Colour Creations - Merry Merlot

 

Hello Everyone, 

Here we are at the last colour creations for the year. This week the colour is Merry Merlot a beautiful red wine colour so rich and warm looking. great for any occasion.

I have chosen to make a 3d project as I needed to finish up my Christmas goodies. So I have made 2 very easy coffee mugs and filled them with sweets for my 2 youngest god Children. Not that they are that young anymore as one will be starting year 9 and the other year 10 in the new year.

 I used the Merry Merlot card for the base of the mugs and added the Dashing Along DSP and then the Gold foil for the first letter of their names. I then filled the mugs with sweets and I will make an envelope that looks like a teabag later to put the gift cards into.

These mugs are so easy to make all you need is 1 A4 sheet of card and a very small amount of DSP and of course the Envelope punch board.

This will be the last Colour Creations blog until the 8th of January 2019. So I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and Safe New Year. I look forward to catching up with everyone again then.

Heart of Christmas Week 3

Wow only 117 Days until Christmas as of the 29th August 2018 and here we are at week 3 of the Heart of Christmas Blog-Hop 2018.
My card for this week is not a new concept by I like it and I think I will be making a few of these for the Girls at work for Christmas.

 

It is called at "Box in a Card" and I think it is rather sweet. I have used the new "Dashing Along" D.S.P. as well as the "Merry Christmas to All" Bundle that goes live in the New Holiday Catalogue on September 5th 2018 as well as an old favourite Pretty Pines Thinlits (which is still in the Annual Catalogue).

I added an insert to the card in Whisper White and the main card is in Cherry Cobbler. I cut the pine cones using Crumb Cake and Early Espresso, and the leave from Garden Green. The Christmas was cut from Gold Glimmer paper.

All the products used for this project are in the 2018 -2019 Annual Catalogue and the 2018 Holiday Catalogue (that goes live on September 5th 2018) If you would like to purchase any of or all of these products please call me or PM me so that I might help you.
