cards Cathy using this stamp set with the DSP. Mossy Meadow complements Granny Apple Green so well and I can understand you liking the little bird perched on the floral branch..it also attracted me to this product.
