Week 46 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Smoky Slate

 

Hello and welcome to week 46 of the colour creations blog-hop. we are featuring Smoky Slate this week. Although this is a lovely Neutral Colour, part of the Neutrals Collection I still have trouble using it. I teamed Smoky Slate with Basic Gray for my card this week and was happy with the results.

So I started with a Basic Gray card base added the Smoky Slate layer. Then added the 2 triangles in Basic Gray topped with the beautiful Abigail Rose DSP which is in Smoky Slate. I then stamped the 2 flower in the same DSP and cut them out with the dies from the Cottage Rose Bundle. I added a little extra colour by cutting out the leaves in Garden Green. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the same set on the slant and finished off the front with the Iridescent Rhinestone.

Placing the rhinestones either side of the sentiment and then a few more on the DSP.  I mirrored the layering on the inside of the card, and keeping is simple I stamped the message using Smoky Slate Ink.

Week 18 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Early Espresso

 

Hi Everyone, Welcome to week 18 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop. We are featuring the Colour Early Espresso today and I love this colour its a beautiful dark brown. So I have chosen to make a Faux Centre Stepper Card. I am using the beautiful Abigail Rose DSP and the matching Cottage Rose Bundle.

I started with an Early Espresso card Base and added Basic White layers before the Abigail Rose DSP. I then stamped a Flower and Leaves from the matching stamped set using Early Espresso ink and coloured using the Ivory Blends. I then used the Lifter to lighten the colour. Adding these to the front of the card along with my Sentiment using the Stylish Shape dies. and finishing off this Champagne Rhinestones.

The inside of my card I layered my Basic White onto some Crumb Cake and stamped my sentiment and some more leave. Colouring the leaves using the same technique as I did for the flower and leaves on the front of the card.

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

Week 15 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Crumb Cake

 

Hello and welcome to week 15 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week a feature colour is Crumb Cake. Crumb Cake is part of the Neutrals Collection and a love light brown colour. I like it. I have chosen a card that I saw done by a few different people over the past few months, and I really loved it. It's a larger card fitting into a 51/2 inch square envelope, but when it is open it measures more that 10 inches. It's called a Triple Diamond Card.

I used the beautiful Abigail Rose Suite for this card as I thought the paper and style of this card went together so well. I used my Stampin' Blends to colour the flowers and leaves before cutting them out and mounting them onto the front of the card. I added some Brushed Metallic dots to finish off the front. When the card is standing you it has a zig zag formation.

So it stands really well. I used the DSP from the same set for both the front and back of the card. you actually write on the back of the card.

There is plenty of space here. Even though this is a bigger card I think that it would look wrong if sized down.  it does fold flat nicely to fit into the envelope.

So happy with this card that I wrote a tutorial for this card so that I could make it again. If you would like to know more about this project or the products used please feel free to give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you.
