Welcome back to our Colour Creations Showcase as we continue our showcase of over 50 beautiful Stampin’ Up! colours in alpha order.
This week we are showcasing Purple Posy, a soon to be retired pale purple from Stampin’ Up’s 2019-21 InColour collection.
Purple Posy is a feminine and slightly old fashioned (in a good way!) colour that reminds me of my Nana and so I decided to make a card that I think she would have liked to receive. I paired Purple Posy with all neutrals: Crumb Cake, Basic Black and Basic White.
Because there is no Purple Posy stamp pad, I used a floral stamp set that could be coloured using Purple Posy Stampin Blends – Bloom & Grow with its matching Budding Blooms dies.
I could have used virtually any embossing folder on the Basic White card stock layer but decided on the Dainty Diamonds, again with my Nana in mind.
I love this scalloped linen ribbon – it was the Crumb Cake in the centre of this ribbon that inspired me to add Crumb Cake to my colour combination, both in the layer behind the sentiment and the colouring of the leaves.
Because there isn’t a “Happy Birthday” sentiment in the Bloom & Grow stamp set I used the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from Blossoms in Bloom instead.
My friend Tina Gillespie ALWAYS stamps the insides of her cards and she has inspired me to try to remember to do the same too …
I can’t wait to see what everyone else has created with Purple Posy today!

I love your card and how the colour reminds you of your Nana and how you have also used other touches that echo of her.
I love your card Cathy, and I too am reminded of my grandma with Purple Posy! I am sure she would have loved this card.
Gorgeous card Cathy, I’m not surprised you went with Crumb Cake in your mix of colours! Your Nana would have been proud you thought of her xxx
This is a really sweet card Catherine. I love the look of Crumb Cake with Purple Posy, the ribbon is the perfect embellishment and I love the sentiment centred over the top of it.
Beautiful card Cathy, and using my favourite flower stamp. Love your mix of colours.
Beautiful card Catherine,
I love your card Cathy, especially being inspired by your Nana. I am sure she would have been delighted with it. Purple Posy with Crumb Cake is gorgeous together. Love it all. xxx
Lovely colours Catherine and love how the ribbon inspired your choices. That is such a pretty stamp set and colouring.
Beautiful card Cathy, lovely colour combo . . . And I soooo love that ribbon!
This is so beautiful, Cathy, and I love that you had your Nana in mind when creating it. I also love that you, too, were inspired by the sweet ribbon to include Crumb Cake on your card. 🙂
Woo Hoo! I’m on a mission to get everyone to stamp the insides of their cards, so yay, that you’ve stamped yours. Your card is beautiful – I love that the ribbon inspired your colour choices.
Haha snap! I’ve not used the stamp set until tonight but I know it won’t be the last. It’s so nice to colour. Love that embossing folder too
