Colour Creations - Tranquil Tide

 

Hi Everyone, it is with sad heart that we are now at the end of this lovely Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This is the last colour of the current colour pallet, we may be lucky enough to be able to bring you the 5 new In Colours for 2019 - 2021. The lucky last colour is Tranquil Tide and it will be retiring on the 3rd June 2019 so sad as I really love this colour. it may be a dark colour but i still love it.

So along with the beautiful DSP that is also retiring sad times all round.

I have managed to use so product that are either new or carrying over and they are the Tropical Chic and Floral Essence Bundle. I have made another fancy fold card called a corner fold (which I will be making a YOUTUBE Video of in late June or early July) I think it is a lovely effect and very easy to do.When I stamped my flower I stamped 2 on Whisper White and 2 on Vellum to give the look of a really full flower I really like this effect as well, I then added a faceted Silver gem to the centre of the flower.

I stamped my sentiment on the front using the White ink, and as said before the leaves are from the Tropical Chic stamp set and dies.

I decided to follow the same look to the inside of the card by added DSP and a Tranquil Tide panel and then I added a small White panel for writing onto. I thought this would add a little different view to the insert.

With most of the items used in this project retiring You will find it hard to purchase them, But the Floral Essence Bundle is a joy to use and I have made so many project with it already that I think I have worn out the stamps already hehehe......

If I can help you with any of the product used in this project please don't hesitate to give either a call, email or PM so that I can assist you.

Colour Creation - Cajun Craze

Hi Everyone, we are now up to week 8 of the colour creations blog hop. This week the colour is Cajun Craze, a rusty brown colour with very rich tones. The card I have designed this week is called a Criss Cross card, but this card doesn't stand up on it's own. I don't like cards that have to balance on the side so that you can view them, so I designed a stand that is attached to the back of the card. It will lay flat in your envelope for posting.

 I used the "Rooted in Nature" Bundle and "Natures Poem" D.S.P.
I layered my Very Vanilla card onto Cajun Craze card stock of my pull out insert. I also used my layering circles to make the sentiment for the front of the card, and stamped my leaves and cut them out using the dies and big shot.

There is plenty of space on the insert so that if you would like to add a gift card as well a write you messages you can.

Here you can see the stand that I made for the back of the card so that is stands alone. All the items used to make this card are in the 2018 - 2019 Annual Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any or all of these items please give me a call I would love to help you. Don't forget there is still time to join my team with the great July special. I will be posting a tutorial for this card in early August on my Facebook group. "Di's Den for Stamping Crafting and Tutorials" so keep a look out for it.
Hugs Diane

Colour Creations - Blackberry Bliss

Hi Everyone,
Blackberry Bliss is the colour for week 5, Wow what a lovely rich colour. I started with the Blackberry Bliss card stock for my card base and add a whisper white mat layer that I embossed using the Tufted Dynamic Impressions Embossing folder.

I then added the Nature's Poem D.S.P. and some foil sheet to the left-hand side of the card front before adding 2 layered squares on top, with my stamped sentiment. I then stamped the leaves and used the framelits to cut them out using my Big Shot.

Placing my sentiment up on dimensionals, I then place the leaves behind. I then stamped the insert to this card using the same leaves.

All of the stamping was done using the Blackberry Bliss Ink and the the Rooted in Nature Bundle.
If you would like to purchase any of these items please contact me so that I can help you.
