Week 11 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Basic Gray

 

Hello and welcome to week 11 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring Basic Gray. Not one of my faves that's for sure. So I hummed and Ahhhhhh ed about what to make and decided I want to try the Patina look. So I got out a Stamp set and Embossing folders and gave it a try.

I decided I was going to use the Sweet Citrus bundle, so placing Basic Gray ink onto my Embossing Folder to start the process. I added Old Olive and Balmy Blue ink with my blending brushes and then I added some Gold embossing powder. I don't think the photo really does it justice, it looks better in real life.

So I mounted my Patina panel onto Basic Gray card and then attached this to a Slate Gray card base. I finished off the front of the card with a saying from the same set. That I stamped in Basic Gray. added just a few Iridescent Gems.

I carried the theme over to the inside of the card stamping in Basic Gray and adding a touch of Old Olive and Balmy Blue. Not bad of my first attempt, if I must say so myself.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any or all of these product please feel free to contact my via email, phone or PM.

Week 3 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop Moody Mauve a 2023-25 Incolor

 

Week 3 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop

 Moody Mauve 2023-25 Incolor

Hello and welcome to week 3 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. We are featuring the 5 new incolors for 2023-25 over the first 5 weeks and this week we have Moody Mauve for you. To me it's a dusty pink colour pretty but unsure if I will use it much at the moment. But I'm sure as time goes on I will find myself using it a fair bit as I do like pinky colours.  I have chosen to use a carry over product for this card as I thought I could make this card to any occasion. 

So starting with a Basic White card base I added the Moody Mauve layer and then stamped the next Basic White layer using the Sending Smiles Stamp Set, I stamped the leaves using Old Olive and the flower tips using Moody Mauve. I then added some Old Olive and Crushed Curry using the Blending Brushes. I cut out the word Sending and Stamped the rest of the message onto the card directly. Finishing off the front with some of the lovely Incolor Glossy Dots.

I didn't add a sentiment to the inside of the card, that way I can use it for lots of occasions. I just stamped the same flower stem and flower and layered it onto Moody Mauve layer and then added a strip on the left-hand side to balance out the insert. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue, if you would like to know more about these product or would like to purchase them please feel free to contact me via email, phone or PM so that I can help you.

Week 36 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Pear Pizzazz

 

Hello and welcome to week 36 of the colour creations blog-hop. This week we are featuring the colour called Pear Pizzazz. For me this was an easy colour as green is my favourite colour, and this is a really lovely mid shade of green. I thought I would use some of the new products from the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalogue. I love the little bunnies, the bundle is called "Easter Bunny Bundle" on page 52.

 So I started with 2 of the 3 bunnies colouring them using the Blends I used light and dark Crumb Cake I also stamped the little carrots and coloured them using Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green. I punched out the bunny that matches the punch and fussy cut the others along with the carrots and the grass.

 I used the DSP from the Enjoy the Journey bundle and using my blending brush I added Pear Pizzazz ink to enhance the colour. Then I stamped some of the grass onto the front section, with the contours on the DSP it gave the look of different levels of grass. I thought that my Bunny scene turned out not half bad. Just finishing off the front with a Hi using the layering circles. 

 My insert was a little bit more than I usually do as I wanted to add another bunny here as well. 

 All the items used in this project can be found in the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalogue and the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue, if you would like to know more about these product or the card design please feel free to contact me either via email, PM or phone.

Week 32 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Old Olive

 

Hi Everyone, How are we all doing? we are now at week 32 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop and this week our colur is Old Olive. Just as the name says it's really a lovely Olive Green colour.  As green is my favourite colour I didn't have much trouble coming up with a card this week. I wanted to use one of the new stamp sets from the Jan-June Mini Catalogue and decided on the Eden's Garden set.

 

I teamed my Old Olive with Rich Razzleberry as I thought they went together pretty well. So I started with an Old Olive card base and added a Rich Razzleberry layer then I layed a piece of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon on I then place a Gold Foil layer over this. Before Stamping my leaves from the Eden's Garden stamp set in Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry. I then used my Blening Brush to add extra colour over the stamped images. Finishing off with my sentiment stamped using Memento ink and then a few Gold Metallic Pearls. I placed Dimensionals of that back of the Gold Fold to give this layer some height. 

 

The inside of my card reflex the outside as I stamped some more leaves and then coloured over them. This is such a lovely set and I know I will get plenty of use out of it. If you would like to purchase this set, which also comes with some beautiful dies in a bundle or any of the other product I have used in this project please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you.
