Week 34 Melon Mambo - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 34 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop and the last one for 2024, we will be back on the 8th of January 2025 to finish off all the rest of the lovely colours that we haven't featured yet. But as for today we are featuring Melon Mambo. A really bright pink colour and it's a happy colour for me. I thought I would make a Shaker card this time as it's not something I do very often.

So I started with a Melon Mambo card base and I added a DSP layer in Balmy Blue from the Beautiful Bokeh 6 x 6 inch Pack (this is part of the Beautiful Butterflies Suite Collection.) I then run the Basic White layer through the die cut machine using the Starstruck Embossing folder from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. (Available from the 7th January 2025) I then used a brush to colour it with Melon Mambo ink. After that I cut out a square aperture from this piece of card. I placed the Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix on the card and added a piece of Window Sheet and the Dimensional Strips to hold them in place. I finished off the front of the card using the Medium Sized Butterflies from the Same suite, along with the sentiment tag and sentiment. I added the Sequins from the online exclusives to finish off the front.

I kept the inside the same as the front using the DSP as my layer and then the Basic White. I stamped in Melon Mambo. The blue and pinks in the Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix really work well and bring out the colours from both the papers and Mix. If you would like to know more about these product (that will be available from the 7th of January until the 5th May 2025) please feel free to contact me.

Week 31 Lemon Lime Twist - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and Welcome to week 31 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Called "Lemon Lime Twist" and I really love this colour. It a kind of bright green, and as green is my favourite colour I didn't have to try very hard to come up with a card for you all.

I started with a Lemon Lime Twist card base and added a Mossy Meadow layer and then some DSP from the Flowering Zinnias (this is an online exclusive product). I wanted to use something that I haven't used in a while so I chose the Ice Cream Swirl bundle to create a lovely Vanilla and Lime ice cream cone.

I added a piece of card to make a stick, sticking out of the ice cream with my Happy Birthday on it, and red sprinkles on the ice cream. It look so nice I had the worst craving for ice cream after......lol   I finished off the front of the card with the sequins in the same colour.

I kept the inside of the card plain and added my Mossy Meadow layer and Basic White the stamped the cherries down the left-hand side using the blends to colour them in. I just added make a wish for my sentiment.

All the items I used for this project can be found either as an online exclusive or in the 2024-25 Stampin' up! Annual catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product of the card that I made please feel free to contact me. Likewise if you would like to purchase these product.

Week 45 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Shaded Spruce

 

Hello and welcome to the Colour Creations blog-Hop. This week (and we are getting close to the end now) we are featuring Shaded Spruce. This to me is a lovely Christmas Green colour. As Green is my favourite colour I didn't have much trouble coming up with a card. I used the Bee My Valentine Bundle. But I didn't make a Valentines card. I just love that little Bee.

I started with a Shaded Spruce card base and added a Pool Party layer. Then I added my DSP from the bundle I used the Colour & Contour bundle to cut the edge of the DSP and the centre for my Bee to sit on. I also added some Basic white to the centre piece and stamped it. I then cut out the bee and stamped his wings onto Vellum I finished off with some lovely Sequins.

I followed the theme over to the inside of the card with the honey comb and bee trails. I think this will make a lovely Birthday card for someone special. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue and the Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalogue from Stampin' Up!.  If you would like to know more about these product or my design please feel free to contact me.
