Can you see the Wink of Stella shimmering on the 50?!!! (it’s hard to see in the photo, but sdo pretty in real life). I put some Foam Adhesive Sheet onto some Petunia Pop card and ran it through my die cutting machine with the 50 from the Alphabet a la Mode dies.

The Basic Beige Bordered Ribbon is super soft and easy to tie a bow, added with Glue Dots.

Shy Shamrock: Flowers of Beauty Watercolour Resist cards

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 4 – Shy Shamrock

2024-2026 IN COLORS

Today I feature the Watercolour Resist Technique with the Flowers of Love stamp set. I had a pack of Basic White Notecards and Envelopes sitting on my desk and so I started with dry embossing the front of the card and the flap of the envelope with the Eyelet 3D TIEF. I took a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolour paper (9.4 x 5.6cm) and stamped the little flower [Flowers of Beauty] with Versamark ink. Then added White Emboss Powder and melted it with my Heat Tool. Next I created a watercolour wash with my Water Painters and some ink squished onto an acrylic block to use as my palette. I used my Heat Tool to quicken the drying process, before adding a little extra colour to each of the flower petals. This was mounted to a piece of Shy Shamrock cardstock (9.8 x 6cm). and glued to the card front. The sentiment [Simply Said] was also heat embossed and trimmed with Paper Snips and added on Dimensionals. Some In Color™ Shimmer Gems were added to the centre of each flower.

and whilst I was at it, I created one in each of the new 2024-2026 In Colors™. These will become a lovely pack of cards to give as a gift!

I just love all these bright tones that add extra pizzazz to the existing SU collections. Which one is your favourite?

Pretty in Pink: Faux Pinwheel card

2024-25 blog header

I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 3 – Pretty in Pink

2024-2026 IN COLORS

Today I feature the Faux Pinwheel design with the gorgeous Unbounded Beauty DSP. The patterns are so beautiful and I wanted to feature two of them here. The background Pretty in Pink layer is embossed with the Eyelet 3D Impressions Folder then splattered with some Petunia Pop Blends Marker, by placing the tip inside the lid and gently flicking it onto the card.

faux pinwheel card with Unbounded Beauty DSP for Pretty in Pink Colour Creations blog hop by Kate Morgan, Stampin Up Australia 2024

The pinwheel is created using two squares of 7cm x 7cm Summer Splash card and eight pieces of DSP 3cm x 3cm. The ‘celebrate’ is Gold Foil and created using the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder. This is a folder and the die which sits inside the folder and cuts the sentiments at the same time when run through the Cut & Emboss Machine.

The colour of this image is not quite right, it’s looking more purple as the daylight was disappearing when I photographed it, but you can see the detail up close. The Paper Butterfly Accents are added behind the sentiment and adhered on dimensionals, so it gives a little height. Some 2024-2026 In Color™ Shimmer Gems are added too!

On the inside, some more DSP was placed behind a white panel and butterfly for the written message.

Week 2 – Petunia Pop

2024-2026 IN COLORS

Today I feature the Leaf Collection stamp again – I really am loving thisbackground stamp and here it is in Petunia Pop and Pretty in Pink. The sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set, is stamped onto a die cut from the Unbounded Love dies.

The inside is decorated the same as the envelope, so the design flows across all elements.

This next card is part of a set of 3 using the One Sheet Wonder (OSW) Technique. By taking one piece of 6×6 In Color Designer Series Paper, cut it into 4 equal squares, the one of these cut it into 3 x 1″ strips. Place a square onto Basic White card (9 x 12cm) then leave a gap and place the 1″ strip (reverse side of pattern) with equal borders at the bottom. The 1.5cm wide sentiment strip covers the gap between the papers. I then added another matt layer of Petunia Pop card then onto a Thick Basic White card base.

The sentiment is from the Country Flowers stamp set and the image is from the Attention Shoppers stamp set. This is coloued using Bubble Bath, Petunia Pop & Soft Sky Blends Combo Markers and thed flowers have Wink of Stella on them. I finished off with a Linen Thread bow and some Shimmer Gems.
