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

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 4 – Shy Shamrock

With the release of the new Annual catalogue, we begin our blog hops with the new In Color™ range, followed by the new Basic Beige, then all the other Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order. So today, we have the second new 2024-2026 In Color™, 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?
