Week 17 Cherry Cobbler - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 17 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Cherry Cobbler, and as the name Suggests this is a really lovely rich red colour. So I decided to make a Christmas card. I started with a Cherry Cobbler card base and added a Garden Green layer then placing the DSP from the Sentimental Christmas pack to the front. I than used a carry over set from last season Called Trucking Along (this can be found in the online exclusives), and the Merry Christmas was from the Reindeer Fun stamp set. I finished off the front with some lovely Shaded Spruce sheer ribbon and some peppermint dots.

This is a special kind of card as it has a pop up gift card holder on the inside. So I made my pop up section and gift card holder using Cherry Cobber and added layers to match the same as the front of the card. I then added my insert beneath to pop up.

In the photo above you can see how the pop up stands up and the pocket for the gift card. I love the way this card turned out. I can see me making a few for family members. But This is one of those cards that could be made for so many different occasions. All the items in this project except the gift card can be found in the new Sept-Dec 2024 Mini Catalogue that will go live on the 4th September, or in the annual catalogue and online exclusives.

Week 16 Calypso Coral - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to week 16 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour if Calypso Coral, it a lovely rusty colour that lends it's self to so many different styles. This week I have chosen to use the Online Exclusive Bundle Latte Love. This set can be purchased as a stand alone stamp set or in a bundle with Coordinating Dies. Or you can purchase the suite that means it comes with designer series paper, Adhesive backed Swirl dots and Polka dot Trim. These all coordinate beautifully.  So my card today is a Panel card, and I started with a Calypso Coral card base and added a Lemon Lolly layer before attaching the DSP from the suite.

I then added 2 layers of deckled circles and cut out 3 coffee cups from the DSP I stamped my sentiment onto the Lemon Lolly circles using Calypso Coral ink. Added my coffe cups and a few of the swirl dot. But it looked not quite right so I added the coffee stains and rings to finish off the front of the card.

This card stand up like a tower card and folds flat to fit into a regular envelope. But I hear you ask where do you sign this card, well that is on the back.

I added a Lemon Lolly layer along with a Basic White layer to the back of the card. I stamped my message in Calypso Coral. I also added some more coffee stains and rings. But once again it didn't look finished. so at the edge of the DSP there are some of the cup that are only parts so I cut one of these out and added it to the top left-hand side. Yep that made it look finished to me. (happy Chappy).

All the items used in this project are current and can be found either in the 2024-25 Annual catalogue or through the online Exclusive section of the website. If you would like to know more about these product or the card please feel free to contact me.

Week 15 Cajun Craze - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello everyone, and welcome. I'm back from a lovely weeks holiday in Singapore where the weather was just perfect. So I missed out on making a card for the Bubble Bath week, sorry about that. But here we are at week 15 with Cajun Craze. This is a funny colour to work with for me but I did enjoy making this one. Using some of the nice new products from the annual catalogue. 

I started with a Cajun Craze card base and added a Garden Green layer to the front and the some Basic White that I cut into panels and arranged haphazardly. I then had a play with the new Layers of Beauty Masks. I used Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral and Cajun Craze for my roses and Garden Green and Old Olive for the leaves. They turned out just lovely in these colours.

I then added a sentiment tag along the bottom of the card front, in Cajun Craze and Basic White stamping in Cajun Craze from the Country Birdhouse Stamp set. Finishing off the front of the card with the online exclusive sequins. I kept the inside of my card plain and simple as always, using a Garden Green layer and Basic white. I stamped the small flower from the Layers of Beauty bundle and the Happy Birthday from the Unbounded Love bundle. I coloured the flower using the blends so that it would match the front of the card.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 annual catalogue and the online Exclusive section of the web site. If you would like to know more about these product of any others please feel free to contact me.

Week 13 Boho Blue - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to Week 13 of the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. our feature colour this week is yet another blue, called Boho Blue. Another pretty colour. I have chosen an old classic style for this card and once again using the Country Flowers Bundle. This set is really getting a workout.

I have made an Easel card, this one had a raised front rather than a stopper. I started with a Boho Blue card base and added Blueberry Bushel layer before added the Countryside Inn DSP layer. I added these same layers to the riser and main image section. I then added a Basic White layer to that section as well that I had embossed using the So Swirly Embossing Folder. I then stamped my Stool, Teapot and Flowers From the country Flowers Bundle. Coloured them all and cut them out. I attached all of these with dimensionals. Adding some more of the pretty little flowers and leave to add more interest to the card.

From an angle you can see how the card stand up.

I have kept the writing panel plain and simple as the front of the card says it all. So only have layers in Blueberry Bushel and Basic White. But stamping in Boho Blue.

All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to purchase any of these item I would love to be able to help you. Please feel free to contact me.

Week 12 Blueberry Bushel - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and Welcome, wow here we are at the 1/4 way point. That's gone quick. This week we are featuring Blueberry Bushel. This is a mid blue colour and another colour that I tend to not use to much. I have levitated back towards the Country Flowers bundle and Country Woods DSP. I do really like these and they go together so well.

I used Wild Wheat card for my base and added a Blueberry Bushel layer, before added the Country Wood DSP layers. I had a small cut off of the same paper, turned it over and place this 2/3rd the way down the front. I then stamped and coloured the Stool, Teapot & Flowers from the Country Flower Bundle. Cutting them out and placing them onto the front of the card. I used the Unbounded Love bundle to stamp my sentiment and cut out the frames for it. Finishing off the front of the card with the Incolour Resin Dots.

The inside of my card is a little different. With have both sided decorated. This card is called a Double inside Pocket card. So I started with Blueberry Bushel layers and added the DSP on the right and then folding down the left-hand corners on 2 pieces to make pockets. I then attached these to the left-hand side of the card. I then make 2 small tags to go into the pocket with the same flower on them and a little message of encouragement on them. It a little different but I think you could do this for either male or female. I finished off the inside with a smaller piece of Basic White to write my message onto. All of these items are in the currant 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product please feel free to contact me.

I then stamped the Zinnia flower and coloured with Blackberry Bliss blends I also stamped the leaves to match. Cutting these out I attached them to the front of the with dimensionals. I used the Unbounded Love Bundle to cut out the tag and stamped the words from the Simply Zinnia stamp set. I finished off the front with Adhesive backed Metallic Gems.

Week 10 - Berry Burst Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and Welcome to week 11 of the colour creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Berry Burst, I love this colour it is so pretty. I decided that I wouldn't make a card for you all to see this week, as I was making gift boxes for my YOUTUBE channel, and thought I would love to share this one with you all.

I started out with Berry Burst card stock and using the Simply Zinnia stamp set I stamped tone on tone the large flower all over the card stock. I did that on the piece of card for the front pocket as well. I then made up the Back Pack and added some DSP from the same suite. I place magnets under the flaps so that they can be opens and you can place a lovely gift inside. This bag measures 5inches (13cm) tall 3 3/4 inches (9.5cm) Wide and 1 1/2 inches (3.8cm) deep. So it's a really good size.

I added straps to the back so that it really does look like a Back Pack. I ended up making 4 of these in all, as I really did love the way they turned out. I even did one in male colours so that I could give it to a man and it also really looks good.

All of these items are from the Online exclusive catalogue. The only item that is not available from Stampin' Up! are the magnets. If you would like to know more about this little gift box or the products used please feel free to contact me. I know that 2 of them will be going to some little girls I know and they will love them.
