Week 46 Shaded Spruce - Colour Creations Showcase

 

Hi All, Here we are with our week 46 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week we have Shaded Spruce for you all to get inspired with. Green is my favourite colour so I really didn't find this hard to work with. Part of the Regal Collection it was nice to work with a colour that I like. 

 

I wanted to use a bundle that is retiring at the beginning of May so I chose the Arrange a Wreath for this card and I was really happy how it turned out. I started with an Old Olive Card base and added a Shaded Spruce layer and then my DSP from the Forever Greenery set, I cut out the wreath leaves in both Old Olive and Shaded Spruce turning one over so that the leaves could be seen better I then glued them together. I added the flowers and red bow to finish off the front of the card.

I layered the inside of my card with Shaded Spruce and White card and added 2 strips down the left side I had cut out the other wreath and didn't use it on the front so I decided I would cut it down and use it on the inside I think it gives a lovely bit of interest to the insert, and saves wasting the cut piece as well. It's sad to see the Forever Greenery DSP and the Arrange A Wreath Bundle leaving us, but with so many more new product I know we will be able to create some lovely cards I can't wait to give them a go. If I can help you with a purchase please give me a call, email or PM me I will be happy to help you.

Week 37 - Colour Creations Showcase - Pretty Peacock

 

 

 

Hello Everyone and welcome to week 37 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Pretty Peacock the is one of the 2019 - 2021 in colors and will be retiring in a few short weeks time :( 

I have chosen to make a Get-well card for my mum as she is in hospital after breaking her hip last week. She has had to have a hip replacement and will be in hospital for about 6 weeks in all. So when I go and visit her next I will take this card and a lovely bunch of flowers to her.

 

 I started my card with a Pear Pizzazz card base and added the Pretty Peacock layer, I then used to So Sentimental bundle to cut out the scalloped rectangle and then added the DSP from the Forever Fern range. I placed all of this onto dimensionals and then added the gold foil strip of the sentiment to sit on. I also used the gold fern specialty paper for the lovely fern in the left-hand top corner and then added some gold enamel dots to finish off the front.

 

My insert is very simple I used the forever fern stamp set along with the Hotdogs stamp set for my message and leaves. the words of Encouragement  I thought were very fitting for my mum.

Week 17 - Colour Creeations Showcase - Garden Green

 Week 17 Garden Green

Hi everyone and Welcome to Week 17 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week our colour is Garden Green, a beautiful rich Green and my Favourite colour. This colour is part of the Regals Collection of colours. I decided this week I would look for a sketch and copy that layout and so I set about finding something that I liked and this is the one I found.

It's a reasonably simple design but I thought it was very effective. I started with a Whisper white card base and added a Garden green 5 5/8 x 3 7/8 inch layer that I embossed using the Old World Paper 3D folder I then added a 5 3/8 x 1 3/4 inch layer of DSP from the Forever Greenery series I added the squares using the layering square dies 1 1/4 inch and the matching scalloped die that you can just see the silver foil edge of. My sentiment tag is 1 x 3 inches. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Posted for You stamp set and stamped and cut out the flower from the Dressed to Impress Bundle.

 

For my insert I smudged the ink around the edges using Garden Green and then layered this onto a Garden green layer before attaching to the inside of the card. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2020 - 2021 Annual Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any or all of these product please give me a call, email or PM me so that I can help you with your purchase.
