This week’s Colour Creations Blog Hop is featuring my favourite of all the Stampin’ Up! colours, Blackberry Bliss. My card this week features the Gorgeously Made Dies, combined with the Aspen Tree Dies.
I have used the Foursquare Decorative Masks to blend a very light layer of Blackberry Bliss ink onto the background, and have also used the blender brushes to colour the leaves from the Aspen Tree Dies, using Blackberry Bliss, Real Red and Mossy Meadow inks.
Next on our Blog Hop is the very talented Tina Gillespie.

This week in our Colour Creations Blog Hop we are featuring the beautiful pale pink, Bubble Bath.
I have used some of the Bright and Beautiful Designer Series Paper for my background, a gorgeous ombre look, adhered to a thick Basic White cardbase. The reverse side of this sheet of DSP has bubbles in pink and if you look closely at the top where the very pale pink and white areas are, you can just see the bubbles from the reverse side – not intentional on my part, but I like the added dimension.
Over the Designer Series Paper, I have used various elements from the Gorgeously Made Dies, ( which I may be a little obsessed with at present), in Smoky Slate and Night of Navy, as well as Bubble Bath. The sentiment is from the Wildlife Wonder stamp set, stamped in Night of Navy ink.

If you are in Australia and are interested in purchasing any of the items used in the project, you can click here to go straight to my online store, or click the items listed below.
This week our featured colour is Pebbled Path, which is another very versatile neutral, and I have used it to create a masculine card.
In the background I have used the Timber Embossing Folder, I thought it looked a little like ripples of water.
I have used the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper, and fussy cut the fish from the DSP. If you know me well, you would know that I can not stand the thought of any animal being hurt, so my little fish were originally going to be strung up, but I couldn’t cope with that, so instead they are all swimming freely in the rather murky coloured water 🙂
Some Linen Thread, a couple of 2023-25 In Color Dots, and the stamped sentiment is from the Wildlife Wonder stamp set. And just one other feature that I have used to give the main part of the card a framed look, is a border of a single scored line which I have done with the Paper Trimmer.

I have three different projects to share with you today, featuring the new In Color Moody Mauve. Who likes it? Who doesn’t? I’m hearing a lot of different opinions on this colour. Personally, I LOVE it!! So here are my projects. The first one is a card that I have made using up some of those scraps of watercolour paper.
I have used some of the scraps of watercolour paper and coloured it with some Moody Mauve, Wild Wheat and Mossy Meadow ink and a Water Painter, before die cutting them with some of the Meadow Dies. I have also die cut the same in Mossy Meadow cardstock, and then overlaid the flower onto the Mossy Meadow, which gives a slight raised appearance to the flower, but also gives a shadowed effect where you can see the tiniest amount of the dark Mossy Meadow behind the flower.
Next I am going to share with you some paper roses that I have been making. My 17 year old son is displaying some of his wonderful woodturned items at a Wedding Fair this weekend and I was given the opportunity to create some flower displays to complement his items. These roses are going to be part of this display but at this stage are just individual roses, four in Mood Mauve, and one Very Vanilla. (I love Moody Mauve paired with Very Vanilla, simply gorgeous!)
And my last project is another card, this one a slightly different fold to a standard card.
The base of the card is a single layer which doesn’t open, with the opening card attached in front.
I have used some Blackberry Bliss for the base of this card to add some depth of colour.
I do hope that I have managed to help you to love Moody Mauve a little better, but if you need some more inspiration, keep on hopping along to Rachel Palmieri.

This week’s Art With Heart Team blog hop features the new In Color, Copper Clay, another versatile colour, which I have combined with several of the other new In Colors for my project today.
I have made a standard Z Fold Card, with some Copper Clay cardstock as my large piece at the back, and Basic White cardstock for the front Z. And I have featured the adorable Happy Hedgehogs stamp set for my card today.
For those of us who a financially challenged in the current climate, along with a colour reset plus a new catalogue, brings the question of how to make the most of the new colours without breaking the bank, and I have chosen to buy the pack of Stampin’ Write markers, and use these to colour the images.
The trees have been coloured with Copper Clay for the trunk and branches, Old Olive for the leaves, Moody Mauve for the flowers and Wild Wheat for the buds. And the bird is coloured with Pebbled Path.
I hope my card today makes you smile, I just love these gorgeous little hedgehogs, with their friends.
And for some more inspiration, it’s time to hop along to see what Tina Gillespie has made using Copper Clay.

Boho Blue is one of my favourite of the new Stampin’ Up! In Colors, and what better way to showcase it than to take part in a Blog Hop, with other members of the Art With Heart team.
My card features the Sending Smiles stamp set which I have coloured using Boho Blue for the flowers, Old Olive for the leaves and the new Wild Wheat for the flower centres. Add some Night of Navy as a dark contrast and some of my favourite Fresh Freesia as a pop of different colour. And I decided it was time to have a go at making one of the Vase Fun Fold cards, so here is what’s on the inside.
A vase of gorgeous Boho Blue and Fresh Freesia flowers!
As you can see from the first image, the card folds flat for sending, and the Vase pops out using a simple but clever mechanism.
And now it’s time to continue hopping along to the next inspiring Boho Blue project with Di Furniss. We enjoy your comments so please leave us some love along the way.

This week I have combined the Detailed Bells Dies with the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper. I love this paper, and it is so versatile, it doesn’t have to be used just for Christmas. But I have, I’ve made two Christmas cards with this combination.
Did you notice, there’s no stamping on these cards?
I have used the gorgeous Classic Weave Ribbon, instead of stamping.
To see all of the other Christmas inspiration, make sure you hop over the Judy’s blog where you can find links to everyone who is taking part.
Tonight the Art with Heart team are sharing amazing projects featuring Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper, most of which is in the current promotions where you can buy 3 packs of Designer Series Paper and receive a pack for free! Only available until the 30th of September.
All three of my cards today, feature the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, and very little stamping.
The birds and flowers on my cards have all been cut from the DSP.
For my second card, I have used some of the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP, and overlaid a piece of embossed Vellum, making the DSP more subtle. Again, the bird and flowers were cut from the Bird Ballad DSP.
And my third card is one I have shared before in a previous post, but I thought I would go nicely as a set with these two.
This is a masculine card which combines the fussy cut bird from the Bird Ballad DSP, with some of the woodgrain and music note DSP from the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Don’t forget, the fantastic promotion is only available until the 30th September 2019.
For more information about the promotion, contact any of the ladies on the blog hop and we will be happy to help you.
