Welcome to week four of our Art With Heart 2025-26 Colour Creations Insta hop!
For the first five weeks of our AWH Colour Creations Insta Hop we are introducing the five new 2025-26 In Colors in alphabetical order and this week we are showcasing Strawberry Slush.
Here’s a graphic I created to show how Strawberry Slush compares to the other pinks in the Stampin’ Up! range.
I’ve CASED the design of my card from a stunning Pretty Peacock card I saw created by Kim Gibbons Fee (a UK Stampin’ Up! demonstrator) in the Crafty Carrot Co Facebook group.
I started with a Strawberry Slush card base and a layer of Basic White cardstock embossed with the Cute Crochet embossing folder (currently on sale in the last chance section of the store) as I don’t have the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folders included in the Celebratory Sips Suite.
I’ve used a large blending brush to apply a soft layer of Old Olive ink to the embossed white cardstock layer.
The two embossed glasses were created using the Cheers & Sips Dies to die cut and emboss water coloured images from the Celebratory Sips 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper.
This die set includes the cutest little embossing die to give the effect of a cut crystal glass!
After die cutting and embossing the two glasses from the DSP I decided they needed an outline so I hand drew around each glass using one of the new Black .04 Stampin’ Journalling Pens.
The strawberry and foliage stamps are from the Cheers & Sips stamp set, stamped in Memento Ink and coloured using Strawberry Slush and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.
Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems add a touch of sparkle.
The tiny flowers are fussy cut from another sheet of the Celebratory Sips 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper.
Two different stamps from the Cheers & Sips Stamp Set were white heat embossed on Strawberry Slush cardstock to create the “Cheers It’s Your Day!” sentiment.
