Week 31 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Mossy Meadow

 Hello Everyone, and welcome to week 31 of the colour creations blog-hop. This week we are featuring the colour Mossy Meadow, a lovely dark green colour. So I have chosen to make a Christmas card to finish off the last of my Christmas cards for this year. I'm pretty sure I know who will get this card.

So I started with a Mossy Meadow base card and added a basic white layer I wasn't sure what style of card I was going to make. So I added my DSP Layer from the Boughs of Holly paper. But I thought it looked a little plain. So changed the card to a split front card. 

And I'm glad I did. I embossed another piece of Mossy Meadow with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder and then cut it to form the split section added Basic White strips along the cut edges. I then added Dimensionals (Foam Pads) to the back of these sections and attached them to the front of the card. I Cut out the Poinsettia from the same paper pack and added the sentiment from the Leaves of Holly Stamp set. Finishing the front with some Red Festive Pearls.

This has really given my card the lift that it needed. I did keep the inside very plain just added a Basic White layer and stamping in Mossy Meadow. I just didn't want to take anything away from the from of the card.

Week 19 Colour Creations - Blog-Hop - Evening Evergreen

 

Hi and welcome to week 19 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. Here we are with the only other colour in the Stampin' Up! range starting with an E. It's Evening Evergreen a really dark green and as green is my favourite colour I was happy making this card. I decided I would make a Christmas card as I like traditional Christmas colours.

So Starting with a Real Red card base I added an Evening Evergreen layer that I have Embossed using the lovely Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. I then added another Real Red layer and then my DSP layer using Boughs of Holly Paper, that I cut to form a pocket. Placing a tag inside the pocket Stamped using Evening Evergreen ink. I made up some Holly Leaves and Berries for decoration and a Tag from the Stylish Shapes dies. The holly leave are from the Leaves of Holly Bundle. I finished off the front with a ribbon on the tag so that who ever receives this card will know to look, and so of the 2021-2023 Opal Rounds.

For the inside of my card I once again added an Evening Evergreen layer then a Basic white. Stamping in Evening Evergreen. A lovely card that you could attach a gift card to the tag for someone special.
