Welcome to the Colour Creations Showcase……the 2020-2021 version. This weekly showcase is brought to you by the Stampin’ Up! Art With Heart Team, Australia.
Week 19: Granny Apple Green
Granny Apple Green is one of the colours in the Stampin’ Up! Brights collection…….and is a bright and happy, medium green. There are several Granny Apple Green products available in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. These include Classic Stampin’ Pad, A4 Cardstock, Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill, Stampin’ Blends and the 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Brights Assortment.
The Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper also features Granny Apple Green. This bright and cheery paper pack features ‘sweeping brushstrokes and beautifully blended colour gradients’ and is perfect for any occasion.
Another gorgeous paper to include Granny Apple Green in its colour palette is the ‘must have’ Rainbow Glimmer Paper. It is such fun and a perfect way to add the sparkle and shine to any card or project.
my card:
For my card I used products from the Whale of a Time Suite. I didn’t initially buy this suite when the new annual was first released. I loved the colour palette and the images are glorious but I wasn’t exactly sure how I would use it. After seeing several beautiful cards created with it, I did relent and…..it is even better in real life and I have found sooooooo many uses for it. 😉 In fact it is becoming one of my go-to products, especially the designer series paper.
Really, the paper does all the work on my card. The only stamping is the small Happy Birthday. The whale itself is punched from a piece of the DSP, as is the seaweed which was diecut using a die from the Smooth Sailing set. This underwater scene is gorgeous and I tried to position my whale so that it looked like it was swimming up towards the sunlight.
I really enjoyed creating this card as I love this suite of products and Granny Apple Green is actually one of my favourite colours in the Stampin’ Up! range. It is such a bright cheery colour.
If, like me, Â you have fallen in love with the Whale of a Time DSP, you are in luck. During October Stampin’ Up! has a promotion on select Designer Series Papers. Whale of a Time is just one of the 15 DSPs on sale, as is Artistry Blooms, the other DSP to include Granny Apple Green in its colour palette. For more info click on the image above.

Lovely scene card Michelle, I really need to borrow this set off of mum and make some cards with it. Thank you for sharing
Such a beautiful, fun and playful card, Michele! I love your use of the DSP – very creative!
How wonderful! The scene that you’ve created is awesome!
Great colour palette and gorgeous card, Michele. Such a bright and happy card.
What a wonderful scene you’ve created with this fun dsp, Michele. I too love how it doesn’t need lots of stamping and the Coral really pops!
This card makes me wonder why I have bought the paper but haven’t bought the whale punch!! So gorgeous Michele!
A beautiful card Michele. I love the way you have created an underwater scene using the DSP, die cuts and the coordinating punch. Gorgeous. I think I need to add this DSP to my next order! xxx
Great card, Michele and I love all the details you have added. Whale of a Time is a fab paper pack and a great collection of colours that combine so well.
Such a lovely card Michele and a great use of both the DSP and Granny Green Apple.
Great use of the DSP and I never would of thought it was almost a no stamping card unless you said so.
Beautiful use of this paper, that has become a favourite of mine, too, Michele! The Granny Apple Green card base is a perfect anchor (pardon the pun) for all the lovely colourful elements. Gorgeous.
Lovely bright happy card Michele, that whale is so cute
Wow Michelle, your seascape is so serene and lifelike – it looks like the fish and the whale are swimming. Thanks for inspiring us all with your Granny Apple Green card tonight!
