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.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual catalogue or the 2022 July to Dec Mini Catalogue. Items in the mini catalogue will be discontinued at the end of the year.

Week 30 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Mint Macaron

Hello and Welcome to week 30 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. we will be featuring the colour Mint Macaron. As green is my favourite colour I really didn't have any problem with this card. I wanted to keep it very simple so I made a Christmas card, in a DL size.

I started with a Mint Macaron Card base, this colour is part of the Subtles collections. I then added a silver foil layer and then another Mint Macaron Layer that I stamped with Versa Mark and Embossed with Silver Embossing powder and the leaves from the Leave of Holly Stamp set. I then added my Sentiment tag that I made to fit across the width of the card and stamped Christmas Wishes from the same set. 

 

I attached this using dimensionals and finished off with the lovely Festive Pearls in silver. plain and simple but I think that it's effective.

 My insert was stamped using Mint Macaron ink placing the leaves in the top and bottom corners and peace and joy in the middle. once again plain and simple. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue and the July- Dec 2022 Mini Catalogue.

Week 24 Colour Creations - Blog-Hop - Granny Apple Green

 

Hello and welcome to week 24 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Granny Apple Green, and as green is my favourite colour I really enjoyed making this card. Being part of the Bright Collection I thought it would be nice to make a Christmas card.

I started me card with a Basic White card base and the layer is Granny Apple Green that I die cut using the "Split Card Textures Dies" that you will find on page 174 of the 2022-2023 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue.  I then wanted to have a play with the Window Wishes Bundle Found on Page 36 of the July-Dec 2022 Mini Stampin' Up! Catalogue. So I set about doing my scene and then added my window. Placing the candles on the window sill. 

I added the garland over the window and used the little ribbon die to place at the top. But it looked a little bare to me to I added the Festive Pearls in all of the 4 colours to add some bling. I finished off the front of the card with my Merry Wishes that I tucked behind the candles and added a few more pearls.

My insert as normal for me is very plain. I added the candles again in the bottom right-hand corner and my sentiment. I then place this onto another layer of Granny Apple Green card. I know I used a fair bit of bling on the front but I was happy with how this card turned out. I need to play with this set some more.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue and the July-Dec 2022 Mini Catalogue as stated earlier. If you would like to know more about this project or the product used please feel free to give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you.

Week 8 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Bermuda Bay

 

Hello and Welcome to week 8 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring the colour Bermuda Bay. It's a really lovely greeny blue colour and part of the Brights Collection.  I have chosen to feature this colour with ink and card stock only.  So I have used the New Christmas Scottie Bundle from the up and coming July-Dec 2022 Mini Catalogue.

I started my project with a Basic White card base and add the Bermuda Bay layers to the front and inside of my card. Then using more Basic White I stamped the Checker pattern from the Christmas Scottie Stamp set using Bermuda Bay Ink. I then layered this onto my Left hand side front panel. I stamped my sentiment and snowflakes onto the right hand side panel. I then used some Basic Black to punch out the Scottie Dog. Adding a Bermuda Bay bow. The Festive Pearls were used for the dogs eye and card front.

When the card stands up the flap on the right hand side can swing out a little. I stamped the inside on my card using Bermuda Bay Ink as well. Stamping the Stars and Merry Christmas.

This is such a quick and easy card to make and I think the little Scottie Dog looks so lovely on the front. All of the items used in this project will be available to purchase from the 1st July 2022 when the Mini Catalogue goes live. 

If you would like to know more about this fold or the product used please feel free to give me a Call, Email or PM so that I can help you.
