Stampin' Up! Double Point Card with Shaving Cream Technique and Gorgeously Made Dies

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, blackberry bliss.
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 blackberry bliss, lemon lolly and fresh freesia from the colour coach to work with. 

I probably write this time I do the blackberry bliss colour challenge... blackberry bliss is one of my least favourite colours (along with cajun craze) and both of them stayed with the colour refresh we had earlier this year! I rarely ever use this colour and to be honest on when it matches DSP or comes up in one of my cardstock swatches. 
I have created a Double Point Card and made my own DSP with Shaving Cream Technique, and also used the Gorgeously Made Dies. I embossed the background lemon lolly cardstock with Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and used the Something Fancy Dies for the leaf from Gorgeously Made Dies to rest on. The sentiment is from Inked & Tiled stamp set.

Inside card - I kept the inside quite simple with a strip of shaving cream DSP and another die cut leaf


With decorated envelope - again another strip of shaving cream DSP

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made DSP This or That Cards with Nature's Prints

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, berry burst.
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 berry burst, coastal cabana and daffodil delight from the colour coach to work with. 

I have made a fractured/faux shutter card for todays Berry Burst blog hop. I started off with the happy birthday card and wasn't loving it (I think because it was so white with the strips and the centre panel) so I made a second version and added in coastal cabana strips and a daffodil delight matt and love that so much more. I think it pops and adds the wow I was wanting. I didn't want to pull apart the first card and ruin it and be left with no card so I thought you may like to see a little of my crafting thinking process of how when it doesn't quite work for me the first time round, how I add to a card (or in this card re do the entire card) till I am happy with it. 
I used Masterfully Made DSP and the floral image is from Nature's Prints stamp set. I coloured the flower in with daffodil delight stampin' blends and used a retired coastal cabana resin dot in the centre of the flower. The sentiment is stamped on a banner from Gorgeously Made dies. 

This or that? Which do you like better?


Inside card - cards are the same inside 


With envelope - envelopes are the same so I only photographed with my preferred card

Stampin' Up! Level Complete Triple 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, basic gray.
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 basic gray, daffodil delight and lemon lime twist from the colour coach to work with. As the colour challenge wasn't enough, I made this card as a class sample and for my nephew's 11th birthday as well!
I created my own DSP using lemon lime twist cardstock and the level complete step set to create the strips on the right hand side of the card (and the inside). I stamped the strips in lemon lime twist ink in full strength and also second generation stamping for the two tone look. I also created the DSP style panel on the left hand side of the card using the two controller images in the level complete stamp set with basic gray ink. I used real red, lemon lime twist, daffodil delight and tahitian tide stampin blends to colour in the controller buttons. I completed the card with another controller that I fussy cut out and raised a leveled up banner on daffodil delight cardstock that sits atop a belly band.

Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked Woven Background Just a Note 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, parakeet party and highland heather from the colour coach to work with. 

For my card I created a background using the distressed glue technique and applied balmy blue ink over the basic white background using a blending brush. I cut the cardstock up into 1/4" strips and inked all the edges for added definition. I weaved the strips into a background piece for my highland heather artistically inked floral images to sit on. I added in some crushed curry floral centre pieces because it needed something in the middle of the flowers. Each flower is finished off with parakeet party leaves and I added a sprig of leaves die cut from gold foil. The sentiment is from inked and tiled.

Stampin' Up! Birthday Card with Cheerful Daisies Bundle

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, Pecan Pie.
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 pecan pie, pumpkin pie and pretty peacock from the colour coach to work with. 


I tried to use DSP like I have on the other 3 cards this month with the DSP sale still on for a few more days but it just wasn't coming together for me. So here is your reminder, there is 13 packs of DSP are on sale for 15% off this month and it ends on Friday June 30th.

Onto today's card, I decided to create a brick wall embossed background with daisies on it. When I went to create my card I discovered my 3D embossing folder had retired last catalogue and I need to order the new exposed brick 3D embossing folder (Opps! Guess what is on my next order!) I have used the older folder for the card today as it was the idea I had in my head and there was nothing shaking it. I die cut the daisies in pumpkin pie (and in early espresso for the tiny dots) and adhered them onto pretty peacock stems and leaves. The sentiment was stamped in pretty peacock and I layered the sentiment on three labels for some added height for something different. 


The envelope - has a large daisy with leaves tucked behind the flower


Inside card - I stamped Happy Birthday from artistically inked and added two more daisies with one of them raised up with stamping dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Pocket Front Bubble Bath Card with Wanted to Say dies

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, bubble bath. 
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 bubble bath, pretty peacock and pool party from the colour coach to work with. 


Knowing that 13 packs of DSP are on sale for 15% off this month, I wanted to try and use as many of the DSP's that are on special on my cards this month.
This week, I have used the delightfully eclectic 12" x 12" DSP and I love that I could purchase it for $45.05 AUD (and get demonstrator discount on top of that!) instead of paying $53.00 AUD! 
I have created a pocket front card for my nieces birthday which will be great for stashing money in, a gift card, a note or a scratchie. I have also used the wanted to say dies and have cut my die cut in half to create a long die cut. I love that is makes it more versatile and created a whole new look. I finished off the card with circle die cuts and the numbers 1 & 6 in silver foil for some bling and also used some basic rhinestone jewels.

Stampin' Up! Construction Zone Azure Afternoon Thinking of You Card

Hi and after a long hiatus I am trying to get back into the groove of blog hoping with the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, azure afternoon. 
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 azure afternoon, daffodil delight and pumpkin pie to create my card.


Knowing that 13 packs of DSP are on sale for 15% off this month, I wanted to try and use some of the DSP's that are on special on my card. I ended up using papers from two different packs. The azure afternoon DSP is from Bright and Beautiful DSP and the orange dots DSP (originally was white) is from Zoo Crew DSP. I used a blending brush and pumpkin pie ink to colour the white DSP to create the pumpkin pie coloured DSP. 

I also used construction zone stamp set for my card and created a peek a boo side flap to show some more of the DSP. This card is great for someone who you think needs some cheering up but this stamp set would make some great construction cards. I used a "dots" image from quiet meadow to create a dirt pattern on crumb cake for under my crane. I tore my crumb cake cardstock to try and create a more realistic dirt. I fussy card around part of the stamped image so that I could fit the rest of the crane in the die cut. The stamped images are coloured in with stampin' blends and both the sentiment and crane are raised up with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Triple Diamond Point Birthday Card with Perfect Pomegranate Stamp Set

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, crushed curry. 
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 crushed curry, calypso coral and garden green from the colour coach to work with. 
I have created a birthday card by CASEing the sale-a-bration brochure. The card shown below (in the bottom right hand corner) is from the 2022 sale-a-bration brochure, 16 ©2020 Stampin' Up!®. 


I stamped the floral base images in crushed curry onto basic white cardstock. I used crumb cake banners under the birthday sentiment. All the leaves (in garden green and granny apple green) and the smaller flowers (calypso coral) are fussy cut and placed randomly. The sentiment is stamped from Nature's Prints and die cut from Painted Labels dies. The DSP used in the triple diamond point is from Rustic Harvest DSP from the July - December mini catalogue.

Stampin' Up! Cottage Rose Birthday Card

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, Crumb Cake. 
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 crumb cake, calypso coral and granny apple green from the colour coach to work with. 
For my card this week, I have chosen to create a background using old sewing patterns with the faux silk technique. An old favourite of mine for a textured background as the words in the sewing pattern also provides visual interests. I stamped and die cut 2 rose images along with 2 leaf images and the trio of flowers. I fussy cut away some of the details from one of the roses to suit the look I was going for. All die cut images where coloured in with a variety of Stampin' Blends markers. All images for the card, both the card front and inside the card are from the one stamp set, cottage rose. 


With envelope -  I tried something new by colouring on the envelope with Stampin' Blends. As long as you have a piece of card inside the envelope it won't blend through to the other side.
