Week 42 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Pretty Peacock

 

Hello and welcome to the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Pretty Peacock. I love this colour it's so nice and yet it is a dark colour. I would call this colour a sort of greeny blue. Anyway I thought I would use the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle for this weeks project. So I started with a Pretty Peacock base card and added a Basic White layer and then a DSP layer using the Bright and Beautiful Paper. I then cut out the ice cream cone in Crumb Cake and using the same colour ink darkened the edges so that it looked more rounded. I then cut out the ice cream in Bubble Bath and Basic White to give the effect of a swirl in 2 flavours. Finishing off the ice cream with some strawberries. It looks so good I would love to eat it. I attached this to the front of the card using Dimensionals. along with my sentiment.

 I carried the Strawberry theme over to the inside of the card. I so love strawberries and I coloured these using my Real Red Blends. All the sentiment stamping was done in Pretty Peacock. I must say I really am loving this set, I think I will have to do a video of this card. What do you think?

 

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue and the 2024 Jan-April Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or my card design please feel free to contact me.

Week 25 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Garden Green

 

Hello and welcome to week 25 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Garden Green, and as green is my favourite colour I really didn't find it hard to work with. But I did see the card style that I made for this project on Pinterest and I thought I'm going to give this one a try. I don't know what they called it and there wasn't any name for me to give credit to. So I'm calling it an inside Flip card.

Well I purchased this set back at the beginning of the Mini catalogue and I had a few idea's about what I wanted to do with it and this was one of them. This set is called Warmest Heart Bundle. I love these little thermos's they are so cute. Anyway I stamped them in Bubble Bath and Garden Green to match the DSP and but out the 3 thermos's colouring the cup on the top so that it looked rounded.  I added my Garden Green layer to a Basic White card base and added the DSP from the Delightfully Eclectic papers. Finishing off the front of the card with a sentiment from the same bundle.

But the magic of this card happens when you open it. You have these lovely 3 flaps inside that move with the card. I also added the Garden Green layers to the inside of the card and stamped the flowers, again from the same bundle. But I added more DSP to the flaps to add some extra interest. 

As you can seen the flaps can be seen from any angle when the card is being displayed. If you would like to know more about this card design or the product that have been used please feel free to contact me. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue and the 2023 Mini Catalogue.

Week 12 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Berry Burst

 

Hello and welcome to week 12 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Berry Burst. I love this colour and am so glad that it has returned. I decided that I wanted to do another of the Fancy Fold cards that everyone knows I love doing. So I have chosen the Flip Flap card and I really love how it pops in Berry Burst.

I actually started my card with a Bubble Bath card base and then stamped it using Berry Burst ink and the Share a Milkshake bundle. The little hearts look really pretty against the Bubble Bath. I Then use a Berry Burst layer before the next layer of Bubble Bath. (Stamped again). Adding the Bright and Beautiful DSP to the flappers and behind really looks bright and cheery. I then stamped the Sundae's and spoons. 

I put the same sundae's and spoons on the inside of the flappers as well, but unlike the front I didn't add some Basic Pearls that I coloured to look like cherries. This is such a lovely interactive card I recon you could make this for lots of occasions.

As this is a 7x5inch card and it is mounted onto a proper card base I wanted to show off the lovely colour combo so I gave larger that normal borders. Finishing off the inside with more sundae's and spoons. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this design or the products used please feel free to contact me via email, PM or phone so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 7 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Bubble Bath

 

Hello and welcome to week 7 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we a featuring the lovely colour called Bubble Bath. This is a very pretty pink and I love it. I wanted to try a fancy fold that I hadn't made before so here it is.

 It doesn't look much when the card is closed, but when you open it all the magic is on the inside. So I started with a Bubble Bath card base and added Fresh Freesia layers before adding the DSP called Bright and Beautiful. I added a closer to the front with a magnet and stamped using the Artistically Inked Set. Finishing off with the beautiful Bubble Bath Ribbon and Iridescent Rhinestones.

 But as I said the magic happens when you open the card. You have a lovely little shopping bag on the inside that will hold a gift card or cash. You could also add a small gift as long as it's not to bulky. So I made my shopping bag from White copy paper and stamped it from the same stamp set. I added 2 ribbon handles using the same Sheer Ribbon in Bubble Bath. I also added layer to the right-hand side front and small piece on the left-hand side. I then stamped my Basic white layer for my writing panel.

 All the items used in this project can be found in the current 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this fancy fold card or the products used please feel free to contact me via Phone, Email or PM.
