Week 37 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Poppy Parade

 

Hello and Welcome to week 37 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Poppy Parade, a beautiful bright red from the Brights Collection of colours. This also comes in the A4 Card Stock, Classic Stampin' Pad, Classic Stampin' Ink Refill, Blends Combo Pack and Brights DSP Assortments. 
I have made another of my fancy fold cards as I really enjoy making these kinds of cards. I love the challenge. This one is called a Triple Layer card. I have seen this made a few different ways so I have combined them to come up with my own version.

 I started with a Poppy Parade card base and added my DSP from the Mini Catalogue Called Flowering Fields. I put this on all 3 layers. I love the poppies so much. I then added the windmill to the front and the poppies to the second layer, leaving the back layer with only the DSP. I finished off the front with a sentiment front the Flowering Poppy stamp set and added some Champagne Rhinestones.
 

This is what the card looks like from the side and it does lay flat and fit into a regular envelope. It's really very effective and sits up lovely. I added a writing panel to the back of my card so that there is somewhere to write my personal message.

I Stamped the writing panel with the Windmill from the Tulip Fields stamp set along with the clouds. The saying was from the Flowering Tulips. My other layer used through out the card was Pear Pizzazz. I love the way the little windmills arms move around. I haven't decided who will receive this card yet. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue or the 2022 Jan-Jun Mini Catalogue.

Week 36 - Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Pool Party.

 

Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 36 of the colour creations blog-hop. This week we are featuring the colour that is called Pool Party. This is a lovely cool greeny-blue colour that reminds me of swimming pool water. You will find this colour in the Subtles collection range, and is available in Card stock, Ink pad, Refill and blends as well as DSP.  This week I have chosen to make a card using Sale-A-Bration items, The Simply Marbleous  DSP and Calming Camellia Host Stamp set.
So I started with a Pool Party card Base and added the Basic White layer along with the DSP. I then added a scalloped layer using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I Stamped the Calming Camellia image and Happy Birthday using Pool Party ink. I then added a bow using the Evening Evergreen Windowpane Check Ribbon that I coloured using my Pool Party Blend pen on the white parts. and finished off the front with the beautiful Iridescent Rhinestones.
 

Placing the scalloped image on an angle on the front of the card using dimensionals. I only added a Basic white layer to the inside of  my card but once again I stamped in Pool Party ink. placing the camellia into the bottom right corner and my sentiment into the centre.


With such a pretty colour this card really has wow factor for me and I love the Rhinestones. Sale-A-Brations Items finish on the 28th February 2022, but all other items can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and the January - June 2022 Mini Catalogue.

Week 35 - Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Petal Pink

 

Hello and Welcome to week 35 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring the Colour Called Petal Pink. This colour is part of the Subtles collection and is (to me) more of an Orangy Pink. Not one of my favourites. But all the same it's great to make something that puts you out of your comfort zone. I decided I wanted to have a go at the Half Star Card so here is my version.

I started with a Petal Pink card base and added a Basic White layer before the DSP from the Friendly Hello Sale-A-Bration set. Very pretty papers.  I then stamped the Bird image from the matching stamp set, and coloured it using my blend pens. I cut out the image using the layering circles and mounted it to the front of the card. I finished off the front using Champagne Rhinestones.


This is the card from the side angle so that you can see the layers. Below is a photo of the card from the top so that you can see the Half Star feature.


This is easier to see when you have the card standing on a shelf. The writing panel is on the back of the card. This I stamped from the same Friendly Hello Stamp set and coloured in the flowers using the Petal Pink Blend pens in both light and dark.


The Friendly Hello Stamp Set and DSP are available until the 28th February 2022 as a Sale-A-Bration Item for FREE if you spend $180AU in products from the Mini and or Annual Current Catalogues.  The Card stock and layering circles are in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about Sale-A-Bration or you would like to purchase any or all of these product please feel free to give me a call, email or PM me so that I can help you.

Week 34 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Pear Pizazz

 

Hello everyone and welcome to week 34 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. Well this week we are featuring the colour Pear Pizzazz, it's a really lovely green colour (I know I'm a bit biassed as green is my favourite colour).  But really it is a lovely green and I have coupled it with another of the greens. Mossy Meadow.  I have seen the Whitewash technique done a few different ways and I thought I want to give this a go. So here is my version of this technique.

So starting with a pear Pizzazz card base I then added a Mossy Meadow layer. I then cut a 2nd layer in Pear Pizzazz and stamped it using the Prized Peony stamp set and Mossy Meadow Ink. I then cut another layer using one of the Scalloped Contour dies and then using the Stitched Rectangles I cut another Pear Pizzazz layer that once again I stamped from the Prized Peony stamp set.
I then started to colour the stamped images using the White Craft ink pad that I squeezed onto one of my stamp block so the the ink was covering it. Using the Blender Pens that come in a pack of 3 I picked up some of the ink and started to colour in the flower petals. I did this on both stamped images. on the top image I coloured the branch using the Bronze blends pen. I that stamped my sentiment and mounted this onto another layer so that the 2 greens were together even there. I attached the sentiment and the smaller layers to the front of the card using dimensionals. 
Finishing off the front of the card with the beautiful Iridescent Rhinestones and a little Wink of Stella. My insert I layered the Mossy Meadow with Basic White. I stamped another of the Prized Peony flowers in the bottom right-hand corner and left the rest of it clear without a sentiment.

 
I was really happy with the effect and I have since made 2 more cards using this technique in different colours. Everything used in this project except the Rhinestones can be found in the Annual 2021-2022 Catalogue. The Iridescent Rhinestone can be found in the Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this technique or would like to purchase any or all of these product please feel free to give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.
