Week 30 Higland Heather - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 30 of the Colour Creations Blog-hop. We are an Australian team of stamper who enjoy creating and highlighting a different colour from the Stampin' Up! range each week. This week our collour is called Highland Heather, it a lovely light purple colour and I do like it very much. I have chosen to use the Attention Shoppers bundle with it this week and it went together just as I had imagined it.

I started with a Highland Heather card base and added a Blackberry Bliss layer and then the DSP from the To Market Suite. I then cut out 2 deckled circles one in Highland Heather and the other in Silver Mirror card, different sizes. I also cut out the shopping trolley in Silver and Early Espresso. I stamped 6 of the Shopping bags and coloured them in an array of different colours, piling them into the trolley.

I also stamped my message and embossed with silver embossing powder. I then mounted the trolley onto the front of the card using dimensionals. I didn't add any bling to the front of the card as I thought it would get lost among the silver mirror card.

With my insert I used another layer of Blackberry Bliss and then Basic White. Stamping my sentiment in Highland Heather and then another shopping bag that I coloured. This bundle is really great for those shopaholic's out there. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue.

Week 19 Copper Clay - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and Welcome to the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring the colour Called Copper Clay. This is a lovely rich clay colour, and really great for men's cards. So this week I have a fancy fold called a Flip Card and I have used the bundle called Tune In. This is a really cute bundle with an old style TV set with antenna's and some really great sentiments.

So I started my card with a Copper Clay base and added an Early Espresso layer and then some DSP from the Take to the Sky Suite. I then added the TV set that I cut out in Early Espresso. I then added the screen in Basic White and stamped it with my Message. I added Gold knobs and speaker panel and the Silver antenna and sound accents to finish off the front of the card. When you flip the card using the pull tab at the bottom you get to the next section of the card.

Here you get 2 more message sections. So I added the words New Flash at the top with more of the sound accents and layers this onto some more Early Espresso. Then at the bottom I added the Happy Birthday from the Tune In bundle. I also added a stand to the back of the card so that it stands on it's own, as you all know I don't like a card that can't stand on it's own. (sorry no photo of that).

As you can see this card stands and you can view it open or closed. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the fancy fold please feel free to contact me.

Week 48 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Starry Sky

 

 

 Hello and welcome to week 48 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. Well we are really getting to the pointy end as there are only 2 more week to go. This week we are featuring a retiring Incolour called Starry Sky. Not one that I found myself using very much, in fact I have only just unwrapped my ink pad for this card. But anyway I wanted to use that lovely Reach for the Stars Bundle one last time as I really love this bundle and have used it a lot. I thought I would keep it pretty simple to feature the paper and dies more than anything else. So I started with a Starry Sky Card Base and added a Silver Foil layer and then the lovely DSP (Stargazing)  I cut the planet out of the DSP as well and then used the Silver Foil to the rings. I stamped the sentiment tag and punched it out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I then used my Dauber to colour the edges of the tag with Starry Sky ink, Finishing off the front with the love Iridescent Rhinestones.

 

 I also kept the inside of my card simple as well by just stamping onto Basic White card using the Starry Sky ink. I also used the dauber again around the edges so that it wasn't as bigger contrast.

 

This card would suit a male or female, but at this stage I have no idea who will be getting it. All the items used in this Project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. As this catalogue will be ending very soon and all of these product will be retiring. I would recommend that you get in quick if you would like them.

Week 43 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Pumpkin Pie

 

Hello and welcome to the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. we are now getting to the pointy end of the colours with only 7 more weeks to go after this. Our feature colour this week is Pumpkin Pie, a really lovely Orange and part of the Brights collection of colours. So with that in mind I decided I would use some of the lovely Stargazing DSP and the Reach for the Stars Bundle for this weeks project.

I started by using Pumpkin Pie for my card base making a cutaway front card design. I added Basic Black for my 1st layer and then the Stargazing DSP layer to both pieces of the front. I then stamped using my Versa Mark ink and Silver embossed my sentiment onto the DSP and then the astronaut on Black card embossed in silver mounting them with dimensionals. Finishing off the front with a few silver stars.

As the front of the card is cut away you can see some of the inside, so I added the Basic Black and Basic White layers to the inside. Stamping in Black Memento. I kept the inside very plain as I didn't want any stamping to be seen from the outside of the card.

This is such a simple design and yet very effective. I love the way this one turned out as well. All the items used in this weeks project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this card design or the product that I used please feel free to contact me via email or PM.

Week 20 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Crushed Curry

Hello and welcome to week 20 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our colour if Crushed Curry and as the name implies this is a rich mustard Yellow. It's not one of my go to colours, but it's still a lovely rich colour. This week I have chosen to make a Never Ending card with a difference. I'm also using the Stargazing Suite. I love this Suite.

Okay this is my card at 1st glance it really doesn't look like much, but it will stand up and I have made this as a really large card at 8 x 8 inches. But it could very easily be sized down. I used the lovely DSP that goes with the suite along with the dies. So starting with a Crushed Curry base scored and cut my card  before added the DSP layers. when you fold this card through it's Never Ending sequence you get to see the other elements on the card.

So 1st you fold the top back and then the bottom. Now fold the sides back and you end up with a triangle shape.

From there you fold the bottom down and you get a Christmas Tree Shape, then the top back. This is where you get to see the spaceman and Ship. once you have fold the side back you and turn the card over to see the back and the writing panel. This is a little different to the regular sort of Never Ending card but I thought I would give it a go. Even though it's a flat piece of card it will stand on it's own. I cut out a few stars from the Silver Fold card to use as embellishments on the back sky areas of the card.

All of the product used in this can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this design or the product used, please feel free to contact me via Email, Phone or PM. So that I might help you with your purchase.

Week 13 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Blackberry Bliss

 

Hello and welcome to week 13 of the 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring the colour Blackberry Bliss. I can't say that this is one of my Favourites as it's not. I personally think it's dark but others love it. So I thought it would be nice to use the Reach for the Stars Suite as I have been itching to make a card with it. This is what I came up with.

I started with a Night of Navy card base and added the Blackberry Bliss as a layer. With the DSP having a lot of Blackberry Bliss in it I just thought it looked so good. I stamped the space ship and added the Flames using Pumpkin Pie. I added some stars using the Silver Foil Sheet to give sparkle. I then cut out the rings and added the planet the I stamped mounting them together using dimensionals. 

This is another of the winged cards that I have called Swan wings as this is a larger card. I love how the colours really blend into each other so nicely on this DSP.

I added a writing panel to the back of this card as I need somewhere to write my message. Just stamping some stars down the sides for a little bit of interest. All the items used in this project are available in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these products of the card design please feel free to contact me via Phone, email or PM.

Week 45 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Shaded Spruce

 

Hello and welcome to the Colour Creations Blog-Hop, this is week 45 of 50 so we are getting close to the end of the hop. This week our colour is called Shaded Spruce, a lovely green that is part of the Regals Collection. in the collection you will find matching Card, Ink and Markers as well as Blends light and Dark. I have chosen an older bundle to share with you all today. This bundle can be found on page 73 of the Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue.\, and is called Forever Fern. 

I started with a Basic White card base and added the Shaded Spruce layer, I then added a Mint Macaron layer that I stamped using Shaded Spruce ink stamped off once. I then stamped the leaves in Shaded Spruce, Mint Macaron & Old Olive and cut them out using the dies. I finished off with a little bit of Silver Leaves. I then added the sentiment layers and stamped in Shaded Spruce. I added a few 2021-2023 Opal Rounds and splashed around the Wink of Stella to add a little sparkle.

I layered the inside of my card using Shaded Spruce and Basic White.  I stamped the Leaves in Shaded Spruce but I didn't add a sentiment message to the inside of the card, as the words on the front can be used for many occasions.

A simple card with plenty of uses.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this project or the products used please feel free to contact me via Email, Phone or PM.

Week 40 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Poppy Parade

Hello and welcome to the colour creations Blo-Hop. This week our feature colour is Poppy Parade. This is a really lovely bright red, and is part of the Bright Collection. I wanted to do another card using the Legendary Ride Bundle. So here it is
 

I started with a Basic Black card base and added a Poppy Parade layers and then the DSP from the Suite, that is called Ready to Ride. I then added another Basic Black layer then the Poppy Parade and another DSP layer I fish tailed the end of all 3 layers. Added another couple of layers in Basic Black and Poppy Parade. These I cut out using the layering Circles. I only wanted the word Legendary on the front and that fitted on just perfectly. I assembled the Bike and added this to the circles along with some of the Studs.

I ended up making a second card the same for my YOUTUBE channel to show how to assemble the bike. My hubby and our boarder loved them both. 

I layered my inside of the card to match the front. Stamping the motorbike along the bottom. At this time I don't know who will end up with these cards but I think they are going to love them.

Week 30 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Mint Macaron

Hello and Welcome to week 30 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. we will be featuring the colour Mint Macaron. As green is my favourite colour I really didn't have any problem with this card. I wanted to keep it very simple so I made a Christmas card, in a DL size.

I started with a Mint Macaron Card base, this colour is part of the Subtles collections. I then added a silver foil layer and then another Mint Macaron Layer that I stamped with Versa Mark and Embossed with Silver Embossing powder and the leaves from the Leave of Holly Stamp set. I then added my Sentiment tag that I made to fit across the width of the card and stamped Christmas Wishes from the same set. 

 

I attached this using dimensionals and finished off with the lovely Festive Pearls in silver. plain and simple but I think that it's effective.

 My insert was stamped using Mint Macaron ink placing the leaves in the top and bottom corners and peace and joy in the middle. once again plain and simple. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue and the July- Dec 2022 Mini Catalogue.

Week 10 Colour Creations Blog-Hop Blushing Bride

 

Hi All, and welcome to week 10 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we have a lovely Pink for you it's called Blushing Bride. This colour is part of the Subtles Collection and is a very pretty pale pink colour. I have designed my card using some of the New Sale-A-Bration Silver & Gold DSP. I have chosen the Silver to work with and as the paper is white I used my Blending Brush to colour the paper Blushing Bride. I coloured heavier in some places to give a bit of a mottled look. So starting with a Blushing Bride card base I added a Silver Foil Sheet and then the Coloured DSP. I then used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out 2 square frames and attached these to the front of the card using Dimensionals. I then used the Pansy Patch Bundle to make my 2 pansy flowers with both Blushing Bride and Basic White card. I assembled these and added them to the squares. I then stamped the Happy Birthday from the same bundle to place in the Flag ended Sentiment die. To finish off the front I used the beautiful Iridescent Rhinestones.

Wow that DSP came up a treat being coloured.

I used the off cut from the DSP for the insert of my card, Stamping my sentiment from the same bundle and in Blushing Bride ink. keeping the insert very basic. I think I might finish off the front of the card with a bit of Wink of Stella on the flowers. but who knows. All the items used in this project are in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue and the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. A very feminine card indeed. If you would like to know more about these product of the Sale-A-Bration items please feel free to give me a Call, Email or PM, so that I can help you.
