28 May, 202527 May, 2025 craftwithkate

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours. For the first 5 weeks we showcase the new 2025-2027 In Colors and then continue with all the remaining colours in alphabetical order.

Have you browsed the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue yet and created your shopping list?

Week 4 – Strawberry Slush

These handmade cards feature @stampinupofficial products; Coneflower Celebrations Bundle. I am thrilled that Strawberry Slush has returned to the SU colours. It’s a gorgeous bright pink that goes with every other colour in the range.

Card 1 – features the dies in the bundle. The petals have been ink blended with blending brushes and Strawberry Slush ink. Other cardstock used; Thick Basic White, Early Espresso and Summer Splash. The cardbase is dry embossed with the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder. A Strawberry Slush Blends Marker was used to splatter ink onto the background.

Card 2 – features the stamps in the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set. The cardbase has some white diecut circular strips adhered to add some interest. Remember to add Adhesive Sheets to the back of your white cardstock to make it easier than using messy glue. The stem and leaves are stamped and dicut in Summer Splash. The Faux Linen Ribbon is cut in half lengthwise and added behind the sentiment. How cute is the Tiny Bee Trinket?!!

Close up of the flower – I used a stamping platform to ink up the stamp, starting with the top in Darling Duckling, then used the Timid Tiger Stampin’ Write Marker to add some flicking strokes round the base before stamping onto the Basic White card. Then ink the petals in Strawberry Slush ink and stamp. I used Blends Combo Markers; Darling Duckling, Bubble Bath and Strawberry slush to fill the image. A black Journalling Pen and White Jello Pen adding the feature dots.

Welcome to the Colour Creations InstaHop. You can follow us on Instagram starting @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours. For the first 5 weeks we showcase the new 2025-2027 In Colors and then continue with all the remaining colours in alphabetical order.

Have you browsed the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue yet and created your shopping list?

Week 2 – Darling Duckling

I have two cards today, a Mother’s Day card and a Sympathy card, both using products from the @stampinupofficial Floral Impressions Suite Collection.

Card 1 – Mother’s Day card
This handmade Mother’s Day card features; Impressions Abloom Bundle, Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper (DSP) and two Euphemera Packs, Foiled Frames & Labels and the Greetings for All Mix & Match. These diecut greetings are just brilliant for quick additions to your cards.

The designer papers is from the same pack and the flowers are stamped in Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger with the Secret Sea centres. The leaves are diecut in White and Garden Green ink blended on using Blending Brushes.

You can see that gorgeous gold foiling on this circle, it’s just so lush!

These 2025-2027 In Color™ Flat Pearls are stunning too and must have if you haven’t already got them! A White Baker’s Twine bow is added on a Glue Dot.

Card 2 – Sympathy Card
This is known as the Faux Camera Shutter technique made with a piece of 6″ x 6″ DSP (free tutorial here).

I started with a Darling Duckling cardbase with a piece of Basic White which has been dry embossed with the Mini Corrugated EF. I used my Darling Duckling Marker to splatter some fine ink onto the card. The Faux Camera Shutter is matted onto a piece of Garden Green cardstock, then adhered to the card. Some flowers and leaves are die cut in Darling Duckling, Garden Green, Pecan Pie and Timid Tiger cardstock and adhered to the card. The banner at the bottom was an offcut from creating the faux shutter!

Not sure if you can see the ink splatter on the corrugated card? It just adds a little rustic charm.

The sentiment is from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Euphemera Pack and added on Dimensionals. Some of the same flat pearls were used on this card also.

on the inside, I added two more of those offcuts to a Basic White insert.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Secret Sea inspiration.

Wild Wheat: Peekaboo Arches Fun Fold card with Storybook Moments

30 April, 202529 April, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 51 – Wild Wheat

This is the final colour in the Stampin’ Up! Collection. Next week we will start from the beginning of the alphabet, so please join me next Wednesday, but in the meantime, enjoy my Wild Wheat project.

This handmade card is a fun fold card using my favourite Everyday Arches dies and the Storybook Moments Suite Collection.

These gorgeous Beatrix Potter inspired products remind me of all the storybooks read to me as a child, they were my favourite, and I read them to my girls when they were little. I love how the front of the card has the arched window (remember Play School on ABC TV?!).

As you open up the card you are wow’d with more details and the die cut elements from the Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.

The Storybook Friends and Storybook Garden Patch bundles are stamped, coloured and diecut and work perfectly with the patterned paper & more!

Close up of the Peter Rabbit image coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers and the Colour Lifter dotted on to create the fur. It is so cute?!!!

on the back is where you write your message to the recipient!

I was inspired by Dawn Griffiths at The Glitter Pit (click for tutorial).

Smoky Slate: Z Fold card with Everyday Arches and Beautiful Butterflies

16 April, 20257 April, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 49 – Smoky Slate

This handmade card features a Smoky Slate card base measuring 29.7cm x 10.5cm, scored at 9.9cm & 19.8cm and folded in three and dry embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing folder. The Everyday Arches dies are used to die cut 3 x Bubble Bath arches, 3 x Smoky Slate arches and 3 x Basic White arches.

The large butterfly die is cut in the three colours and glued together in the centre. The body is die cut in Basic Black card. Two of the Basic White arches are stamped with Versamark ink, White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. A Blending Brush with Bubble Bath ink is blended over the butterflies to reveal the magic! This is known as the Emboss Resist Technique.

I also took the Smoky Slate and Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers and gently placed the larger tip inside the lid and carefully flicked ink onto the White arches to get the splatters.

When assembling the card, the Bubble Bath arches are glued on first to the card base, then a piece of gold Open Weave Trim across the card length. The White and Slate arches are glued together and then onto the card.

The sentiment is also heat embossed with White Wow Emboss Powder and added on Mini Dimensionals. Some sequins were added to the centre of the butterfly and around the card.

The centre panel is splattered with Blends Markers and embellishments around the edges. This is the panel for writing a message. Thes smaller butterflies were die cut from Bsic White card that I splattered with the Blends Markers before die cutting. Then added the body in Basic Black card.

The last panel is the same as the front panel with emboss resist and blending, and some more die cut butterflies and sequins added.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Soft Sea Foam.

The lobster is fussy cut from a sheet of the DSP and attached to a white die cut (Everyday Arches dies) with Dimensionals. I used my Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Marker to add some splatters to the white arch. Some pearls were added, as you always need some extra embellishments.

Poppy Parade: Mixed Florals

12 March, 202510 March, 2025 craftwithkate

Week 44 – Poppy Parade

Today we are using the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack, the Greetings for All Memories & More Euphemera Pack and the Mixed Florals Bundle.

Card 1 – Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack and the Greetings for All Memories & More Euphemera Pack for a quick sentiment.

On a Thick Basic White cardbase, I’ve used one of the Mixed Media Florals M&M cards as my background instantly creating a frame. The white frame is die cut using two of the nesting Textured Notes dies and this is added on Dimensionals for some added depth.

The image is stamped in Black Memento ink and coloured using Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers. Die cut using the coordinating dies and glued to the white frame.

The sentiment is also glued to the frame. They are brilliant to add to your cards, especially if you are time poor and need quick sentiments. Some Tinsel Gems were added to finish it off!

Card 2 – is a stepped up verion with the other main image in the Mixed Florals bundle. Adding some On the Go DSP (right) & 2024-26 In Color™ DSP (left) with the stamped/die cut image on top on Dimensionals. I also added the white diecut behind for added interest. Using Stampin’ Blends Combo markers in Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade, Summer Splash & Shy Shamrock to colour it.

I decided to stamp the image again and fussy cut the tulips and oloured them again and added them on top with a Dimensional. Some stamped/coloured/diecut ladybugs were added for cuteness. The sentiment [Beautiful Butterflies] is stamped and fussy cut with a White Ribbon bow attached behind then added to the card on more Dimensionals. I used a retired corner rounder punch for the corners. Some 2024-26 In Color™ Resin Dots are added to finish.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Pretty Peacock.

Mossy Meadow: Storybook Friends with Pick a Season

22 January, 202521 January, 2025 craftwithkate

It’s with a sad heart that I inform you, effective immediately, we are no longer continuing with our Art with Heart Colour Creations blog hop for the time being. However, I will still continue to share my projects with you each week, as it is such a great way of getting out of my comfort zone and experimenting with all the colours in the Stampin’ Up! collections, especially those we struggle to use.

So, in saying that, here I am with our next colour, Mossy Meadow!

Week 37 – Mossy Meadow

Today the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper features with the Everyday Arches dies. You may be wondering where the arches are, but they have been turned into an oval! To do this, run the die through your die cutting machine from the arched end first, but stop when you get 2/3rds of the way along the die and rewind. Remove the die and turn it 180º and line up with the little dots so the die will then cut the other end through your machine, but remember to stop and rewind so it doesn’t cut all the way through. Repeat this with the die one size larger with Mossy Meadow card to create the matt layer.

Stamp the mound image (Storybook Friends stamp set) and colour with your Water Painter and inkpads (Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral) . Stamp your sentiment and add two of the pre-printed diecut images from the paper pack!

On the inside I used the negative space from the oval die cut to add some ink blending for the panel to write my sentiment. Some more stamping and a a strip of the patterned paper as used on the front of the card!

Storybook Friends stamp set added a cute extra touch to go with the Pick a Season stamp set (free with a $100+ order during Saleabration). I stamped the small house image in the background of my card base, layered a strip of patterned paper across the centre. The oval is created the same way as explained above with the Everyday Arches dies before stamping the tree & grass (Pecan Pie, Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral). The fence and bunny are stamped in Pecan Pie, the bunny coloured with Blends Combo Markers (Light SU900, Medium SU500 & SU600).

Some Gold Twisted Thread is wrapped around and tied in a knot. This panel is added on Dimensionals and a White WOW heat embossed sentiment (Simply Said), die cut (Happy Little Things dies) and glued on. Three Gold Low Profile Dots are added below.
