Stampin' Up! Pretty In Pink

 

Welcome to a Week 3 of the Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. This week we continue our journey through the New In Colours for 2024-26 Stampin' Up!, working in alphabetical order. This week our feature colour is  the lovely Pretty In Pink. A lovely Pink colour that sits between Melon Mambo and Flirty Flamingo on the Stampin' Up! Colour Wheel.

The Country Flowers bundle is a gorgeous new bundle from the Annual Catalogue and the one I have chosen for this week's card. Pretty In Pink has been teamed with Smokey Slate and Old Olive.

I have used Stampin Blends to colour both the floral spray and the bucket that the flowers are arranged in. These have been popped up on Dimensionals onto a piece of White and then Pretty In Pink card that have been die cut using the Spotlight On Nature dies.

The cascading flowers have been die cut using dies from the Country Flowers dies and In Colour Designer Series Paper and the same in Regals. In Colour Shimmer Gems have been added to the flower centres. The gems have a gorgeous glimmer to them.

 The White background card has been embossed using the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and has a narrow edge of Pretty In Pink Bordered ribbon on both top and bottom.

A few Pretty In Pink Adhesive Backed Dappled Dots have also been added to the White card. These dots are gorgeous and look like they have a crackled appearance. 

 

All of this has been mounted onto a piece of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper.

The sentiment, from Simply Said has been White embossed on Pretty In Pink card.

In an endeavour to not end up with a lot of retired Designer Series Paper at the end of the catalogue, I have added more to the inside of the card. It has been die cut using one of the Radiating Stitches dies. 

To cover a bit of a booboo using too much glue, I have added some more die cut flowers and leaves to the top corner. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented Rachel Palmieri. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.

Stampin' Up! Petunia Pop

 

Welcome to a Week 2 of the Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. This week we continue our journey through the New In Colours for 2024-26 Stampin' Up!, working in alphabetical order. This week our feature colour is  the lovely Petunia Pop which is a lovely Violet colour and one of my favourite of the new In Colours.

 

This week, for me, it's all about the gorgeous new Designer Series Paper, Thoughtful Journey, which features, Petunia Pop along with a host of other gorgeous colours such as Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow and lots of others, but for me Petunia Pop stood out in many of the sheets. The paper is a 6" by 6" and one side is gorgeous serene vistas and the other abstract patterns.

In each of my cards I have teamed Petunia Pop with Mossy Meadow and Basic White. Along with featuring the paper I am also featuring another part of the Thoughtful Journey Suite of products, the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and coordinating dies.

For my first card I have chosen the "Triple Layer technique", one I have wanted to try for sometime and I thought the paper was perfect for it. The paper has been die cut using Deckled Rectangle dies and mounted on to Petunia Pop Card. 

The foliage has been either stamped and coloured in Mossy Meadow, or the stamp set coloured with markers and then stamped. Both have been die cut with the corresponding dies. 

The sentiment is also from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and has been stamped in Petunia Pop and die cut once again using a Deckled Rectangle die. Finally a few coloured In Colour Shimmer Gems have been added.

 

For my second card I have featured different piece of the Thoughtful Journey DSP but this time die cut using one of the Radiating Stitiches dies. The base of the card has been embossed using the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder and the sprigs on the left have been die cut using one of the Painted Lavender dies. Once again the sentiment is from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set but this time die cut using one of the Something Fancy dies. 

 

 

I've turned the orientation around for my final card and used a different piece of the Thoughtful Journey DSP. For the stamp in the centre panel I have once again used the Marker to Stamp technique using Petunia Pop and Mossy Meadow. The sprigs have been die cut using White card one of the Thoughtful Wishes dies and then coloured using Stampin Blends. The ribbon is from the new Petal Pink and White Diagonal Trim Combo pack. 

This time the sentiment is from the new Unbounded Love stamp set and has been die cut using a couple of the Unbounded Love dies. This time the embellishments used are Iridescent Pearls. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented Ros Davidson . I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation as Ros loves to use the Colour Coach combinations.

Stampin' Up! Peach Pie

 

Welcome to a new round of the Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. Once again we are very fortunate to have the lovely Cathy Proctor as our host.  Last week the team finished off with Tahitian Tide and now we start all over again.This year we will be starting our journey once again by featuring the new In Colours which will be current for the next 2 years.

Today's blog hop also coincides with the launch of the new Annual Catalogue for 2024-25. Be sure to check out all the new beautiful products.

This week, week 1, we start with one of the In colours, Peach Pie. Stampin'  Up seems to love colour names with the word Pie in them as we now have 3 "Pie" colours.

 Peach Pie as the name would suggest, is a lovely Peachy Colour. For my card this week I have chosen to coordinate Peach Pie with Lemon Lime Twist, White and a hint of Pecan Pie (one of the 3 pies).

 A piece of Peach Pie cardstock has been embossed using one of the new "Big" embossing folders, So Swirly. This embossing folder now allows you to emboss a much larger piece of cardstock compared to the previous ones. 

A piece of the new Country Lace Designer Series Paper has been die cut using one of the larger Perennial Postage dies and the edges sponged using a new addition to the Basics range of colours, Basic Beige.

The floral spray, leaf cut outs, and twig wreath are all from an Online Exclusive bundle, Encircled in Nature. The floral spray has been stamped in Black memento and then coloured using Peach Pie and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin Blends. The leaf cut outs have been die cut using White cardstock and then sponged using Blending Brushes and Lemon Lime Twist ink. The twig wreath has been cut out using Pecan Pie cardstock. 

The sentiment is from the stamp set Perennial Postage and has been stamped in Peach Pie ink onto white cardstock. This has then been die cut using one of the Deckled Circles dies. 

Finally a double bow using Linen Thread has been added to the floral spray as well as a couple of Peach Pie In Colour Shimmer Gems and a couple of Brushed Brass Butterflies.

Another coloured floral spray has been added to the inside of the card along with the sentiment from Hooray for Surprises, stamped in Peach Pie. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented Tina Gillespie. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation. Speaking of which, don't you love our new "next blog button" ?
