Week 25 Fresh Freesia - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 25 of the Colour Creation Blog Hop. With this weeks feature colour being Fresh Freesia a beautiful lilac colour I really wanted to show it off. So I decided all the lovely purples in the colour range. So I used them all. I started my card with a Gorgeous Grape card base and then added at Highland Heather Layer. I then added the Fresh Freesia layer that I had stamped in Fresh Freesia ink using the Layers of Beauty Bundle. I then used the masks from the same bundle and made my Roses using the same colours as the layers along with Garden Green and Old Olive. As the main rose was to large for the front of this card I cut off a section and glue this to the side of the card as seen in the photo below.

I then added my sentiment from the Unbounded Love Bundle and used the dies that I thought really gave the front that added depth. I finished off the front with the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

My insert was kept plain and simple with just a Highland Heather layer and Basic White Card. I did all of my stamping in Fresh Freesia inside and out and a Simple flower on the inside corner to finish off.

All the items used in this project can be found in the current 2024-25 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these items of the card design please feel free to contact me.

Week 24 Flirty Flamingo - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hi Everyone and welcome to week 24 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week we are showcasing Flirty Flamingo. I will admit it's not one of my favourite colours and neither is the colour that I paired it with. But here we go you be the judge.

So I Started with a Flirty Flamingo card base and added a Blackberry Bliss layer. I then positioned layers 2 & 3 together and moved around layer 3 until I have the angle that I wanted. gluing them together like this. I then added my DSP layer and trimmed away those layers from layer 2. Gluing these then to my layer 1 on the card front.

I stamped my sentiment directly onto the card front and finished off with the sequins from the online store. My insert is very plain just the 2 layers Blackberry Bliss and Basic White. Stamping in Blackberry Bliss. This DSP on the front of the card is from the Simply Zinnia Suit (another online store product). 

All the items used in this project are from the online store except the card stock with can be found in the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the card style please feel free to contact me.

Week 23 Early Espresso - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 23 of the colour creations Blog-Hop.  This week we have a really lovely colour for you, it's Early Espresso. I like it, it's a really lovely dark brown and a great colour to work with.

I thought I would do a Christmas card using the Reindeer Fun bundle. So I started by using the Early Espresso for my card base and added some DSP from the same bundle. I then added another layer of Early Espresso and then Basic White. I stamped in Early Espresso and also Garden Green and Real Red. I cut out the reindeer head and glued the 3 pieces together and then glued this to the front of the card. I added the bells around his neck. Finishing off the front with some of the gold embellishments.

This is a Ribbon Pull Card so when you pull on the ribbon at the top the insert will be lifted up by the ribbon. As you can see from the next photo.

So you can write your message on the inside of the card. (That is really a pocket). Also as you all know me I don't like cards that don't stand on their own so there is a stand on the back.

It will stand with the insert popped up as well as down so it is very stable. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue and the Sept-Dec 2024 Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this design or the items used please feel free to contact me.

Week 22 Daffodil Delight - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

Hello and welcome to week 22 of the colour creations blog-hop. This week we are staying with the yellow as the colour is called Daffodil Delight, this is a lovely bright yellow and really does remind you of daffodils. I have chosen to do another little goodie box for you again this week. As I have been trying to do a few different things ready for Christmas. This weeks goodie box is using the Country Birdhouse Bundle and Country Woods DSP.

I started with Daffodil Delight card to give the birdhouse some strength and added the DSP layer over the top. I cut the platform and roof trim from Daffodil Delight to make it look bright and cheerful. Adding a few flowers in Bubble Bath . Then stamping and colouring the little birds in Daffodil Delight.

Making the little box section was really easy and it does hold a love of the chocolates. As you can see from the photo, also you can see that the back of the goodie box is also the same shape as I cut out 2 sets of the birdhouse.

The back of the box was assembles the same as the front leaving off the bird hold and decorations. These are so cute I think I will be making a few more. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 Annual Stampin'Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product please feel free to contact me.

Week 21 Crushed Curry - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Crushed Curry, and yes it does look like curry powder. I thought I would do something a little different this week, it's not a card. It's a gift card or Money holder, and it hangs.

I started my project using Crushed Curry for the main card stock and added DSP from the Sentimental Christmas Suite. 

It's a cute little hanging box to hang in the Christmas tree, you could put a tag on it with the persons name if you wished. It closes using the sentiment tag at the front. Which comes from the Peaceful Season Bundle. The ribbon is the Frayed Grosgrain. I Stamped in Pretty Peacock and finished with the Drusy  Embellishments.

It's big enough to slip a gift card or some money into the box and a great idea when you don't know what to buy someone for Christmas. If you would like to know more about this design or the products used please feel free to contact me.

Week 19 Copper Clay - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and Welcome to the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring the colour Called Copper Clay. This is a lovely rich clay colour, and really great for men's cards. So this week I have a fancy fold called a Flip Card and I have used the bundle called Tune In. This is a really cute bundle with an old style TV set with antenna's and some really great sentiments.

So I started my card with a Copper Clay base and added an Early Espresso layer and then some DSP from the Take to the Sky Suite. I then added the TV set that I cut out in Early Espresso. I then added the screen in Basic White and stamped it with my Message. I added Gold knobs and speaker panel and the Silver antenna and sound accents to finish off the front of the card. When you flip the card using the pull tab at the bottom you get to the next section of the card.

Here you get 2 more message sections. So I added the words New Flash at the top with more of the sound accents and layers this onto some more Early Espresso. Then at the bottom I added the Happy Birthday from the Tune In bundle. I also added a stand to the back of the card so that it stands on it's own, as you all know I don't like a card that can't stand on it's own. (sorry no photo of that).

As you can see this card stands and you can view it open or closed. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the fancy fold please feel free to contact me.

Week 17 Cherry Cobbler - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 17 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Cherry Cobbler, and as the name Suggests this is a really lovely rich red colour. So I decided to make a Christmas card. I started with a Cherry Cobbler card base and added a Garden Green layer then placing the DSP from the Sentimental Christmas pack to the front. I than used a carry over set from last season Called Trucking Along (this can be found in the online exclusives), and the Merry Christmas was from the Reindeer Fun stamp set. I finished off the front with some lovely Shaded Spruce sheer ribbon and some peppermint dots.

This is a special kind of card as it has a pop up gift card holder on the inside. So I made my pop up section and gift card holder using Cherry Cobber and added layers to match the same as the front of the card. I then added my insert beneath to pop up.

In the photo above you can see how the pop up stands up and the pocket for the gift card. I love the way this card turned out. I can see me making a few for family members. But This is one of those cards that could be made for so many different occasions. All the items in this project except the gift card can be found in the new Sept-Dec 2024 Mini Catalogue that will go live on the 4th September, or in the annual catalogue and online exclusives. If you would like to know more about these product or you would like to purchase these product, please feel free to contact me.
