Colour Creations Blog Hop week 47 - So Saffron Queen Bee

Hello stampers, I'm back with week 47 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the wonderful Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week we are up to So Saffron, which means there are only a few weeks to go before we have completed the Stampin' Up! colour range.

For tonight's card I have used the Queen Bee Bundle. The bee and floral spray were stamped in Basic Gray ink and coloured with Blends Markers in So Saffron, Petal Pink and Old Olive.

The background has been textured with the Stitched Greenery Die and the hexagon holes were cut with the Beautiful Shapes Dies. The flowers shapes were cut from Petal Pink and So Saffron card stock and the leaves from Old Olive card stock.

The greeting is stamped on So Saffron card stock. The final embellishment is a pearl heart that has been coloured with Petal Pink Blends Marker. The centre of the flowers are Basic Pearl Jewels.

Unfortunately most of the products I used to make this card are going to be retired soon as they are not continuing to the 2023-2024 Catalogue. These products are on the Last Chance Products List and are only available until sold out.

Copies of the lists are available below.

Colour Creations Blog Hop - week 44 So Saffron

It's time for week 44 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. This week we are featuring So Saffron, which is a beautiful, buttery yellow from the Subtles Colour Family.

For this week's card I have used the Flowering Tulips Bundle, which includes stamped tulips and die cut 3D tulips. As you can see I have used the dies to make 3D tulips.

I cut one of each of the different tulips from So Saffron card stock. The three different flowers use 7 different dies, as pictured below.

To add a bit more colour to these flowers I used a blending Brush to gently apply a small amount of Polished Pink ink to the base of the petals. Depending on how the petals folded together some of the ink needed to be applied to the reverse side of the pieces.

Similarly, to make the stems and leaves I cut three stems and three leaves from Pear Pizzazz card stock and them used another Blending Brush to apply Pear Pizzazz ink to the base of the leaves and stems.

The flowers are mounted on Basic White card stock that was cut with one of the Scalloped Contour Dies. This piece was then mounted on a piece of So Saffron DSP from the Subtles 6" X 6" pack.

This shows a close up of the shading on the petals.

While I had all of the dies out I continued to explore with different coloured flowers.

This second card features flowers in Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Calypso Coral. The Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral flowers were shaded with Polished Pink and the Fresh Freesia flower was shaded with Rich Razzleberry.

These flowers were mounted on a Daffodil Delight DSP card front.

Now it's time to see what the very talented Theresa Gerrard has to share with us this week.

Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase week 48 - So Saffron

Today the Art With Heart Colour Creations Showcase is featuring So Saffron. So Saffron is a lovely soft yellow that belongs in our Subtles Colour family. I pulled out So Saffron to use with the Pansy Patch bundle. I paired So Saffron with Misty Moonlight and our two new greens, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen.

The flowers are a combination of So Saffron, Misty Moonlight and Daffodil Delight. The leaves are stamped in Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. All of the pieces were cut out using the Pansy Dies.
