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.

  2. Di, your reindeer head Ribbon Pull Card is adorable! I love the ribbon for the ribbon pull and the stand on the back of the card is super clever too. The stamped holly matches the DSP perfectly
