Week 16 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Calypso Coral

 

Hello and welcome to week 16 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is called Calypso Coral. It's another of the rusty colours but a little lighter then last weeks Cajun Craze. Again its a colour I like very much and is really good for male card. So I have made another male card this week.

 

I wanted to use one of the Online Exclusive set so I have used the lovely Along for the Ride Bundle. This comes with a love punch for the truck. So I started with a Calypso Coral card base and then taking a Basic White piece of card I embossed using the Metal Plate 3D Folder. I also did the same for the next from layers. I used me Water Painters to splash Calypso Coral ink over the 2 pieces of Basic white to add so interest to the white sections. I stamped my Trucks in Copper Clay for the outline and Calypso Coral for the truck colour. Punching out 3 in total. I then added dimensionals to the trucks as well and the centre front panel. My words are from the Sending Sunshine Bundle.

 

I didn't add another embellishments to the front of the card as I thought the splashes was enough.

My insert was just another Basic White layer that I stamped the truck moving along the bottom. Added flowers for the rear of one of the truck. Again I stamped with the same colours as the front of the card.    All the items used in the project can be found in the 23-24 Annual Catalogue and the Online Exclusive folder. Just remember the online exclusives are while stocks last. If you would like to know more about these products please feel free to contact me via Phone email or PM.

Week 15 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Cajun Craze

 

Hello and welcome to week 15 of the colour creations Blog-Hop, this week we are featuring the colour called Cajun Craze. This is a lovely bright rusty colour and really is a colour I like. So I wanted to make a male card and another of my Fancy folds. This one being a Multi Fold card.

 

Another 7x5inch card (17.8 x 12.7cm) So looking for something male I used the DSP called Delightfully Eclectic and I thought these look like Pretzels and would go really well with the Brewed for You bundle.  So I started with a Petal Pink Card base. I then added the Cajun Craze and pretzel layers to each section of the card. I Stamped the beer steins and glasses as well as the froth. I used the Cajun Craze ink to full the glasses so that it looked like ale. I attached them to the front of the card using dimensionals. Stamping the sentiment from the same set I punched out layers using the Happy Labels Pick a Punch. and finishing off the front with one of the 2023-25 in Colour Dots. 

I added writing panels to the back of the card and stamped some more steins and the Oh Ale Yes. This card will fold flat for posting and I think that if I had made it smaller it would have lost something along the way.  All the items used in this project are in the 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the card it's self, please feel free to contact me either by email, Phone or PM so that I can help you.

Week 14 2023-34 Colour Creations Blog-hop - Blueberry Bushel

 

Hello and welcome to week 14 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is another returning colour called Blueberry Bushel. I love this blue it's so vibrant. I have chosen another Fancy Fold for you all and I love how this fold turned out.

It's called a Box in a Box card and it measures 7 x 5 inches (17.8 x 12.7cm), and it lays flat for posting. So I started with a Blueberry Bushel base and added Lemon Lolly for my layer and the Bright and Beautiful DSP.  Adding the Balloons from the same bundle. I also added the lovely Happy Birthday from the Wanted to Say die set.

I wanted the Happy Birthday to stand up and really pop so I added small pieces of card to the back and placed it above the inner boxes diamond shape section. I think it really does work good on this design.

As you can see on in the picture above. I finished off the front of the card with iridescent Rhinestones on the balloons.

I added a writing panel to the back of the card so that I had a place to write my message. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the fancy fold please feel free to contact me via email, phone or PM.

Week 13 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Blackberry Bliss

 

Hello and welcome to week 13 of the 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring the colour Blackberry Bliss. I can't say that this is one of my Favourites as it's not. I personally think it's dark but others love it. So I thought it would be nice to use the Reach for the Stars Suite as I have been itching to make a card with it. This is what I came up with.

I started with a Night of Navy card base and added the Blackberry Bliss as a layer. With the DSP having a lot of Blackberry Bliss in it I just thought it looked so good. I stamped the space ship and added the Flames using Pumpkin Pie. I added some stars using the Silver Foil Sheet to give sparkle. I then cut out the rings and added the planet the I stamped mounting them together using dimensionals. 

This is another of the winged cards that I have called Swan wings as this is a larger card. I love how the colours really blend into each other so nicely on this DSP.

I added a writing panel to the back of this card as I need somewhere to write my message. Just stamping some stars down the sides for a little bit of interest. All the items used in this project are available in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these products of the card design please feel free to contact me via Phone, email or PM.

Week 12 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Berry Burst

 

Hello and welcome to week 12 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Berry Burst. I love this colour and am so glad that it has returned. I decided that I wanted to do another of the Fancy Fold cards that everyone knows I love doing. So I have chosen the Flip Flap card and I really love how it pops in Berry Burst.

I actually started my card with a Bubble Bath card base and then stamped it using Berry Burst ink and the Share a Milkshake bundle. The little hearts look really pretty against the Bubble Bath. I Then use a Berry Burst layer before the next layer of Bubble Bath. (Stamped again). Adding the Bright and Beautiful DSP to the flappers and behind really looks bright and cheery. I then stamped the Sundae's and spoons. 

I put the same sundae's and spoons on the inside of the flappers as well, but unlike the front I didn't add some Basic Pearls that I coloured to look like cherries. This is such a lovely interactive card I recon you could make this for lots of occasions.

As this is a 7x5inch card and it is mounted onto a proper card base I wanted to show off the lovely colour combo so I gave larger that normal borders. Finishing off the inside with more sundae's and spoons. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this design or the products used please feel free to contact me via email, PM or phone so that I can help you with your purchase.

Week 11 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Basic Gray

 

Hello and welcome to week 11 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring Basic Gray. Not one of my faves that's for sure. So I hummed and Ahhhhhh ed about what to make and decided I want to try the Patina look. So I got out a Stamp set and Embossing folders and gave it a try.

I decided I was going to use the Sweet Citrus bundle, so placing Basic Gray ink onto my Embossing Folder to start the process. I added Old Olive and Balmy Blue ink with my blending brushes and then I added some Gold embossing powder. I don't think the photo really does it justice, it looks better in real life.

So I mounted my Patina panel onto Basic Gray card and then attached this to a Slate Gray card base. I finished off the front of the card with a saying from the same set. That I stamped in Basic Gray. added just a few Iridescent Gems.

I carried the theme over to the inside of the card stamping in Basic Gray and adding a touch of Old Olive and Balmy Blue. Not bad of my first attempt, if I must say so myself.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any or all of these product please feel free to contact my via email, phone or PM.

Week 10 23-24 Colour Creations Blog-Hop - Balmy Blue

 

Hello and welcome to week 10 of the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog-hop. This week our feature colour is Balmy Blue. This is a really pretty blue I really like it, and it part of the Subtles collection of colours. 

I wanted to do a very special card (not that I know who will be getting it yet), and I had seen this one done a few time so I thought I would give it a try. 

This card is called a Concertina Pocket card, even though the front looks very plain it's when you open up the card that the magic begins. So I started with a Night of Navy card base and added the Balmy Blue layer and the beautiful Countryside Inn DSP, the little flowers are in Balmy Blue. I used the Color & Contour dies for the sentiment on the front along with some iridescent Rhinstones. But wait for it I will open the card for you......

Well what do you think? I have layered the inside of the card with the same DSP as the front and then added the 2 pockets. Finishing off the inside with the concertina fold along the bottom. I added 2 tags from the Tailor Made Tag dies in the pockets. The ribbon for the tags and to tie the card closed, is Inner Braid Ribbon. I must admit I was very happy with how these colours all go together so well. But I needed somewhere to write my message, so I added a writing panel to the back of the card.

I can see me making a few more of this style as I think it would be great for a male or Christmas Card as well. All the Items used in this project can be found in the 23-24 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the design please feel free to contact me either via Phone, Email or PM.
