Week 27 Gorgeous Grape - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and Welcome to Week 27 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring a colour called Gorgeous Grape. This is a really lovely purple colour and goes well with so many other colours. But I have a card that I made a few weeks back now and I really wanted to showcase it here.

It's a slider card. So I started with a Gorgeous Grape card base and added a Highland Heather layer. Then the DSP from the Simply Zinnia's Online Exclusive Suite. I cut out the Zinnia's from the 2 colours and added Crushed Curry centres to the flowers. The sentiment is from the Unbounded Beauty Bundle.

When you pull the ribbon on the side of the card it will slide along allowing you to see the inside of the card, and write your message. I did all the stamping in Gorgeous Grape for the inside as well as the front of the card. How funny that I laid this on my blanket that happens to be the same colour. I also coloured the flower on the inside to match the front.

As you all know by now I don't like a card that can't stand on it's own. So I added a stand, an white copy paper under it so you could see it.....lol 

The Simply Zinnia's Suite is an online exclusive product from Stampin' Up! but you will find the card stock in the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue along with the Blends.

If you would like to know more about these product of the card design please feel free to contact me.

Week 25 Fresh Freesia - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 25 of the Colour Creation Blog Hop. With this weeks feature colour being Fresh Freesia a beautiful lilac colour I really wanted to show it off. So I decided all the lovely purples in the colour range. So I used them all. I started my card with a Gorgeous Grape card base and then added at Highland Heather Layer. I then added the Fresh Freesia layer that I had stamped in Fresh Freesia ink using the Layers of Beauty Bundle. I then used the masks from the same bundle and made my Roses using the same colours as the layers along with Garden Green and Old Olive. As the main rose was to large for the front of this card I cut off a section and glue this to the side of the card as seen in the photo below.

I then added my sentiment from the Unbounded Love Bundle and used the dies that I thought really gave the front that added depth. I finished off the front with the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

My insert was kept plain and simple with just a Highland Heather layer and Basic White Card. I did all of my stamping in Fresh Freesia inside and out and a Simple flower on the inside corner to finish off.

All the items used in this project can be found in the current 2024-25 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these items of the card design please feel free to contact me.

Week 23 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Gorgeous Grape

 

Hello and welcome to week 23 of the colour creations blog-hop. This week we are featuring the colour Gorgeous Grape part of the Bights collection and it one of my favourites.

I thought it would be nice to make a box card. So I started with Gorgeous Grape card base and added Highland Heather layers and DSP from the lovely Hues of Happiness. I also used the lovely Mini Pocket Envelope dies to add a pocket to the front of the card. This way I have a present and card in one, as this holds a gift card. All the stamping was done using the Celebrating You stamp set and Gorgeous Grape Ink. I finished off the front of the card with the Pastel Pearls.

For that back of my card I once again stamped with the Celebrating you Stamp set. But keeping it plain.

So what did I put inside the box on the side of the card......Well it was one of those miniature bottles of Johnny Walker. What a great idea for someone special. I think this would look really great as a male card. 

No gift card was hurt during the making of this card (as I didn't have one)......ha ha ha. All of the card items used in this project can be found in the Stampin' Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue. I would never have purchased the little Mini Pocket Envelope dies if I hadn't had a chance to used France McFaul's on a crafty afternoon last month. But I am now loving it. I can see so many ways to use it. If you would like to know more about the product I have used or would like to purchase them, please feel free to give me a Call, email or PM so that I can help you.

week 19 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Gorgeous Grape

 

Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 19 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Gorgeous Grape, what a pretty colour I'm not a big purple person myself but it is very nice. So this week I thought I would make a lovely card using the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle (on page 106 of the Annual Catalogue) Such a lovely bundle.  I started with a Basic white card base and used the Gorgeous Grape to layer on my card then using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing fold I embossed another piece of basic white to layer over the Gorgeous Grape layer. I then add another layer (smaller) in both Gorgeous Grape and Basic white, this time I stamped the white piece using the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set and Gorgeous Grape ink. After gluing these together I added dimensionals to the back and place this on the card front. I cut out a large plain butterfly from the same bundle and then with the same size filigree butterfly I cut this out in Silver Foil Card. layering my sentiment in the same way to finish off my card front. Adding only a few Basic Pearls that I coloured for the finishing touched.

 For my insert I layered the Gorgeous Grape and white card together and then stamped down the left-hand side with the butterfly stamp. keeping the rest very simple and stamping the insert message from the Pansy Patch stamp set. All the items used in this project are in the 2021-2022 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any or all of these items please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 18 - Colour Creations Showcase - Gorgeous Grape

 Week 18 Gorgeous Grape

Hi Everyone, and welcome to week 18 of the Art with Heart Team Colour Creations Showcase. 

This week our Colour is Gorgeous Grape this is  part of the Brights Collection of colours and a lovely dark Purple. I have chosen to team mine up with Purple Posy this is one of the 2019 - 2021 In-colors and I think they look very nice together. All my Stamping is using the Gorgeous Grape ink.

I started out with a Purple Posy Card base and add the Gorgeous Grape layer and then another Purple Posy layer I also add yet another layer in the Gorgeous Grape along with Whisper White. I stamped my Poppies using the Gorgeous Grape ink and the Painted Poppies Stamp set. I used the smudgy stamp to stamp the colour of the poppies by stamping off once and then onto the images. I stamped my sentiment from the Peaceful Moments set and once again I stamped in Gorgeous Grape. I then cut this out using the die from the So Sentimental bundle. I coloured around the edge of the die cut sentiment using the Dark Highland Heather Blend pen. I also coloured some gems using the blend pen and attached the tag using dimensionals.

 

My insert was layered using the Gorgeous Grape and Purple Posy and again stamped in Gorgeous Grape. I kept the insert fairly simple and I was happy with the result.

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 and I will help you with your purchase.

Heart of Christmas 2019 - Week 13

Hi Everyone, here we are once again with another week of lovely Christmas projects to share.
This week I have decided to make a Tealight Candle Card and I have actually made 8 of them to give out to the girls I work with. The card holds 3 Tealight Candles and I think it's just a lovely way to give a small gift as well as a card to your workmates. I'm sure you could find plenty of different things to fill it with, like sweets or money or gift card.

I made this card in so many different styles that it's hard to pick a favourite but I must say that I think the one made using Purple Posy and Gorgeous Grape would have to be one of mine. I also made the Poinsettia flower using the Rooted In Nature dies I cut 14 of the small leaves and 2 large leaves and was really pleased at the result.

Here are a few more of the cards. I hope the girls like them when I give them out in about a months time. Except for the Black and white card all the items can be found in the Stampin' Up! Annual 2019 - 2020 Catalogue and the 2019 Holiday Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any of the product from the Holiday catalogue please be aware that this catalogue ends on the 2nd January 2020 so you will have to get in quick. If I can help you with your purchase please give me a call, PM or email so that I can help you.

Colour Creations - Purple Posy

Hi Everyone, well we are at the end of our Colour Creations Blog-Hop this is very sad as I have really enjoyed the challenge of using every colour that Stampin' Up! have in there range.
And with that said we are using the Purple Posy to finish on. What a beautiful colour it is as pale and delicate. As I don't have a lot of products in this colour only card and ribbon I had a bit of a challenge to make this card but I'm very happy with the result.

 I started out with a Gorgeous Grape card base and add then Highland Heather as the 1st layer and stamped tone on tone using the Floral Essence Stamp set. I coloured the centres of the flowers with my Daffodil Delight Blender pen just to make them show up better I then place another layer of card using the Purple Posy over this and add the ribbon at the join mark. I then stamped the flower from the Floral Essence onto another strip of Purple Posy in Versa Mark and Gold Embossed before cutting them into squares again I coloured the centres of the flowers with my blender pen before using both Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather to Aqua paint the rest of the flowers to give them some depth, I mounted them on to Gorgeous Grape square and added dimensionals to the back. To finish off the front I stamped Happy Birthday from the Wonderful Moments Stamp set and flagged the end and glued this under the bow, I added some basic rhinestones to the ribbon and wink of stella to the mount flowers.

Carrying the theme to the inside of the card I stamped the flowers again and Gold Embossed them as well as Aqua painted them I them mounted the Purple Posy on to Highland Heather to match the outside of the card.
All the products used in this project are available in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue, if you would like to purchase all or any of the project used here please give me a Call, Email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Colour Creations - Gorgeous Grape

Hi Everyone, We are at week 20 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop and this week the colour is Gorgeous Grape. Well I did struggle to find a project for this colour even though it's a beautiful colour. I ended up CASE-ing from a pinterest  that I found and loved so I'm going to thank the lovely lady who's card it was. Thank you Kylie Bertucci.
So this weeks card I used Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green and Whisper White card stock and the Tropical Chic stamp set.

I stamped in Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay to get the array of colours and I used White Embossing Powder for my Sentiment. I also added a few Clear Rhinestones just to finish it off.

I layered my card stock the same on the inside and outside of the card and stamped the leaves in the same colours as well.
I love this stamp set as I believe it can be used for both male and female cards.

All Items used in this project are in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue if you would like to purchase any or all of these items please give me a call or email so that I can help you with your purchase.
