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.

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 - Crumb Cake

Hi Everyone, we are now at week 13, and this weeks colour is Crumb Cake. Wow this was going to be a challenge I thought, I had to make a card for my good friend Denis' Birthday and this is what I came up with. It just seemed to go together as if I had planned it that way.

I used the crumb cake card for my base and added wood Textures D.S.P. to the front of the card along with a small strip of glimmer paper. I cut out 2 square using the layering square framelits one in crumb cake and the other in gold foil sheet. and my 3 banners as in Black, Early Espresso and Crumb Cake. I then stamped the tree from the Rooted in Nature Bundle in Early Espresso ink and cut it out.

I layered this all up using dimensionals and stamped my sentiment using the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set. I wrapped a small amount of the Mini Sequin Trim around the sentiment squares and added a gold faceted gem.

I added a very vanilla insert and stamped my insert message along with a few leave. I was so pleased with the way this card turned out and Denis loved it.
All the items used to make this card can be found in the 2018-2019 annual catalogue. If you would like to purchase all or any of these product please contact me so that I can help you.
Hugs Diane.

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 - Blueberry Bushel

 

Hi Everyone, this is week 6 of the Blog Hop and this week the colour is Blueberry Bushel.  A beautiful rich blue, this colour is one of the New 2018 - 2020 In Colours. I'm sure it's going to be a winner.

My Card this week uses the Blueberry Bushel as a mat layer on a whisper white card base, followed by another mat layer of whisper white. I have then used my aqua painter and painted this layer with the Blueberry Bushel ink, giving a washed effect. I then stamped the scene from the Waterfront Stamp Set and using my layering circles I cut out the scene using my Big Shot. I also used the layering circles to make a frame to go around my scene in the same way.

I stamped my sentiment from the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set and the Birds from the High Tide Stamp Set and mounted the scene on Dimensionals and place on the front of the card.

 

I then stamped my insert using the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set of the branches and Sentiment. Before matting onto an Blueberry Bushel Mat and gluing into place on the inside of the card. 

All of these items can be found in the current 2018 - 2019 Annual Catalogue, if you would like to purchase any or all of these items please call or email me.

Thank you 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.
