Week 22 Daffodil Delight - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

Hello and welcome to week 22 of the colour creations blog-hop. This week we are staying with the yellow as the colour is called Daffodil Delight, this is a lovely bright yellow and really does remind you of daffodils. I have chosen to do another little goodie box for you again this week. As I have been trying to do a few different things ready for Christmas. This weeks goodie box is using the Country Birdhouse Bundle and Country Woods DSP.

I started with Daffodil Delight card to give the birdhouse some strength and added the DSP layer over the top. I cut the platform and roof trim from Daffodil Delight to make it look bright and cheerful. Adding a few flowers in Bubble Bath . Then stamping and colouring the little birds in Daffodil Delight.

Making the little box section was really easy and it does hold a love of the chocolates. As you can see from the photo, also you can see that the back of the goodie box is also the same shape as I cut out 2 sets of the birdhouse.

The back of the box was assembles the same as the front leaving off the bird hold and decorations. These are so cute I think I will be making a few more. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 Annual Stampin'Up! Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product please feel free to contact me.

Week 21 Crushed Curry - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and welcome to the Art with Heart Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week our feature colour is Crushed Curry, and yes it does look like curry powder. I thought I would do something a little different this week, it's not a card. It's a gift card or Money holder, and it hangs.

I started my project using Crushed Curry for the main card stock and added DSP from the Sentimental Christmas Suite. 

It's a cute little hanging box to hang in the Christmas tree, you could put a tag on it with the persons name if you wished. It closes using the sentiment tag at the front. Which comes from the Peaceful Season Bundle. The ribbon is the Frayed Grosgrain. I Stamped in Pretty Peacock and finished with the Drusy  Embellishments.

It's big enough to slip a gift card or some money into the box and a great idea when you don't know what to buy someone for Christmas. If you would like to know more about this design or the products used please feel free to contact me.

Week 19 Copper Clay - Colour Creations Blog-Hop 2024-25

 

Hello and Welcome to the Colour Creations Blog-Hop. This week we are featuring the colour Called Copper Clay. This is a lovely rich clay colour, and really great for men's cards. So this week I have a fancy fold called a Flip Card and I have used the bundle called Tune In. This is a really cute bundle with an old style TV set with antenna's and some really great sentiments.

So I started my card with a Copper Clay base and added an Early Espresso layer and then some DSP from the Take to the Sky Suite. I then added the TV set that I cut out in Early Espresso. I then added the screen in Basic White and stamped it with my Message. I added Gold knobs and speaker panel and the Silver antenna and sound accents to finish off the front of the card. When you flip the card using the pull tab at the bottom you get to the next section of the card.

Here you get 2 more message sections. So I added the words New Flash at the top with more of the sound accents and layers this onto some more Early Espresso. Then at the bottom I added the Happy Birthday from the Tune In bundle. I also added a stand to the back of the card so that it stands on it's own, as you all know I don't like a card that can't stand on it's own. (sorry no photo of that).

As you can see this card stands and you can view it open or closed. All the items used in this project can be found in the 2024-25 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. If you would like to know more about these product or the fancy fold please feel free to contact me.

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.
