Welcome to week thirty six 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 Pear Pizzazz from the Subtle family.
Today I’ve gone a bit rogue and created a project that uses not only Pear Pizzazz, but eight other colours too: Balmy Blue, Basic Black, Blushing Bride, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Gray Granite and Soft Suede!
So why have I used so many colours for my project this week? One of the free SALE-a-bration items you can redeem for a $90 spend until 28th February 2023 is the Day at the Farm DSP and I’ve used this DSP to create a children’s counting book.
Here’s a short one-minute video to show you what the counting book looks like.
And here’s a closer look at each page.
In addition to the Day At The Farm DSP I’ve used the On the Farm Stamp and Dies (available as the On the Farm bundle), the Alphabest stamp set and the Alphabet a la Mode dies. The On the Farm Dies die cut out many of the images in the Day At The Farm DSP.
The counting book is made using envelopes – it’s a quick and easy alternative to making a chipboard album with a paper hinge and you don’t need a scoring board.
I’ve also created this 24 minute video on my YouTube channel that shows you how I made each page of this counting book and takes you through the process of making an envelope album, step by step.
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!
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 these products in my Stampin’ Up! Online Store once they are available to purchase tomorrow morning.
We’ll be back next Wednesday January 25 with projects showcasing another one of the Subtles, Petal Pink.
I hope you can join us then.

You are so welcome!
Thank you for such clear instructions and for sharing such a fabulous project.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful project, I am in the process of making one for my nephew who is autistic. If you don’t mind, I’m going to make others in different stamps and other animals to share as well, all will be shared with your name in credit. You are very talented. So awesome.
Hi Shelly, thank you so much. I don’t mind at all if you CASE this project.
Hi Cathy thank you so much for sharing your amazing project. Can you share how you assembled the book. I would love to make one for my grand kids. Thank you again. Patti
Hi Patti, If you watch the longer 24 minute video I show the assembly of the book towards the end of the video.
Hi Cathy. Where can I find the longer video link. Ty so much Patti
Hi Cathy. I found the video. Thank you. ? How many envelops did you use and what size. ?
Hi Patti,
They are the Stampin’ Up! C6 Basic white envelopes. I used 11 envelopes.
Fantastic!! Thanks so much for the video that walks us through all of the decorating in the making of the book. Incredibly instructional, and I’m looking forward to making this book for my great-nieces and nephews!
You’re very welcome, Susan!
I love this counting book! What a wonderful labor of love! What size envelopes did you use for the book?
Hi Sandy, I just used the Stampin’ Up! item number 159235, C6 Envelopes.
I wish we could get C6 envelopes in the USA from Stampin up.
Love this project though. I’m struggling to get the envelopes even. I’ve ruined 50 already. Any tips for me?
Can you e-mail any other suggestions?
Thanks again.

Wow oh wow. What an amazing project. I so love your counting book. I’m in awe of the way you compiled this book. You have used this DSP brilliantly. So, so clever. Xxx
OMG, what an incredible project! Your counting book is awesome. What a treasure!
What an amazing project Cathy! Love how all the pages coordinate together and the use of both alphabet stamp and dies. Brilliant videos too!
Brilliant! There is so much work that has gone into this book, Cathy, but so worth it. I love how you have used this free SAB paper to create all the scenes. Look at you creating a video too. A real WOW project. Thanks for sharing!
Oh! The teacher in me is going nuts for this project! Love love love!
