Stampin' Up! Meadow Dies Blended Background No Occasion Card

Today, we have week five of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Sharon Davern's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, blackberry bliss. 
I have chosen blackberry bliss, gorgeous grape and balmy blue from the colour coach to work from this week. 


Today for my card I have created a blended moody night sky featuring meadow dies. I used the blending brushes and balmy blue cardstock to create my background. Using balmy blue cardstock means I didn't have to use as much ink to to get the depth of blue I wanted. After creating the blended background I added the die cut meadow dies and some black cotton with a little tag and finished the card off with some matt black dots. 
I created this card to be a blank/no sentiment card as I thought it could be used for any occasion. I may add a sentiment on the front when I give it away or just add it on the inside.

With decorated envelope - I had some leftover blended background so I used it to decorate the envelope and inside the card

Up next we have Catherine Proctor. I can't wait to see what she is sharing.

Stampin' Up! Hats Off Bundle Four Year Old Birthday Card

Today, we have week four of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Sharon Davern's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, bermuda bay.
I have chosen bermuda Bay, rich razzleberry and crushed curry from the colour coach to work from this week. 


My youngest nephew Hunter turned 4 on Monday and I made my bermuda bay card for him. I turned to the hats off bundle to create a number 4 hat and personalised the card with Hunter's name as he is now recognising that his name starts with H. I added stars from the stitched stars dies and used the messages die to cut out the sentiment from artificially inked.


Decorated envelope

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked No Occasion Card

Today, we have week three of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Sharon Davern's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 

For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, basic gray.
I have chosen basic gray, pear pizzazz and poppy parade from the colour coach to work with. 


I have used the stunning artistically inked bundle to created a blank/no sentiment card. I love the watercolour effect the large stamp gives for the background with such little effort. After layering a few leaves and flowers you have yourself a very quick and simple card. I raised one of the poppy parade flowers up on dimensional for added interest. 
I left the card with no sentiment (as I couldn't decide what to put on it). When I give it away I may put a sentiment on it then.

Stampin' Up! Artistic Dies Thinking of You Card

Today, we have week two of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Diane Furniss' blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, balmy blue. A colour from the subtles family. 
I have chosen balmy blue, night of navy and granny apple green from the colour coach to work from this week. 


For my card today, I begun with a paint chip inspired background and used a die cut from the lovely artistic dies as my main feature. I heat embossed the sentiment on night of navy cardstock to continue with the navy from the paint chip background. I decided to make my card a thinking of you card so it could be an any occasion card. It could be for a birthday, get well soon or even a sympathy card in a pinch. I coloured the rhinestone basic jewels with a night of navy stampin' blend so they would colour match my card.

Stampin' Up! 2021 - 2023 In Colors Blog Hop Featuring Artistic Dies Thanks Card with Inlaid Embossing

Today, we have week one of the next round of the colour creations blog hop. We have returned to the traditional blog hop like a circle, for this new round so we hop you enjoy blog hoping round to everyone's blog. You may have found me via Andrea's blog. If not that's ok! Hi and welcome! 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on all the new 2021 - 2023 in colors, fresh freesia, polished pink, pale papaya, soft succulent and evening evergreen.
As I like to use the colour coach each week, I struggle fitting all 5 colours on one card! I initially picked polished this week as my focus and picked polished pink, mango melody and mossy meadow to work with. As you scroll down further, you'll see I made 2 more additional cards, much the same as much polished pink card only with two other in colors - fresh freesia and pale papaya. 

I have used the inlaid embossing technique along with the artistic dies to create a thanks card. To get two different coloured leaves/flowers in mossy meadow and polished pink I coloured basic white cardstock with mossy meadow light stampin write marker and polished pink cardstock with the polished pink dark stampin write marker to get the tonal variations. 


Inside card


My pale papaya and fresh freesia cards again feature the colour coach swatches. The cards only differ from the polished pink one with a hello sentiment on the front instead of thanks. Both stamps are from the artistically inked stamp set. I again used the stampin' blends markers to colour the cardstock to get a variation in flowers colours. I have yet to make the matching envelopes but it is on the to do list for tomorrow! 


I used the pale papaya, old olive and balmy blue colour combination.


I used the fresh freesia, gorgeous grape and granny apple green colour combination.


Personally, the polished pink card is my favourite but I think that is because I made that one first. Which one do you like best?

Up next we have Cathy Proctor's blog. Can't wait to see what she is sharing.
