Week 46 Shaded Spruce - Colour Creations Showcase

 

Hi All, Here we are with our week 46 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week we have Shaded Spruce for you all to get inspired with. Green is my favourite colour so I really didn't find this hard to work with. Part of the Regal Collection it was nice to work with a colour that I like. 

 

I wanted to use a bundle that is retiring at the beginning of May so I chose the Arrange a Wreath for this card and I was really happy how it turned out. I started with an Old Olive Card base and added a Shaded Spruce layer and then my DSP from the Forever Greenery set, I cut out the wreath leaves in both Old Olive and Shaded Spruce turning one over so that the leaves could be seen better I then glued them together. I added the flowers and red bow to finish off the front of the card.

I layered the inside of my card with Shaded Spruce and White card and added 2 strips down the left side I had cut out the other wreath and didn't use it on the front so I decided I would cut it down and use it on the inside I think it gives a lovely bit of interest to the insert, and saves wasting the cut piece as well. It's sad to see the Forever Greenery DSP and the Arrange A Wreath Bundle leaving us, but with so many more new product I know we will be able to create some lovely cards I can't wait to give them a go. If I can help you with a purchase please give me a call, email or PM me I will be happy to help you.

Week 29 Colour Creations Showcase - Mossy Meadow

 Week 29 Mossy Meadow

 

Welcome to Week 29 of the Colour Creations Showcase, and our last Showcase for 2020 BUT we will be back on January 6th 2021 to continue through the colours.

 This week our colour is Mossy Meadow another lovely Green this is a very dark green so I though I would showcase if using Silver and Gold foil sheet. I have chosen once again to make a Christmas Card and this is the last one for the year as I have now finished all my Christmas Card making. I have used a few bundles to make this card starting with the Arrange a Wreath Bundle in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue and the Poinsettia Petals Bundle along with the Peace & Joy Bundle from the Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalogue (that now has only 19 days left to run) from the date of this blog.

 

 Starting off with a Mossy Meadow Card Base and adding a Gold Foil sheet layer and then another Mossy Meadow Layer. I then added a Circle layer in Crumb Cake for my Wreath to lay on as it was to dark to see. I also cut of the holly leaves in Granny Apple Green to lift the colour palette and then punched out 6 berries from Real Red using my 1/2 inch circle punch. I used the Peace & Joy bundle for my sentiment that I die cut in silver and Red. I placed my Berries and Sentiment on with dimensionals. The only thing I wish I had of done is emboss my top Mossy Meadow layer but too late now.

My insert is very plain as I am not a big fan of fancy inserts, so just a whisper white layer with a few extra holly leaves and sentiment. All of the items used in this project can be found in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue or the Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any or all of these items please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 23 - Colour Creations Showcase - Magenta Madness

 Week 23 Magenta Madness

Hello everyone, and welcome to week 23 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Magenta Madness this is one of the 2020-2022 in colors and I love how bright it is.

I did find it hard to make a card with this colour all the same as I wanted to make something elegant and sassy. So I started with a Pretty Peacock card base and then added a Gold Foil Layer before adding another Pretty Peacock layer, I then added a Forever Gold Laser-cut layer. After all the layers I stamped the flower from the Floral Essence Stamp Set onto Magenta Madness card stock using matching ink for the tone on tone look. I then stamped the same image onto some Vellum in the magenta madness ink as well. I then punched out the flowers and layered them together adding a dimensional to the back to attach it to the card front. I also stamped 2 leaves from the Celebrate Sunflowers in Garden Green and vellum and attached these also. I then cut out some of the other leave sprigs from the sunflower set and die cut them out in Silver Foil. I then stamped Happy Birthday onto some whisper white card and layered with magenta madness and add 2 small flowers Arrange a Wreath die set.

 

 

 

For my insert I Just added Best Wishes and bow from the Arrange a Wreath set as well, I then stamped a small piece of Magenta Madness card with the same flower in matching ink. Sweet and simple.All the items used in this project can be found in the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up!
