Stampin' Up! Balmy Blue Diagonal Double Fold Card

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, Balmy Blue
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 Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Granny Apple Green from the colour coach to work with. 
Each time I have done a balmy blue blog hop, I can't help myself, I have always chosen the same colour combination. This year, I decided to make a card for my nephew Hunter and since his favourite colour is green I had no choice but to go with the same colour combination again! Hopefully, he likes the diagonal double fold card, it is a fun fold. I originally had an opps when I cut the DSP and cut it on the wrong angle as I had intended the card to be a vertical card not horizontal. Not wanting to waste the DSP, I went with it anyway.

The DSP I have uses is from the Abstract Beauty 4" x 6" pack (it's on the last chance product list for $18.20!) and the granny apple green is from last years Brights design (my this years pack hasn't arrived yet). I die cut the 5 using my electronic die cut machine and the circle/scalloped circle is from the layering circles dies. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Art Gallery stamp set.

With envelope - I used a spare #5 die cut and my blending brushes to decorate the envelope

Ros, I love this colour combination so I am delighted you have chosen it again. I'm sure your nephew will love this beautiful card too with his favourite colour green.

What a fun card, Ros! I'm sure that your nephew will love it. I know that'd I'd enjoy opening each flap to find what's underneath.

[Andrea Sargent]

Love your card Ros and I am sure Hunter will be delighted. Your double diagonal fun fold is great with the different DSPs and the layering circles labels with the large number 5. Love your coordinating envelope as well. Xxx

An awesome card for your nephew Ros. I particularly love the colour combo and the navy with DSP with gold flecks.

It's a great colour combo, Ros; you can't go wrong. I think Hunter will think this card is VERY cool. Great layout,and use of papers - and that big "5" is fabulous. I love how you decorated the envelope, too.
