Week 26 Garden Green - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

Hello and welcome to week 26 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring Garden Green, and as green is my favourite colour I didn't have any trouble coming up with a card in this colour. So my card is a take on an old fancy fold, but I cut the front away and added a centre piece. I used the Season of Green and Gold DSP along with Gold mirror card on a Garden Green card base.

 

I stamped the sentiment tag with Gold Embossing powder and cut it out using the dies from the Peaceful Seasons Bundle. I then added a little piece of gold ribbon from my stash and added the gold embellishments.

I also added the gold layer and Basic white to the inside of the card. Stamping in Garden Green and Soft Sea Foam.

All the items used in this card card from the online exclusives except the Garden Green Card that can be found in the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this project or the product used please feel free to contact me.

Week 49 - Soft Sea Foam - Colour Creations Showcase

 

Hello Everyone and welcome to week 49 of the colour creations Showcase. This week we have Soft Sea Foam for you and though this is a colour I don't use very often I was really amazed at how lovely my card turned out. 

I kept it very simple by only using minimal amounts of other colours. I started with a card blank in Soft Sea Form and added and embossed layer using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder in the same colour, this I glued down flat. I then used some of the Gold emboss Acetate sheet and a white Stitched So Sweetly Rectangle for my feature I glued these together and added Dimensionals to that back to give it some depth. I punched out the small flowers and added the gold glitter Enamel dots to the centres of the flowers. to finish off the front of the card I punch out some Sprigs in Gold Foil, White and Soft Sea Foam. 

My insert was kept very simple only a white layer that I used the Blending brush on around the edges with my Soft Sea Foam ink pad so that it soften the edges of the card. All of my stamping was done in Old Olive ink so that it didn't look so bright against the Soft Sea Foam.

Week 42 - Colour Creations Showcase - Rococo Rose

Hello All and Welcome to week 42 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Showcase. We are now getting to the pointy end of the colours and this week I we have Rococo Rose. I love this colour unfortunately it will be leaving us this year as this colour is from the 2019-2021 In-color Range. Being a beautiful Dusty Rose I find it so easy to work with.

As it's my Mum's Birthday this Saturday 3rd I thought I would make a lovely card for her to cheer her up. She is still in hospital as she has had to have a 2nd hip replacement as the 1st one didn't work. not a nice way to spend your 89th birthday that's for sure. Plus we can't all visit as you are only allowed 2 visitor per day. I started my card with a Rococo Rose Card base and added my layers starting with Just Jade and then the Butterfly Brilliance DSP I then added a flower from the Always and Forever bundle and a Silver Butterfly also from the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle. I stamped my Message and layered using more Rococo Rose card and White and finished off the front with Gold Enamel dots.

For my writing panel on the back I stamped the flower and YOU SO VERY MUCH and cut out the LOVE from the Always and Forever bundle and I think this says it all. 

It's sad to see so many of these items retiring so soon but I know I will be using them for quite some time yet.

Week 38 - Colour Creations Showcase - Pumpkin Pie

Hello all and welcome to week 38 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week we have Pumpkin Pie as our colour. It's a beautiful rich Orange and my second favourite colour so I have found this quite easy to work with. I decided to used the Rooted in Nature stamp set and an Autumn theme for my card as we are coming into this time of the year when there are so many lovely colours on the trees.

 

I started with a Pumpkin Pie card base and added a Pear Pizzazz layer that I run through my embossing machine with the Subtle Embossing Folder, I then added a Pumpkin Pie layer on an angle before stamping a white layer with White Embossing Powder and the leaf stamp. I used Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz and Crushed Curry ink pads along with my blending brushes to colour the white card to give a lovely muted background. I then stamped my sentiment with White Embossing Powder and heat set it before cutting it out using the die from the So Sentimental bundle. I mounted this to the front of my card using dimensionals and then added 2 Pear Pizzazz and 2 Pumpkin Pie leaves and some Gold Enamel dots.

My insert I used another Pear Pizzazz layer before added the white layer of which I stamped around the edge the same leaves as for the front of the card. I then stamped my sentiment using Pumpkin Pie.  I don't know who will get this card yet but I'm sure I will know the right person when it's time.

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.
