Week 47 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - So Saffron

 

Hello and Welcome to the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. Only 3 more week to go and we have finished all the colours in the 2022-2023 Annual catalogue. Wow I wonder what beautiful new colours we will have coming up soon. Along with a Colour fresh, which usually see's some of the more popular old colours return. That should be fun. But today we are featuring So Saffron. It's a powdery Yellow not a colour a go for very often. But I hope I did it justice.  I decided to make a card and matching gift box. So I started with a So Saffron Base for both the card and box. For the card I added a Basic white layer that I Embossed using the Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing folder.  I then coloured the fruit using my Blending brushes and So Saffron and Parakeet Party ink. Then placing a DSP layer from the Tea Boutique Papers. I finished off the front of the card using the Lovely Sweet Citrus Bundle. (I love fruit stamps) Adding a bow using the Parakeet Party ribbon and the 2021-2023 Opal Rounds. That will be retiring at the end of April.

I made my little gift box to match the front of the card. I will fill this with sherbet Lemons. YUM.... For the inside of my card I just added a Basic White Layer that I stamped with the Lemons and added my Sentiment. All the Lemons are stamped using So Saffron ink.

The fruit look as though they have all been thrown up in the air. I like that look.

Week 48 - So Saffron - Colour Creations Showcase

 

Hello and welcome to week 48 of the colour creations showcase, This week we have a lovely Happy colour called So Saffron Part of the Subtles collection this lovely soft Yellow is really easy to work with and so I have made a fun card this week.

Ice Cream any one? I started with a So Saffron card base and added a Blackberry Bliss layer I then added a DSP layer from the Ice Cream Corner papers. With the whimsical look that I was going for I added HB2U instead of the full words, using the Pattern Play Bundle (that I'm sad to see leaving us) I then stamped 2 ice cream cones in Crumb Cake and 4 scoops of Ice Cream 2 in So Saffron and 2 in Flirty Flamingo I punched them all out using the Ice Cream Maker Punch and added them to the front of the card using Dimensionals. They look good enough to eat to me.......lol

My insert I kept pretty plain with only a white layer stamped using So Saffron ink I place a Icy Pole in the bottom corner to finish it off and just a drip from the end of the Y which I thought looked cute. I'm really happy that this set is carrying over into the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue as I think I will get plenty of great cards from this set.

Colour Creations - So Saffron

Hi Everyone,
Wow here we are at week 47, this really is the pointy end of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. I for one will be sad to see it end. I really have enjoyed making cards in every colour we have and I have loved seeing all the creations from all the other Hoppers as well. We really have had some beautiful cards and I know some of us have found some colours harder to work with than others myself included.
This week our colour is "So Saffron" and being Mother's day here in Australia on the 12th May 2019 I thought I would make a Mother's Day card, I used the Apron of Love stamp set and dies which are sadly retiring on the 3rd June 2019 for my card.

I used the Garden Impression DSP for my Apron and edging along with my oven mitt and I edged the apron in tranquil tide ink to match the strings and pocket and mounted this onto a So Saffron piece of card. I cut out the tools and when I dropped them onto my card the landed just as I have them glued and I thought they just looked prefect scattered down the right-hand side. I then stamped Happy Mother's Day using the White ink pad and place clear gem stones on the front to finish it off.

I only thing I didn't like about the stamp set is it says "MOM" not "MUM" so using a cotton tip I wiped out the top of the O to make it into a U before stamping and cutting out the oven mitt I placed this on to a foam pad before adding this to the front of the card.

I then cut out 2 more mitts and added them to the inside of the card with hearts in the matching colours and then stamped the Made with Love sentiment I then mounted this onto some So Saffron card stock and glued to the inside of the card.
