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 21: Highland Heather

Highland Heather is one of the colours in the Stampin’ Up! Subtle collection…….and is a lovely soft mauve. There are several Highland Heather products available in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. These include Classic Stampin’ Pad, A4 Cardstock, Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill, Stampin’ Blends, Tricolor Ribbon and the 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Subtles Assortment.

Highland Heather also features in the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit, which can be found on page 8 of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. This ‘gorgeous’ kit makes 16 cards when teamed with the Gorgeous Posies stamp set which, can also be found on page 8. Kits make the perfect gift for that crafty friend or are a wonderful way to dip your toe into the world of card making, as all the hard work has been done for you. Of course, you can buy it simply because it is stunning and you really need it in your stash of crafty goodness!!! 🙂

Both the Feels Like Frost and Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper packs feature Highland Heather. Feels Like Frost is a returning fave and can be found in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue.

The Snowflake Splendor DSP is just a small part of the suite of the same name. It features snowflakes (stamps, dies and embossing folder), gorgeous Balmy Blue glimmer paper, sparkly faceted gems, iridescent ribbon and a dreamy colour palette.

my cards:

I have a confession to make. I am not a fan of snowflakes at Christmas and while I have always harboured a dream of spending one Christmas in the snow, it just doesn’t jell with Christmases spent in rural Victoria where it was so hot we could have cooked the roast in the sun. However, in my rush to put in an order very late one night, I inadvertently typed in the wrong code and voila……the Snowflake Splendor DSP arrived in my BBB by mistake. And, I must say that it is very pretty and some of the B-sides are very versatile and could be used for a range of occasions. I am still not completely convinced about the snowflakes, but never the less……I used it on both my cards today.

card no. 1:

I created a wreath!!!

The Peace & Joy bundle is my absolute favourite. I used the small ‘star burst’ image to create my wreath. I added some dots using Balmy Blue and a stamp from the Dressed to Impress stamp set. In the centre of each ‘star burst’ I adhered one of the gorgeous iridescent gems from the Snowflake Splendor Suite which can be found on pages 36 to 38 of the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue. They are stunning and a must have. As is the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper from which I die cut the word Joy. It is so gorgeous and sparkly but doesn’t leave glitter all over everything, including your face. 🙂

card no. 2:

My second card features not only the Peace & Joy bundle but bits and pieces from the Poinsettia Place Suite as well. I just love the way ‘this goes with that’ in the Stampin’ Up! range of products.
