Let's Craft Together Christmas Colour Challenge - Merriest Trees Tower Panel Fun Fold Card

Welcome to the Let’s Craft Together blog hop. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators in Australia. Each month, one person sets a challenge that we use for the blog hop. This month's challenge is a Christmas colour challenge set by Monique Fielder. 

I have created a Christmas Tower Panel Fun Fold card featuring Merriest Trees stamp set. It was really fun to make and was a new fun fold for me and also used some DSP from my stash (which is always a bonus!) that can still be found on the clearance rack (Fresh as a Daisy DSP.) I had fun decorating the tree with the gold tinsel and berries and deciding what colours to make the presents and bows. If only it was that quick to decorate a Christmas tree in real life.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Strip Side Panel Birthday Card with To Market DSP

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this week's blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, Fresh Freesia.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.
This week, I have chosen fresh freesia, pecan pie and blackberry bliss from the colour coach to work with. 

Even though I am not a fan of blackberry bliss, using the To Market DSP worked for my card and colour choice. I made a decorative strip side panel card and have a focal panel with exposed brick embossing folder. I made two cards and used pecan pie cardstock on one card and on the other I used basic white cardstock and a blending brush with pecan pie ink for the other panel. I wanted to see what the difference was. I think in the end, I like the basic white/blending brush panel best. (It's the one I used on the 17 card.)

I did use a retired die set (large numbers framelits) because I needed some large numbers to fill the space on my card. I also used simple said stamp set and something fancy dies along with rhinestone basic jewels. Since I was making two cards, the 17 card, is for my niece who birthday is in December (yay for being organised) and the other card is for card stash for my Grandmother. I know one of my cousin's children, (Aster) will be 6 in January.

Chain mail card swap - Legendary Ride Birthday Card

For the past few months, I have been taking part in what has been known as a chain mail card swap with fellow Aussie SU demos, although I do have a terrible habit of calling it a Chinese Whispers card swap.  (Do you remember, the game Chinese Whispers you played as a child? The message never quite came out the same at the end as it started?) Well, cards in the chain mail swap can end up that way as well.
The first card in each blog hop is an original card and then it is posted to the next person on the list and they create their card, CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) the card they were mailed and post it onto the next person on the list and it continues on and on through the list. I've loved this challenge CASEing the cards every two weeks they arrived in my mailbox and am sad this round is over. 

For our next blog hop, we are starting with Cheryl's card. I cheated and rotated this card 90° so that I could fit the motorbike from Legendary Ride in properly. Do you see the "tyre marks" on the smoky slate background? I made those using a toy car in an old inkpad. Took me a few toy cars to get the right impression but was interesting seeing the different looks the wheels created.
