Week 23 Early Espresso - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 23 of the colour creations Blog-Hop.  This week we have a really lovely colour for you, it's Early Espresso. I like it, it's a really lovely dark brown and a great colour to work with.

I thought I would do a Christmas card using the Reindeer Fun bundle. So I started by using the Early Espresso for my card base and added some DSP from the same bundle. I then added another layer of Early Espresso and then Basic White. I stamped in Early Espresso and also Garden Green and Real Red. I cut out the reindeer head and glued the 3 pieces together and then glued this to the front of the card. I added the bells around his neck. Finishing off the front with some of the gold embellishments.

This is a Ribbon Pull Card so when you pull on the ribbon at the top the insert will be lifted up by the ribbon. As you can see from the next photo.

So you can write your message on the inside of the card. (That is really a pocket). Also as you all know me I don't like cards that don't stand on their own so there is a stand on the back.

It will stand with the insert popped up as well as down so it is very stable. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue and the Sept-Dec 2024 Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this design or the items used please feel free to contact me.

Week 17 Cherry Cobbler - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 17 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Cherry Cobbler, and as the name Suggests this is a really lovely rich red colour. So I decided to make a Christmas card. I started with a Cherry Cobbler card base and added a Garden Green layer then placing the DSP from the Sentimental Christmas pack to the front. I than used a carry over set from last season Called Trucking Along (this can be found in the online exclusives), and the Merry Christmas was from the Reindeer Fun stamp set. I finished off the front with some lovely Shaded Spruce sheer ribbon and some peppermint dots.

This is a special kind of card as it has a pop up gift card holder on the inside. So I made my pop up section and gift card holder using Cherry Cobber and added layers to match the same as the front of the card. I then added my insert beneath to pop up.

In the photo above you can see how the pop up stands up and the pocket for the gift card. I love the way this card turned out. I can see me making a few for family members. But This is one of those cards that could be made for so many different occasions. All the items in this project except the gift card can be found in the new Sept-Dec 2024 Mini Catalogue that will go live on the 4th September, or in the annual catalogue and online exclusives. If you would like to know more about these product or you would like to purchase these product, please feel free to contact me.
