Art With Heart Colour Creations – Week 6: Azure Afternoon 💙

 

A group of the Art With Heart Team is hopping through the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order, and Week 6 is all about Azure Afternoon 💙

This week’s project is my weekly journal page, inspired by a few of my favourite things — relaxing by the sea, reading a good book, journaling, sipping a hot strong chai latte, and a little ice‑cream shop not too far away. Azure Afternoon pairs beautifully with the colours in the Relaxing Waterside DSP, and the gorgeous little scenes in this pack make creating a journal page so simple.

Project Measurements 📏

• Relaxing Waterside DSP (main panel) — 190mm x 132mm

• Relaxing Waterside DSP – Waves — 132mm x 80mm

• Relaxing Waterside DSP – Wood — 132mm x 50mm

• Azure Afternoon Cardstock (behind ice‑cream scene) — 105mm x 83mm

These layers create the soft coastal background and the structure for the journaling pockets tucked behind the scene.

The main DSP panel (190mm x 132mm) sets the tone for the page. I layered the waves and wood patterns to build a calm, coastal feel 🌊 that works perfectly with the Relaxing Waterside imagery.

Project Details ✨

Journal Page Layout

Full journal page — Azure Afternoon brings all the seaside colours together beautifully 💙.

Ice‑Cream Scene Panel 🍦

Ice‑cream shop scene — trimmed to size using Perennial Postage Dies ✂️.

Behind the ice‑cream scene sits an Azure Afternoon panel (105mm x 83mm) cut with the Perennial Postage Dies. I shortened the die‑cut by lining the piece back into the die and running it through the Cut & Emboss Machine again — a handy trick when you need a custom size.

Relaxing Waterside Elements 🪑📚☕

seagulls — stamped in Smoky Slate.

The chair, cup, book and seagulls all come from the Relaxing Waterside stamps and dies.

• Book + cup: stamped in Azure Afternoon on Very Vanilla

• Seagulls: stamped in Smoky Slate

• Chair: coloured with hints of Poppy Parade ❤️ to make it pop against the cool blues

Journaling Pages ✍️

 Journaling pockets created with Extraordinary Life — loving the Top Five Gratitude stamp 🙏.

Behind the scene are my journaling pages, created using the Extraordinary Life bundle. The Top Five Gratitude stamp is becoming a favourite — such a helpful prompt each week.

Sentiments & Finishing Touches 💬.

All sentiments are stamped in Azure Afternoon on Very Vanilla and cut using:

• Stylish Shapes Dies

• Banner Punch

These small details help tie the whole page together while keeping the colour story consistent.

I hope this inspires you. Happy Stamping Hx 🧡
