Week 36 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Old Olive

 

Hello and welcome to week 36 of the colour creations blog-hop. This week our feature colour is Old Olive. It's a lovely green and as you would know if following the blog green is my favourite colour. So I really didn't have much of an issue working with it. But I chose to pair it with Crushed Curry. and they are the only colours that I used.

So I started my card using a Crushed Curry card base and added the Old Olive layer. Using the DSP from the Sale-a-brations catalogue as the next layer. I then stamped all of my tools for the lovely Trusty Tools Bundle that is in the 2024 Jan-April Mini Catalogue. (so great to see a lovely male stamp set) I then coloured the handles on the Hammers and Spanners using the Old Olive blends. Stamping the Centre of the tape measures and the sentiment tabs in Old Olive. Adding a couple of silver spanners as well to finish off the front of the card along with some Iridescent Rhinestones.

This card design is called a 3 Towers card and I think that the male theme really works well on it. I'm really loving this set and have used it many times already and can see it being used even more. To finish the card I also added a writing panel to the back so you have somewhere to write your message.

This card is a larger card 7x5 inches, but I have also done this in the smaller size that also look as impressive. If you would like to know more about this design or the products used please feel free to contact me.

Week 35 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Night of Navy

 

Hi Everyone and welcome to week 35 of the colour creations blog hop. This week our feature colour is Night of Navy. I do like this colour but I did find it a little hard to come up with a design for this week.  I ended up using the same design as I have for my YOUTUBE channel (this will go live on Sunday 14th) This is a Swing Arm Card. I have made this before but I wanted to revisit it.

Here it is, I started with a Night of Navy card base and added a Basic White layer. Using the DSP from the Rock & Roll pack, as I thought this looked like some paint. I also used the Trusty Tools Bundle for the sentiment tag and paint brushes for the front of the card. I made my swing are using the deckled Circles. Finishing off the front with iridescent rhinestones.

The right-hand arm swings open so that you can open the card. When doing the inside of the card I used the Rock Star stamp set as I thought the words looked as though they had been painted. I did my insert stamping in Night of Navy. Using the nuts and bolts in the corners.

A lovely male card, I'm loving the fact that there are a few more male sets in the new Jan-April Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the card design, please feel free to contact me.

Week 34 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Mossy Meadow

Hello, welcome back, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas holiday break. So we are carrying on from where we left off last year. Meaning Week 34 is Mossy Meadow week. Being a big fan of green I really didn't have much trouble coming up with this weeks project. I decided to use the New Rock Star Suite collection from the new mini Catalogue that goes live tomorrow. I was so happy to see some really male product in this new catalogue.
 

So I started with a Mossy Meadow card base and added a Soft Sea Foam layer and the lovely Rock & Roll DSP. This DSP is in black and white so I coloured all the guitars. I then added the large plectrum cut out of Mossy Meadow card stock. I then heat embossed the microphone and sentiment tag with Silver Embossing Powder. Placing them onto the front of the card using dimensionals. Then finishing off the front using the Adhesive backed Lighting and Stars.

I used the same layering on the inside of the card and stamped from the Rock Star Bundle in Mossy Meadow. I added the lighting to add a little more interest to the inside of the card. I had the idea for this card in my head before I had even got my order, so I was really happy that it came together just how I wanted it.

These new product can be found on page 55 of the new Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or would like to purchase them please feel free to contact me.

Week 33 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Misty Moonlight

 

Hi Everyone, welcome to week 33 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop, and the last one in 2023. But we will be back 3rd January 2024 to carry on the rest of the colours. So this week we are featuring Misty Moonlight, this is a Neutrals collection colour. This is a pretty blue and goes really nicely with lots of other colours in the Stampin' Up! range. I have chosen a stamp set from the Online store, called Feathered Flight to showcase this colour. 

So I started with a Misty Moonlight card base and added a Balmy Blue layer and then the DSP from the Countryside Inn pack (I love this paper). The one that I chose has birds on it and I thought wit went with the stamp set. I then added another Balmy Blue layer with a Basic White for my Stamping. I stamped in Misty Moonlight. I added dimensionals for the back of these layers and attached off set for extra interest. Finishing off the from with Iridescent Rhinestones.

I followed the theme over to the inside of the card using Balmy Blue and Basic White, and Stamping in Misty Moonlight. I don't know who this card will end up going to at this stage. But I'm sure they will like it. I know that Hubby (Shane) and Paul liked it very much.

All the card stock used in this project can be found in the Annual 2023-24 Stampin' Up! Catalogue, the stamp set can be found in the Online store and is only available while stocks last. If you would like to more about these product please feel free to contact me.
