Week 16 Calypso Coral - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 16 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour if Calypso Coral, it a lovely rusty colour that lends it's self to so many different styles. This week I have chosen to use the Online Exclusive Bundle Latte Love. This set can be purchased as a stand alone stamp set or in a bundle with Coordinating Dies. Or you can purchase the suite that means it comes with designer series paper, Adhesive backed Swirl dots and Polka dot Trim. These all coordinate beautifully.  So my card today is a Panel card, and I started with a Calypso Coral card base and added a Lemon Lolly layer before attaching the DSP from the suite.

I then added 2 layers of deckled circles and cut out 3 coffee cups from the DSP I stamped my sentiment onto the Lemon Lolly circles using Calypso Coral ink. Added my coffe cups and a few of the swirl dot. But it looked not quite right so I added the coffee stains and rings to finish off the front of the card.

This card stand up like a tower card and folds flat to fit into a regular envelope. But I hear you ask where do you sign this card, well that is on the back.


I added a Lemon Lolly layer along with a Basic White layer to the back of the card. I stamped my message in Calypso Coral. I also added some more coffee stains and rings. But once again it didn't look finished. so at the edge of the DSP there are some of the cup that are only parts so I cut one of these out and added it to the top left-hand side. Yep that made it look finished to me. (happy Chappy).

All the items used in this project are current and can be found either in the 2024-25 Annual catalogue or through the online Exclusive section of the website. If you would like to know more about these product or the card please feel free to contact me.

    Great use of Calypso Coral, Di! I wouldn't have thought to pair this colour with Lemon Lolly, if it wasn't for that lovely DSP ... it looks so good. I especially love how you decorated the back panel. Always great to use partial images cut from DSP. :)

    Diu, your Panel card gives the wonderful effect of looking down above a table in a cafe! I would never have thought to pair Lemon Lolly with Calypso Coral but you have definitely pulled it off with your striking card!

    The Lemon Lolly and Calypso Coral look great together! I love the back panel, with the coffee sitting off the edge and the coffee splash, what a great stamp set.
