Week 42 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Pretty Peacock

 

Hello and welcome to the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Pretty Peacock. I love this colour it's so nice and yet it is a dark colour. I would call this colour a sort of greeny blue. Anyway I thought I would use the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle for this weeks project. So I started with a Pretty Peacock base card and added a Basic White layer and then a DSP layer using the Bright and Beautiful Paper. I then cut out the ice cream cone in Crumb Cake and using the same colour ink darkened the edges so that it looked more rounded. I then cut out the ice cream in Bubble Bath and Basic White to give the effect of a swirl in 2 flavours. Finishing off the ice cream with some strawberries. It looks so good I would love to eat it. I attached this to the front of the card using Dimensionals. along with my sentiment.

 I carried the Strawberry theme over to the inside of the card. I so love strawberries and I coloured these using my Real Red Blends. All the sentiment stamping was done in Pretty Peacock. I must say I really am loving this set, I think I will have to do a video of this card. What do you think?

Week 31 of the 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Lost Lagoon

 

Hello all and welcome to my Blog. Sorry I have been away awhile but my leg (from the knee replacement) has really set me back more than I thought it would. Anyway here we are with week 31 and our feature colour is Lost Lagoon.  So I thought I would make a Birthday card for my Husband Shane who's birthday is on the 20th of December. This is what I came up with.

it's called a Pop up Aperture card. and this is the front view. No that's not a mistake at the bottom where the crease is, that's how it's suppose to look. So I started with a Lost Lagoon card base and added Basic White layers and the DSP from the Bright and Beautiful collection. I stamped and cut out using the He's All That bundle from the Annual Catalogue.

But when you open the card you get this lovely aperture in the pop up section. This really brings the card to life. I know that Shane is going to love me card so I'm happy. All the items used in this project are from the 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the Card design please feel free to contact me.

Week 14 2023-34 Colour Creations Blog-hop - Blueberry Bushel

 

Hello and welcome to week 14 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is another returning colour called Blueberry Bushel. I love this blue it's so vibrant. I have chosen another Fancy Fold for you all and I love how this fold turned out.

It's called a Box in a Box card and it measures 7 x 5 inches (17.8 x 12.7cm), and it lays flat for posting. So I started with a Blueberry Bushel base and added Lemon Lolly for my layer and the Bright and Beautiful DSP.  Adding the Balloons from the same bundle. I also added the lovely Happy Birthday from the Wanted to Say die set.

I wanted the Happy Birthday to stand up and really pop so I added small pieces of card to the back and placed it above the inner boxes diamond shape section. I think it really does work good on this design.

As you can see on in the picture above. I finished off the front of the card with iridescent Rhinestones on the balloons.

I added a writing panel to the back of the card so that I had a place to write my message. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the fancy fold please feel free to contact me via email, phone or PM.

Week 12 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Berry Burst

 

Hello and welcome to week 12 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Berry Burst. I love this colour and am so glad that it has returned. I decided that I wanted to do another of the Fancy Fold cards that everyone knows I love doing. So I have chosen the Flip Flap card and I really love how it pops in Berry Burst.

I actually started my card with a Bubble Bath card base and then stamped it using Berry Burst ink and the Share a Milkshake bundle. The little hearts look really pretty against the Bubble Bath. I Then use a Berry Burst layer before the next layer of Bubble Bath. (Stamped again). Adding the Bright and Beautiful DSP to the flappers and behind really looks bright and cheery. I then stamped the Sundae's and spoons. 

I put the same sundae's and spoons on the inside of the flappers as well, but unlike the front I didn't add some Basic Pearls that I coloured to look like cherries. This is such a lovely interactive card I recon you could make this for lots of occasions.

As this is a 7x5inch card and it is mounted onto a proper card base I wanted to show off the lovely colour combo so I gave larger that normal borders. Finishing off the inside with more sundae's and spoons. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this design or the products used please feel free to contact me via email, PM or phone so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 9 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Pecan Pie

 

Hello and welcome to week 9 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations blog-hop. This week we are featuring the lovely Pecan Pie Colour which is a lovely rich brown colour, and part of the Neutrals Collection of colours. I really didn't know what I was going to create for this week and then I came across a lovely Bridge card that folds flat for posting and I thought I would give this one a try.

I really wanted to use the Little Monkey Bundle so I thought I would doing it with this style of card. I started with a Pecan Pie card base and added a Crumb Cake layer and the DSP from the Bright & Beautiful papers I chose the Blue paper as I thought it looked like the sky and it would go well with the monkeys fling through the air. So I stamped some branches onto Basic White and coloured them using my marker pens and I also stamped some onto the DSP colouring them as well. I cut out the 4 branches and added 3 to the front of the card across the bridge. I also cut out some of the bananas as well so that they are hanging in the trees. Finishing off with a sentiment tag from the stylish shapes dies and hanging a couple of monkeys from the trees.

from the side of the card you can see that the bridge section is a concertina fold so it will spring out once the card is removed from the envelope. I did also add some iridescent rhinestones to the finish off the front of the card. I also carried my theme over to the inside of the card. With another Monkey hanging from a branch. along with the words Little Monkey. I coloured all of my Monkeys with Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake. They are really very cute.

Week 8 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Lemon Lolly

 

 

Hello and welcome to week 8 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is another of the new colours called Lemon Lolly. What a beautiful bright Yellow and a really happy colour. Lemon Lolly is part of the Subtles collection. I have chosen a tri fold card to highlight this lovely colour today.

I started with a Lemon Lolly card base and added Granny Apple Green for a layer and then the DSP from the Bright a Beautiful papers. Even thought in the catalogue it doesn't list Lemon Lolly it does on the packaging of the DSP.  I used the Sweet Citrus Bundle for the fruit on the front and inside stamping the rind of the fruit using Lemon Line Twist and Lemon Lolly for the Flesh of the fruit. Finishing off the front of the card using the Stylish Shapes Dies for the tag and iridescent Rhinestones.

I also added more fruit to the inside of the card to carry the theme over. This is a really lovely Happy card, and I love the colour combo that I used.

I used the other side of the DSP for the middle section of the card. All the items used in this project can be found in the current 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product of the card design please feel free to contact me via Phone, Email or PM so that I might help you.
