Week 42 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Pretty Peacock

 

Hello and welcome to the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Pretty Peacock. I love this colour it's so nice and yet it is a dark colour. I would call this colour a sort of greeny blue. Anyway I thought I would use the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle for this weeks project. So I started with a Pretty Peacock base card and added a Basic White layer and then a DSP layer using the Bright and Beautiful Paper. I then cut out the ice cream cone in Crumb Cake and using the same colour ink darkened the edges so that it looked more rounded. I then cut out the ice cream in Bubble Bath and Basic White to give the effect of a swirl in 2 flavours. Finishing off the ice cream with some strawberries. It looks so good I would love to eat it. I attached this to the front of the card using Dimensionals. along with my sentiment.

 I carried the Strawberry theme over to the inside of the card. I so love strawberries and I coloured these using my Real Red Blends. All the sentiment stamping was done in Pretty Peacock. I must say I really am loving this set, I think I will have to do a video of this card. What do you think?

 

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue and the 2024 Jan-April Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or my card design please feel free to contact me.

Week 41 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Poppy Parade

 

Hello and welcome to you all. This week we are featuring Poppy Parade, This is a lovely bright red colour and part of the Brights Collection. I have chosen to make a male card this week using the Trusty Tools Bundle and the DSP from the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue. I'm really loving this set as it's just so lovely for a man....

This is called a Criss Cross Card, so I started with a Poppy Parade card base and using the lovely DSP added my front layers to the card. I then punch out the Decorative Circle and added a 2inch plain circle, that I stamped with the nuts & screw stamp. I cut the tools out of the DSP and placed these on top. Attaching to the front of the card with dimensionals.  The insert for this card slides out for you to write your message onto. I stamped my message at the top and more of the nuts and screws.

But I don't like cards that wont stand up on their own, so I added a stand to the back of the card so that it can be displayed nicely.

All the items used in this project a current at the time of being published, but the DSP will finish on the 29th Feb 2024 as this is a Sale-a-Bration item. If you would like to know more about these product on the design of my card please feel free to contact me. I have no idea who will receive this card at the present time. But I'm sure they will like it as much as I do.

Week 40 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Pool Party

 

Hello and welcome to week 40 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Pool Party, this colour is part of the Subtles collection and a very pretty colour indeed. I have chosen to make a 3d Project this week, and being it's getting close to Easter I thought it would me nice. This project is also coming up on my YOUTUBE Channel on the 25th of Feb. 

So here it is a lovely little basket using the Sale-a-bration papers called Softly Stippled. The Basket it's self is in Pool Party along with the small amount of stamping. I used the Easter Bunny bundle for the Annual Catalogue and coloured using Crumb Cake Blends. 

As you can see it holds about 4 of the Cadbury Eggs, that come in a pack of 24 they are about the size of a regular Jumbo sized egg. I think I know who will get these.

Really happy how the basket tuned out. All the items used can be found in the 2023-24 Annual catalogue and the Jan-Feb 24 Sale-a-bration catalogue. But time is running out on these items so you will have to be quick if you don't already have them.

If you would like to know more about these product or the project it's self, please feel free to contact me via phone or email.

Week 38 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Parakeet Party

 

Hello and welcome to week 38 of the colour creations blog-hop. This week our feature colour is Parakeet Party. This is one of the 2022-2024 Incolours, and it will be finishing up it's stay with us in April this year. Although green is my favourite colour I couldn't take to this one very much. So I have found it hard to work with. But I decided to team it up with Night of Navy and I really like how these two colours work together.

I used the Parakeet Party for my card base and added the night of navy layer. I then embossed a white layer using the Layered Floral 3d Folder. I placed the parakeet party ink pad onto the white card to highlight some of the raised image.  I then made my Faux Pinwheel using the DSP from the Countryside Inn pack. Picking up on the Night of Navy, and finishing off the centre with the flower form the Paper Florist die set. 

I carried over the layering on the inside of the card and did all of my stamping in Parakeet Party. The stamp set used for the sentiments is from the Pansy Patch set.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue and the 2024 Jan-April Mini Catalogue. If you would like to know more about this design or the items used please feel free to contact me via email or text.

Week 37 of the Colour creations Blog-Hop 2023-24 - Orchid Oasis

 

Hello and welcome to week 37 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Orchid Oasis, This is part of the 22-24 In Colour Range So it will be ending soon. But until then lets see what I have made.

I Decided to use some of the product from the Sale-a-bration range Called Jungle Pals. This is a Multi Layered Card, and I think it came together just right.

I started with an Orchid Oasis card base and added a Very Vanilla layer and the more Orchid Oasis and so on as you can see. When I got to the DSP layer I couldn't find anything that I liked to go with it so I stamped the bird with tone on tone. before going on the other layers. Finishing off the front of the card with the brushed bronze metallic dots.

Only stamping Just for you on the front and nothing on the inside makes this card easy to you for many occasions.

Just placing another of the toucan's on the inside of the card. This one I coloured in black. All these items are available during Sale-a-brations and until the end of the Annual Catalogue. So if you would like to purchase any of them you will have to get in before that all go.

Please feel free to contact me if you wish to know more about these product or the lay out used for this card.
