Week 49 - Soft Sea Foam - Colour Creations Showcase

 

Hello Everyone and welcome to week 49 of the colour creations Showcase. This week we have Soft Sea Foam for you and though this is a colour I don't use very often I was really amazed at how lovely my card turned out. 

I kept it very simple by only using minimal amounts of other colours. I started with a card blank in Soft Sea Form and added and embossed layer using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder in the same colour, this I glued down flat. I then used some of the Gold emboss Acetate sheet and a white Stitched So Sweetly Rectangle for my feature I glued these together and added Dimensionals to that back to give it some depth. I punched out the small flowers and added the gold glitter Enamel dots to the centres of the flowers. to finish off the front of the card I punch out some Sprigs in Gold Foil, White and Soft Sea Foam. 

My insert was kept very simple only a white layer that I used the Blending brush on around the edges with my Soft Sea Foam ink pad so that it soften the edges of the card. All of my stamping was done in Old Olive ink so that it didn't look so bright against the Soft Sea Foam.

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. If you would like to purchase any of the product used in this project please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 47 - Smoky Slate - Colour Creations Showcase

 

Hello and welcome to week 47 of the colour creations showcase. We have almost come to the end of our colours except the New INCOLORS they are really beautiful and I look forward to give them a bit of a workout as well. But Today we are using Smoky Slate it's Gray and to me it's a colour for a male card but I decided I would give it a go as a feminine card instead.

I wanted to use the Forever Fern again as I really love this bundle so I used only 3 colours Smoky Slate, Basic Gray and White and this is my creation for today. I started with the White card base and stamped in Smoky Slate I only used the Basic Gray to highlight around the white card. I also rounded all the corners for a change. I added a Basic Gray bow to finish off the front of the card. Not one of my favourite cards but I really was finding it hard to work with.

My insert I kept very plain as well, I also rounded the corners and stamped with Smoky Slate. I'm please to announce that the Forever Fern Stamp set and dies are carrying over into the new 2021-2022 Annual catalogue (not as a bundle) so we will still be again to make plenty more beautiful projects with this very versatile set. If you would like to purchase any or all of the product used in this project please give me a call, email or PM so that I might help you with your purchase.

Week 46 Shaded Spruce - Colour Creations Showcase

 

Hi All, Here we are with our week 46 of the Colour Creations Showcase. This week we have Shaded Spruce for you all to get inspired with. Green is my favourite colour so I really didn't find this hard to work with. Part of the Regal Collection it was nice to work with a colour that I like. 

 

I wanted to use a bundle that is retiring at the beginning of May so I chose the Arrange a Wreath for this card and I was really happy how it turned out. I started with an Old Olive Card base and added a Shaded Spruce layer and then my DSP from the Forever Greenery set, I cut out the wreath leaves in both Old Olive and Shaded Spruce turning one over so that the leaves could be seen better I then glued them together. I added the flowers and red bow to finish off the front of the card.

I layered the inside of my card with Shaded Spruce and White card and added 2 strips down the left side I had cut out the other wreath and didn't use it on the front so I decided I would cut it down and use it on the inside I think it gives a lovely bit of interest to the insert, and saves wasting the cut piece as well. It's sad to see the Forever Greenery DSP and the Arrange A Wreath Bundle leaving us, but with so many more new product I know we will be able to create some lovely cards I can't wait to give them a go. If I can help you with a purchase please give me a call, email or PM me I will be happy to help you.

Week 45 - Seaside Spray - Colour Creations Showcase

 

Wow we are at week 45 only 5 more colours to go........but wait we are going to be showcasing the NEW INCOLORS for 2021-2023 so there are new 10 more colours to come.

This week we have Seaside Spray this is one of the colours that is retiring on the 3rd May 2021 I will be sad to see this go as I really love this beautiful pale blue. So I have showcased this with some DSP that is also retiring on the same day. 

I started my card with a Pacific Point card base and added a white layer that I embossed using the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder. I then added a seaside spray layer and my DSP layer from the Ornate Garden Specialty paper I used my blending brush to colour the paper using the Seaside Spray ink pad. I place a ribbon also in the Seaside Spray around the layers and tied a bow. I cut out 2 ovals 1 in Pacific Point and the other in white and layered them together I then cut out the LOVE from the Forever and Always dies the main wording I cut using Gold Foil Sheet. 

I kept my insert very plain by only stamping the word form the same Forever and Always bundle but I stamped the flowers from the Dragonfly Garden Bundle. I used my marker pens to colour the flowers and leaves as they are so small and didn't need to be blended. 

I know we don't have much time to purchase some of these items but if you would like to purchase them of any others please give me a call, email or PM so that I can help you with your purchase. To catch all the other lovely projects using Seaside Spray please head over to Catherine's Page Here-:
