Week 24 Flirty Flamingo - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hi Everyone and welcome to week 24 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week we are showcasing Flirty Flamingo. I will admit it's not one of my favourite colours and neither is the colour that I paired it with. But here we go you be the judge.

So I Started with a Flirty Flamingo card base and added a Blackberry Bliss layer. I then positioned layers 2 & 3 together and moved around layer 3 until I have the angle that I wanted. gluing them together like this. I then added my DSP layer and trimmed away those layers from layer 2. Gluing these then to my layer 1 on the card front.

I stamped my sentiment directly onto the card front and finished off with the sequins from the online store. My insert is very plain just the 2 layers Blackberry Bliss and Basic White. Stamping in Blackberry Bliss. This DSP on the front of the card is from the Simply Zinnia Suit (another online store product). 

All the items used in this project are from the online store except the card stock with can be found in the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the card style please feel free to contact me.

Week 15 Cajun Craze - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello everyone, and welcome. I'm back from a lovely weeks holiday in Singapore where the weather was just perfect. So I missed out on making a card for the Bubble Bath week, sorry about that. But here we are at week 15 with Cajun Craze. This is a funny colour to work with for me but I did enjoy making this one. Using some of the nice new products from the annual catalogue. 

I started with a Cajun Craze card base and added a Garden Green layer to the front and the some Basic White that I cut into panels and arranged haphazardly. I then had a play with the new Layers of Beauty Masks. I used Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral and Cajun Craze for my roses and Garden Green and Old Olive for the leaves. They turned out just lovely in these colours.

I then added a sentiment tag along the bottom of the card front, in Cajun Craze and Basic White stamping in Cajun Craze from the Country Birdhouse Stamp set. Finishing off the front of the card with the online exclusive sequins. I kept the inside of my card plain and simple as always, using a Garden Green layer and Basic white. I stamped the small flower from the Layers of Beauty bundle and the Happy Birthday from the Unbounded Love bundle. I coloured the flower using the blends so that it would match the front of the card.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 annual catalogue and the online Exclusive section of the web site. If you would like to know more about these product of any others please feel free to contact me.

Week 50 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Tahitian Tide

 

Hello and Welcome to the last Colour Creation Blog-hop from the 2023-24 catalogue. We have come to the end and finishing on yet another colour that will be retiring Tahitian Tide. This was another of the 22-24 Incolour range and probably my favourite of them all. So I thought I would finish off with a whimsical card featuring 2 stamp set that are also retiring. Taco Fiesta & Supremely Awesome. So as I have done through out the year I started with a Tahitian Tide card base. I then stamped the checkered stamp along the left-hand side of the next layer and also stamped the pizza guy next to it. I coloured his pants using Tahitian Tide ink and a water pen, colouring his hands and face as well. Then just the Pizza leaving the rest of him looking like the head chef. I then used the Taco Fiesta set to stamp the pepper, Taco and Avocado, colouring them in using the blend pens. I then fussy cut them out and attached them to the front of the card down the checkered area. I added my sentiment from the Supremely Awesome set stamped in Tahitian Tide and then layered this onto another piece of the card stock. I placed this on an angle to give a little more interest. Finishing off the front with the Adhesive backed Sequins.

 

 I wanted to follow the theme over to the inside of the card so I stamped the checkered strip down the left-hand side of the card them same as on the front. Then I stamped the Guacamole bowl and corn chip along with some more peppers. Colouring them in as well.

 

 It is so sad to see so many lovely stamp sets and bundles retiring, but there are so many lovely new sets coming out in the new 24-25 annual catalogue I know we are going to have heaps of fun creating with them. 

If you would like to know more about these product preset or upcoming please feel free to contact me.

Week 47 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Soft Sea Foam

 

Hello and welcome to week 47 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. Only 3 more weeks to go and we have finished this years round. Wow that time has gone so quickly. This week we have Soft Sea Foam as our feature colour this is part of the Subtles Collection. and is very pretty light green. 

This week I wanted to do a pyramage style card, but I know that it is really hard to line up all the stamped images so I came up with the idea to make my topper first and then using the deckled rectangles I cut out the layers. I then cut the same rectangles onto plain card stock and glued each piece of the layer onto each rectangle. This way I had a solid base under each piece instead of a small piece with a hole in the centre.

I hope you can understand what I'm saying. I then layered each piece on top of each other using dimensionals. I love the way it turned out.

 I used the New Country Flowers Stamp set this I got at On Stage Melbourne (this will be in the New 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. Along with the New Leaf Collection Stamp and the Frames and Flowers DSP, Also all new in the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. 

 I coloured my Urn and leaves using Soft Sea Foam & Smoky Slate Blends mounting everything onto a Soft Sea Foam Card Base. and Stamping Tone on Tone for the Leaf Collection stamp. I used the Pebbled Path Ribbon to add some extra interest to the front of the card. Finishing off the front using the Pick a Banner Punch for my sentiment and the Adhesive Back Shiny Sequins. 

I kept the inside of my card very simple With just a Basic White layer and the words So Lucky to Know You from the same stamp set. 

You will find the ribbon and card stock used all available in the 2023-24 Annual catalogue, but all other items will be in the up and coming 2024-25 Annual catalogue. Which is due out on the 1st May 2024. I know you wont be able to wait and see all the lovely new products. But let me assure you it will be worth the wait.
