Week 16 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Calypso Coral

 

Hello and welcome to week 16 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is called Calypso Coral. It's another of the rusty colours but a little lighter then last weeks Cajun Craze. Again its a colour I like very much and is really good for male card. So I have made another male card this week.

 

I wanted to use one of the Online Exclusive set so I have used the lovely Along for the Ride Bundle. This comes with a love punch for the truck. So I started with a Calypso Coral card base and then taking a Basic White piece of card I embossed using the Metal Plate 3D Folder. I also did the same for the next from layers. I used me Water Painters to splash Calypso Coral ink over the 2 pieces of Basic white to add so interest to the white sections. I stamped my Trucks in Copper Clay for the outline and Calypso Coral for the truck colour. Punching out 3 in total. I then added dimensionals to the trucks as well and the centre front panel. My words are from the Sending Sunshine Bundle.

 

I didn't add another embellishments to the front of the card as I thought the splashes was enough.

My insert was just another Basic White layer that I stamped the truck moving along the bottom. Added flowers for the rear of one of the truck. Again I stamped with the same colours as the front of the card.    All the items used in the project can be found in the 23-24 Annual Catalogue and the Online Exclusive folder.

Week 44 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Sahara Sand

 

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week our feature colour is called Sahara Sand. To me it's a sort of beige colour (like dirty sand), but it's a colour I do like. I thought I would make a Male card again as it's a challenge for me and I really do find it hard to make male cards. 

So this week I started with a Basic White card base and added a Garden Green layer. I then added a Sahara Sand layer that I embossed using the Metal Plate 3d Embossing folder that is part of the Legendary Ride Suite.

I thought that gave interest to the card front. I then added the grass layers using the grass stamp from the Easter Bunny Bundle, then I fussy cut the top so it looked like grass. I added a goal post in Early Espresso. Before making my Soccer Ball. This I did using the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I cut 6 Basic White and 4 Basic Black gluing them onto a piece of scrap then cutting it out using the layering Circles.

I placed dimensionals on to the back of the ball and then second layer of grass placing the ball between the layers. I finished off the front with the Sentiment tag that I flagged each end using the Pick a Banner punch. and stamping the You are Legendary form the Legendary Ride stamp set. Embellishment are from the 2021-2023 Opal Rounds.

Keeping the inside simple as I normally do I layered the Garden Green with Basic White and stamped the Grass along the bottom. Colouring it with Evening Evergreen. I Stamped the saying form the Greatest Journey Stamp set. I was so pleased with this that I made a video that will go live in early April.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023 Jan - April Mini Catalogue and the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this project or that products used please feel free to contact me via Email, Phone or PM.
