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 24 Flirty Flamingo - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hi Everyone and welcome to week 24 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week we are showcasing Flirty Flamingo. I will admit it's not one of my favourite colours and neither is the colour that I paired it with. But here we go you be the judge.

So I Started with a Flirty Flamingo card base and added a Blackberry Bliss layer. I then positioned layers 2 & 3 together and moved around layer 3 until I have the angle that I wanted. gluing them together like this. I then added my DSP layer and trimmed away those layers from layer 2. Gluing these then to my layer 1 on the card front.

I stamped my sentiment directly onto the card front and finished off with the sequins from the online store. My insert is very plain just the 2 layers Blackberry Bliss and Basic White. Stamping in Blackberry Bliss. This DSP on the front of the card is from the Simply Zinnia Suit (another online store product). 

All the items used in this project are from the online store except the card stock with can be found in the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the card style please feel free to contact me.

Week 11 Blackberry Bliss - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 12 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. Can you believe we are already a quarter way through our colours. This week we are featuring Blackberry Bliss. Not one of my favourite colours I must say. But I managed to come up with something. I have made a card called a Corner Fold Down Card.  I have used the online exclusive Simply Zinnias Bundle. 

I started my card with a Blackberry Bliss card base and added a Lemon Lime Twist layer, then the DSP from the suite. I turned down the top part of the card front and added the same layers. I then stamped the Zinnia flower and coloured with Blackberry Bliss blends I also stamped the leaves to match. Cutting these out I attached them to the front of the with dimensionals. I used the Unbounded Love Bundle to cut out the tag and stamped the words from the Simply Zinnia stamp set. I finished off the front with Adhesive backed Metallic Gems.

I layered my insert for the card with the same Lemon Lime Twist card along with Basic White.

Adding some more Zinnias to the inside that I coloured in the same manner. All the items used in this project can be found either in the Current 2024-25 Annual Catalogue or as an Online Exclusive. If you would like to know know more please feel free to contact me so that I might help you.

Week 10 - Berry Burst Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and Welcome to week 11 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Berry Burst, I love this colour it is so pretty. I decided that I wouldn't make a card for you all to see this week, as I was making gift boxes for my YOUTUBE channel, and thought I would love to share this one with you all.

I started out with Berry Burst card stock and using the Simply Zinnia stamp set I stamped tone on tone the large flower all over the card stock. I did that on the piece of card for the front pocket as well. I then made up the Back Pack and added some DSP from the same suite. I place magnets under the flaps so that they can be opens and you can place a lovely gift inside. This bag measures 5inches (13cm) tall 3 3/4 inches (9.5cm) Wide and 1 1/2 inches (3.8cm) deep. So it's a really good size.

I added straps to the back so that it really does look like a Back Pack. I ended up making 4 of these in all, as I really did love the way they turned out. I even did one in male colours so that I could give it to a man and it also really looks good.

All of these items are from the Online exclusive catalogue. The only item that is not available from Stampin' Up! are the magnets. If you would like to know more about this little gift box or the products used please feel free to contact me. I know that 2 of them will be going to some little girls I know and they will love them.

Week 44 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Real Red

 

Hello all, and welcome to week 44 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring Real Red. This colour is part of the Brights Collection of colours and a really lovely bright red.

I have chosen to use one of the Online Exclusive product that went live this month (March 2024) Called Simply Zinnia. I started with a Real Red card back and add a Old Olive layer. I then added a Basic white layer that I embossed using the embossing folder that is part of the Zinnia Suite. then I made my frame that covers part of the basic white layer and added the DSP to give the framed look. I called this card a Framed Card. I then cut out the Zinnias from the dies as well as the leaves and added them to the front of the card. Finishing off the front using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch, and some of the lovely shiny Sequins.

 As always I follow the layering over to the inside of my card, with Old Olive and Basic White. I stamped my sentiment and the zinnias in Real red and only coloured the leaves with Old Olive. I love the way the frame turned out. I haven't seen this design before (not saying it's not been done before) and was happy with how it all came together.

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