Week 30 Higland Heather - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 30 of the Colour Creations Blog-hop. We are an Australian team of stamper who enjoy creating and highlighting a different colour from the Stampin' Up! range each week. This week our collour is called Highland Heather, it a lovely light purple colour and I do like it very much. I have chosen to use the Attention Shoppers bundle with it this week and it went together just as I had imagined it.

I started with a Highland Heather card base and added a Blackberry Bliss layer and then the DSP from the To Market Suite. I then cut out 2 deckled circles one in Highland Heather and the other in Silver Mirror card, different sizes. I also cut out the shopping trolley in Silver and Early Espresso. I stamped 6 of the Shopping bags and coloured them in an array of different colours, piling them into the trolley.

I also stamped my message and embossed with silver embossing powder. I then mounted the trolley onto the front of the card using dimensionals. I didn't add any bling to the front of the card as I thought it would get lost among the silver mirror card.

With my insert I used another layer of Blackberry Bliss and then Basic White. Stamping my sentiment in Highland Heather and then another shopping bag that I coloured. This bundle is really great for those shopaholic's out there. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue.

Week 40 Colour Creations Blog-Hop Rich Razzleberry

 

 

Hi Everyone and welcome to week 40 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring Rich Razzleberry  not one of my favourite colours, but here is goes. I decided, I wanted to use a bundle that I haven't used in awhile. So I pulled out and dusted off "Dressed to Impress" I really had no idea what I was going to do with it, so this was my challenge. I started with a Rich Razzleberry card base and my only layer is Basic white. I stamped my sentiment using Memento ink in the left top corner. then I decided I would add small strips of card in Petal Pink, Real Red and Rich Razzleberry. I thought I would add the lipstick onto these of I stamped them and coloured them using the matching blends. I angled these onto my strips gluing them flat.

I placed these strips onto the white card and when I was happy with the position I then stamped the corresponding lipstick smudge in front of the strip. I then added this strips on dimensionals. To finish off the front of the card I coloured 3 Basic Pearls with Rich Razzleberry and  added them to the bottom right-hand corner.

My insert again was just a piece of Basic white card. I added another lipstick and smudge at the bottom in Rich Razzleberry and stamped a sentiment. I was happy with the way this card turned out and glad that I set myself a challenge. All the Items used in this project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or you would to purchase them please feel free to give me a Call, Email or PM so that I can help you.

Week 17 Colour Creations Blog - Hop Flirty Flamingo

 

Welcome to week 17 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are creating with Flirty Flamingo. This really isn't one of my favourite colours and I really do struggle to get any ideas with it. So I went through my tutorials and I thought this one will make a really stunning card and it did. (If I do say so myself) toot toot.

It's called a Front Fan Fold card and it's really easy to do. I also used the Sale-A-Bration DSP called Beautifully Penned. I used my blends to colour the flowers on the DSP and on the stamped images on the front of the card and then die cut out 2 flowers from the Hand Penned Bundle to place in the middle of the fan. The butterfly is from the Butterfly Brillance dies and my Basic pearl I colour Flirty Flamingo. This card will need a box to send it in as it stills up about 1/2 inch (1.3cm)  so you wouldn't want to squash it.

I stamped the inside of my card and coloured the flowers again, I allowed a large boarder around my card to really bring out the Flirty Flamingo. I didn't put a sentiment on the front of the card as I thought the inside words say it all.

All the items used in this weeks project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue and the August - September Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. If you would like more information on this project or the items used please give me a Call, Email or PM so that I can help you.

Heart of Christmas 2021 Blog-Hop

Hello and Welcome to the Heart of Christmas Blog-Hop for 2021. With the New Mini Catalogue coming out on the 3rd August 2021 and the Items in the Current 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue there are plenty of lovely sets and Papers to chose from. 

I have chosen to make a card from the Tidings of Christmas Suite Featured on Page 88-89 of the Annual Catalogue. I love the papers in the suite they are just beautiful. Anyway I have chosen to make a Pop Out Fancy fold card that really showcases the paper and the Star die. My Merry Christmas is from the Poinsettia Petals Stamp set on Page 92. 

I started with a Basic White Card base and added a Cherry Cobbler layer followed by the DSP I then used my layering circles to cut out a hole in the front of the card and also to make a frame from Mossy Meadow card. With my star I cut this out 3 time in white card and glued them together before cutting out another in Gold Foil and placing this over the top this really made the star stand out. I then place the Mossy Meadow background star under it so the it really Popped. I used my Cherry Cobbler blender pen to colour some basic peals for the centre of the star and the berries with the holly leave.

When you open this card the centre circle pops out inside the card and looks so pretty in Mossy Meadow followed by the DSP cut using the scalloped circle the scalloped circle and the star are both attached using dimensionals to give it more depth.

Once you pull back the inside flap it reveals the inside message and your place to write your own message. This is my 1st Christmas card for the season. So I hope like it as much as I do. All the product used in this project can be found in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue.

Week 8 - Calypso Coral

https://whatcathymade.com.au/?p=5345 

Hello Everyone and Welcome to week 8 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Calypso Coral which is a beautiful Orange Brown and part of the Subtles Collection of Colours. 

I thought that I would use the New Pampered Pet Bundle for this card, I thought having a rusty brown dog would look really good and I was happy with the results.

 I Started with a Very Vanilla Card base and added layers in Basic Black, Calypso Coral and Very Vanilla. I then cut out 3 of the Stitched Nested Labels in the same colours and arranged them on the card front after stamping Happy Birthday form the Peaceful Moments set. I then stamped the forward facing dog along with the backwards facing dog onto some very vanilla card and the using my Calypso Coral blender pens to colour the 2 dogs. placing the 2 top nested labels onto dimensionals along with the dogs to give plenty of depth to the project. I finished off by stamping some of the little hearts and colouring them using the light Cherry Cobbler Blender and then added some of the New Wonderful Gems that can be found in the 2020 Mini Catalogue (that will be due out on the 4th  August 2020)

I layered the inside of my card to match the outside and stamped my sentiment from the Pampered Pets Bundle along with the little hearts that I once again coloured using the Light Cherry Cobbler Blender pen. 
This bundle comes with both cats and Dogs so it is a lovely set for all animal lovers, If you would like to purchase this bundle or any of the other product used in this project please give me a call, email or PM me so that I can help you with your purchase.

Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 3 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Showcase.  As you know we are going through the colours in Alphabetical order so this week we have Bermuda Bay What a lovely colour this is, and I don't use it that much that I only had one full A4 sheet left. Just enough for this project.

I have made 2 card the same but different. 

I started by stamping the images from the "A Good Man" and "Beautiful Moments" set onto Whisper White Card making it look like one Picture (well I hope so to everyone else) and then coloured one of the picture using the blender pens and the other using the Water Painter brush and my ink pads. The one on the left is with Blender Pens.

I then layered them onto one of the frames from the Ornate Garden Suite in the Bermuda Bay and then on to Gold and Silver Foil Sheet using another of the frames. before placing them onto the front of a White card base.

Colour Creations Showcase - Basic Gray

Hi Everyone and welcome to week 2 of the Colour Creations Showcase, this week our colour is Basic Gray. Not an easy colour for me to work with but I was pleased with the outcome all the same.

I decided, I would start with a Basic Gray card base and then added a layer of So Saffron followed by another layer in Basic Gray. I stamped the Dandelion using Versa Mark and then added the White Embossing powder and heat set them I then used the So Saffron Blender pens to all so colour to the the dandelions. I think this lifted them I then added my ribbon and bow and mounted the layers onto dimensionals before attaching to the front of the card.

I then stamped my sentiment using the versa mark and embossing powder, before cutting them out using the die's from the so sentimental bundle I then cut out another and cut it in half and place this behind so that it gives a border.

I then layered my insert onto some So Saffron and stamped some more dandelions. All the items used in this project are in the New 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any of the projects used in this project please give me a Call, Email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Colour Creations - Terracotta Tile

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all doing well? This week we have a lovely colour for you it's called Terracotta Tile I don't think I have to explain this colour as it speaks for it's self. As I don't have a lot of items in this colour yet only card stock I used this colour as my layers on my card.

I also used the Free as a bird bundle as I love this set and I made a middle pop-up easel card. I coloured my birds using Pumpkin Pie Blender Pens as this was very close in colour and I thought it looked really lovely on the birds. This is a very easy card to make and it will feature on my YOUTUBE channel during July or August and a Tutorial will also be on my Facebook Group page at the same time.

As you can see I have a little message under the flap but this is not where you write your message. I have fussy cut out some of the flowers from the set and used them as my stopper for the easel part of the card and added some clear epoxy drops the centre to finished them off.

Tadah!  This is where you write your message on the bottom. I have used the Terracotta Tile as a layer here as well, having the writing panel on the bottom of the card also give it more strength.
All the items used in the project are in the current 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue if you would like to purchase any or all of these items please give me a call, PM or email me so that I can help you with your purchase.

Colour Creations - Mango Melody

Hi Everyone, Here we are at week 27 of the colour creations hop. This week the colour is Mango Melody, what a lovely colour even though I don't like mango's. I have made this card for my friend Frances whose Birthday in on the 17th December, and as she loves flower and has such a green thumb I thought she would like this one.

I decided to start with a Basic Gray card base and added the Slate Gray as my first layer I then added 3 more layers to the front of the card in Copper Glimmer paper, Mango Melody and Vellum. I used the Beautiful Day Stamp set and stamped the flower using versa mark and Silver Embossing powder. Then coloured in the flower using the Mango Melody Blender pens. I placed the Vellum layer of the Mango Melody layer using glue dots and place the 3 layers on an angle to add to the feature. I placed the faceted gems over where the glue dot were so that you can't see them, and stamped the Happy Birthday on the gray layer using Basic Gray ink.

For my insert I used Whisper White and stamped the flower again along with my sentiment and then used my marker pens to colour in the flower. I added the strip of glimmer paper to finish it off.
All the items used in the project can be found in the 2018 - 2019 Annual Catalogue Except for the Copper Glimmer Paper that is found in the 2018 Holiday Catalogue that ends on the 2nd January 2019.
