Week 34 Melon Mambo - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 34 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop and the last one for 2024, we will be back on the 8th of January 2025 to finish off all the rest of the lovely colours that we haven't featured yet. But as for today we are featuring Melon Mambo. A really bright pink colour and it's a happy colour for me. I thought I would make a Shaker card this time as it's not something I do very often.

So I started with a Melon Mambo card base and I added a DSP layer in Balmy Blue from the Beautiful Bokeh 6 x 6 inch Pack (this is part of the Beautiful Butterflies Suite Collection.) I then run the Basic White layer through the die cut machine using the Starstruck Embossing folder from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. (Available from the 7th January 2025) I then used a brush to colour it with Melon Mambo ink. After that I cut out a square aperture from this piece of card. I placed the Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix on the card and added a piece of Window Sheet and the Dimensional Strips to hold them in place. I finished off the front of the card using the Medium Sized Butterflies from the Same suite, along with the sentiment tag and sentiment. I added the Sequins from the online exclusives to finish off the front.

I kept the inside the same as the front using the DSP as my layer and then the Basic White. I stamped in Melon Mambo. The blue and pinks in the Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix really work well and bring out the colours from both the papers and Mix. If you would like to know more about these product (that will be available from the 7th of January until the 5th May 2025) please feel free to contact me.

Week 33 Lost Lagoon - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hi Everyone and welcome to my Blog. This week our feature colour is called "Lost Lagoon" It's a really pretty sea green colour and I love it. I have chosen to do a fairly plain and easy card as I have had a really busy week.

I started with a basic white card base and edges around the card with Lost Lagoon ink. I then added a Lost Lagoon layer and DSP layer from the A Little Latte pack. I used the Frames and Flowers Specialty DSP from the annual catalogue (Page 29) for my wreath. I then cut out a circle from the deckled circles and edge that with Lost Lagoon ink. I stamped my Happy Birthday from the Tune In Stamp set, and place it on dimensionals. I then added the Lost Lagoon dots to finish off the front of the card.

My insert was kept very simple with just a Lost Lagoon layer and Basic White. I Stamped the words Wish Big from the From the Hot Air Balloon Bundle. 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 would like to purchase them please feel free to contact me.

Week 32 Lemon Lolly - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hi everyone, and welcome to week 32 of the colour creations blog-hop. This week our colour is called Lemon Lolly, it's a really pretty yellow, soft and great for young and old. I decided I wanted to have another play with the Latte Love bundle. This is an online exclusive and I really do love this set.

I started with a Lemon Lolly card base and added the Pecan Pie layer, then the DSP from the Latte Love DSP. I stamped directly onto the DSP using Early Espresso ink. I then cut out a cup from the DSP and also cut out the coffee post using the dies. I put black coffee in the pot and added a Gold lid and handle to the pot. Placing them onto the front of the card on an angle. I finished off the front with some of the Swirl dot from the same set.

I think the gold lid and handle make the pot look a bit more up market. What do you think?

For my insert I cut some more cups and glues them to my Basic White layer added some steam and coffee stain. I mounted this onto another layer of Pecan Pie and finished it off with my message.

All the items for this project can be found either online or in the 2024-25 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product, please feel free to contact me. At this stage I have no idea who will get this card.
