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 21 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Fresh Freesia

 

Hello and welcome to week 21 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Fresh Freesia. This colour is part of the 2021-2023 In Color Range. It's a very pretty Lilac and so easy to work with. 

This week I have chosen to make a fancy fold card that until last week I had never heard of, It's called a 3rd Fold Card. 

 A really different design than I have every seen before. But I thought I would give this one a go. So I started with a Garden Green card base and added my layers in Fresh Freesia and them my DSP layer Tea Boutique. Adding a topper using the Cup of Tea Bundle.

 

As you can see the card looks like a gate fold but that's the thing it's only a half gate fold. The insert I layered with just a Basic White stamping in Garden Green and Fresh Freesia. I also added the same layers to the Right-hand bottom corner so that when the card is closed it looks symmetrical. I thought this looked better.

There is plenty of room to write your message even with the extra panel added to the right-hand side. This is a 5 1/2 inch (14cm) Square card and I really love the way it turned out. 

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2022-2023 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this card or the products used, please feel free to contact me Via email, PM or Phone.

Week 4 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Sweet Sorbet

 

Hello and welcome to week 3 of the 2022-2023 Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring the 4th of the new Incolors Called Sweet Sorbet. It's a really pretty red colour with a hint of pink (well that's what I think anyway).

I have chosen another fun fold for you all and this one is an old one. It's a Diamond top card, but I have done it as a DL size card. Using the Hello Ladybug bundle for decoration. I'm so glad this one is carrying over from the Jan-June 2022 mini Catalogue.

I started my card with a Sweet Sorbet card base and added a Crumb Cake layer before adding a DSP layer form the Tea Bouquet papers. I then stamped the leaves from the Hello Ladybug bundle and fussy cut them out. I stamped my sentiment onto one of them and added the punched out ladybug to the other. I placed dimensionals under the lower leaf and under the ladybug. I finished off with the beautiful Iridescent Rhinestones.

My insert is very plain as always with just some flowers from the Ladybug stamp set stamped using Sweet Sorbet ink and memento for the stamped message. All the items used in this project can be found in the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these products please feel free to give me a call, email or PM so that I might help you.

Week 2 Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2022-23 Parakeet Party

 

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to week 2 of the 2022-23 Blog-Hop. This week our 2nd Incolor is Called Parakeet Party. This is a really lovely bright green. Beings that green is my favourite colour I really didn't have any problems working with it.

 I decided I would make another fancy fold card this one I am calling "Hidden Gift Card Holder Card" What a mouthful ah! 

 

This time I started my card with a Garden Green card base and added the Parakeet Party as my layer along with the beautiful Tea Boutique DSP. I also used the Cup of Tea bundle and the Color & Contour Bundle for this project. Stamping my flower in Parakeet Party, all the other stamping was done in Garden Green. I finished off the front with the beautiful new gems called Glossy Dots Assorted. My front flap was cut from the dies in the color & Contour set. 

 As you can see there is a hidden pocket inside the card for you to place a gift card. This design is so versatile that I think it could be used for all occasions. I really loving the new Incolors, I hope you will give them a try out. If you would like to know more about the Stampin' Up! Colour range or product please feel free to give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 1 Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2022-23 Orchid Oasis

 

Hi everyone, Yes that's right we are heading around the Stampin' Up! Colour pallet again. We will be starting with the new Incolors for 2022-2024, and they are so beautiful and bright you are going to love them. Our 1st colour is called Orchid Oasis. This is a lovely purple/blue colour and I love it. (a bit bias).

I thought I would do a square card for a change and decided I wanted to water paint the flower. So I started my card with a Orchid Oasis card base and added a Basic White layer then a layer from the Tea Boutique DSP (which is so pretty) I curled over the top corner and added 2 tags from the Tailored Tags dies add a couple of flowers from the Hues of Happiness DSP and some Evening Evergreen ribbon. I stamped my flower and using my water painter brush painted the main flower. Finishing off the front with the beautiful iridescent Rhinestones.

I finished off the inside of my card very plainly not to take anything away from the outside. All the stamping was done with memento and Orchid Oasis ink pads. All the items used in this project are in the Current Annual 2022-23 Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or would like to purchase them please feel free to give me a call, email or PM.
