Cherry Cobbler: Flowerpot Easel card

13 August, 202513 August, 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 in alphabetical order.

Week 15 – Cherry Cobbler

This handmade card features the Coneflower Celebrations Bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies) and the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP).

This is the card sitting for display.

Here you can see how the card sits flat to fit into an envelope. You can also see close up of the Damask Designs Embossing Folder on the flowerpot. The flower itself is Cherry Cobbler with a Basic White layer that has been gently inked using a Blending Brush. The top is Pecan Pie. Wink of Stella is added over the ink blending for sparkle.

The same piece of doubled sided patterned paper is used. The A side with the photographic rattan texture side and the ‘B’ side/reverse, is the more subdued linen texture. I added some stamped splatter to this in Pecan Pie ink with the same cardstock as matt layers. The strip across the centre is added on Dimensionals, so that the flowerpot sits behind it to display. The butterfly is stamped in Pecan Pie and coloured using Stampin’ Write Markers; Cherry Cobbler, Fresh Freesia and Pecan Pie.

Opening the above layer, is the hidden panel for writing your message. The same butterfly was stamped in the bottom corner with Versamark ink, White WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. Some light ink blending was then added and a sentiment stamped next to it in Cherry Cobbler ink.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Coastal Cabana inspiration.

Strawberry Slush Coneflower Celebrations Birthdy cards

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.

Close up of the ink blending

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.
