Week 26 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Highland Heather

 

 

Hello and welcome to week 26 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. We are now over half way through our colours as there are 50 colours in the Stampin' Up! world. We are featuring Highland Heather this week, it's a lovely Light Purple or lilac colour. 

 

 I decided to make a fancy fold card that is called W.V. Card. I started with a Highland Heather card base and my layer is Old Olive. My DSP is the Perfectly Penciled 12 x 12, that I spent the morning colouring with my Highland Heather, Old Olive and Pool Party Blend pens Light and Dark. Took me a bit of time as I coloured the whole sheet. But I was really happy with the way it looked. I then cut out 3 butterflies in soild gold foil sheet and 3 butterflies in filigree using the Highland Heather, these are from the Butterfly Brilliance set. placing a few Highland Heather Pearls around to finish off the front and inner back section of the card.

As you can seen from the photo above the W.V. shape of the card. I place a small tag on the back section of this card saying Thinking of You, as the writing panel is on the back of the card.

I finished the back of the card with the same Old Olive layer and the Basic white. All of my sentiments come from the Celebrating You and Go-To Greetings. once again you can see the way the W section of the card is folded. All the items used in this week project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue.

Week 25 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Gray Granite

 

Hello and Welcome my lovely Crafty Friends. This week we are featuring Gray Granite as our colour. Not an easy one for me to work with, to dull for my liking. Gray Granite is part of the Neutrals Collection of Stampin' Up! Colours it has a slight beige tinge to it. But I teamed it up with Basic Gray to create my card. As I think this is a colour more suited to a Male card, this is what I made.

I started with a Gray Granite card base that if deckled the bottom edge on. I then cut out 4 layers of deckled rectangles alternatively in Basic Gray and Gray Granite. With the smallest as Gray Granite I then set about giving my sky the stormy look using Fresh Freesia to give the effect of storm clouds, and using Balmy Blue for the sea. I stamped my sail boat from the Let's Set Sail Bundle and added the birds. I stamped the message from the Celebrating You Stamp Set. Finishing off the front with some Iridescent Rhinestones to make it look like rain drops.

As always my insert is plain I layered 2 more deckled rectangles and stamped my sentiment in Memento ink.

All the items used in this weeks project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue. If you would like any of these products or would like to know more about them please feel free to give me a Call, email or PM so that I might help you.

Week 24 Colour Creations - Blog-Hop - Granny Apple Green

 

Hello and welcome to week 24 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Granny Apple Green, and as green is my favourite colour I really enjoyed making this card. Being part of the Bright Collection I thought it would be nice to make a Christmas card.

I started me card with a Basic White card base and the layer is Granny Apple Green that I die cut using the "Split Card Textures Dies" that you will find on page 174 of the 2022-2023 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue.  I then wanted to have a play with the Window Wishes Bundle Found on Page 36 of the July-Dec 2022 Mini Stampin' Up! Catalogue. So I set about doing my scene and then added my window. Placing the candles on the window sill. 

I added the garland over the window and used the little ribbon die to place at the top. But it looked a little bare to me to I added the Festive Pearls in all of the 4 colours to add some bling. I finished off the front of the card with my Merry Wishes that I tucked behind the candles and added a few more pearls.

My insert as normal for me is very plain. I added the candles again in the bottom right-hand corner and my sentiment. I then place this onto another layer of Granny Apple Green card. I know I used a fair bit of bling on the front but I was happy with how this card turned out. I need to play with this set some more.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue and the July-Dec 2022 Mini Catalogue as stated earlier. If you would like to know more about this project or the product used please feel free to give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you.

Week 23 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Gorgeous Grape

 

Hello and welcome to week 23 of the colour creations blog-hop. This week we are featuring the colour Gorgeous Grape part of the Bights collection and it one of my favourites.

I thought it would be nice to make a box card. So I started with Gorgeous Grape card base and added Highland Heather layers and DSP from the lovely Hues of Happiness. I also used the lovely Mini Pocket Envelope dies to add a pocket to the front of the card. This way I have a present and card in one, as this holds a gift card. All the stamping was done using the Celebrating You stamp set and Gorgeous Grape Ink. I finished off the front of the card with the Pastel Pearls.

For that back of my card I once again stamped with the Celebrating you Stamp set. But keeping it plain.

So what did I put inside the box on the side of the card......Well it was one of those miniature bottles of Johnny Walker. What a great idea for someone special. I think this would look really great as a male card. 

No gift card was hurt during the making of this card (as I didn't have one)......ha ha ha. All of the card items used in this project can be found in the Stampin' Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue. I would never have purchased the little Mini Pocket Envelope dies if I hadn't had a chance to used France McFaul's on a crafty afternoon last month. But I am now loving it. I can see so many ways to use it. If you would like to know more about the product I have used or would like to purchase them, please feel free to give me a Call, email or PM so that I can help you.
