Stampin' Up! Triple Point 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, blueberry bushel.
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 blueberry bushel, granny apple green and real red from the colour coach to work with. 

My original plan was to use blueberry bushel inkpad and a stamp set I haven't given a lot of love to but after opening my inkpad and discovering it was very juicy I changed my plans. These are my hands after cleaning my ink pad up. 

I opted for a simpler card design that required less stamping with a very juicy inkpad.

I made a triple point card with embossed panels using the timeworn type 3D embossing folder which are then matted in Granny Apple Green cardstock. The happy birthday sentiment is from the Wanted to Say dies and is mounted on a basic white Something Fancy die cut. Lots of dimensionals were used to raise up the Happy Birthday die, the Something Fancy die and also the cross point of the triple point card. I finished the card front off with a few basic rhinestones. 
The blueberry bushel carsdtock inside the card is stamped with blueberry bushel ink for a tone on tone look using the "book spiral crayon rubbing" stamp from Gorgeously Made stamp set. I didn't stamp any sentiments inside the card to leave as much room as possible for writing a birthday message.

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.

June Stampin' Up! Techniques Class - Pocket Front Cards

After a month off for my hysterectomy I resumed classes again in June (I had just been terrible at blogging the finished cards this year so far!) The technique for June's classes is Pocket Front cards and with the DSP special I made sure to use some DSP on the cards as well. I used the Delightfully Eclectic DSP on both of my cards as it has 24 different patterns on 48 sheets of paper! A great choice for card class!


Side note, the DSP special ends tomorrow so if you'd like 15% off 13 packs of DSP grab them while you can. Shop here in my online store. 

Each class everyone makes two cards and every card is decorated on the front, inside and the envelope as well so you end up with a truly completed card. 

Card 1 features brewed for you stamp set and brewed dies

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.

Pinwheel Tower Flap Birthday Card with Regency Park DSP

It was my mum's birthday the other day and I always try to make her a nice, wow card. This year, I settled a Pinwheel Tower Flap card and used the pretty Regency Park DSP. I used the lovely new Alphabet a la mode dies for some of the die cut lettering, but they were too large for the word birthday so I used a retired die to spell Happy Birthday as well. If you purchase both the Alphabet a la mode dies and the Regency Park DSP, you will get a FREE level 1 sale-a-bration product of your choice. There is 7, level 1 ($90 spend) to choose from and 2, level 2 ($190 spend).

Here are the four sides of the pinwheel tower flap card:




I blanked out my handwriting on the DSP panel as I forgot to take a photo before I wrote on the card, oops! 


This is the card folded flat for hand delivering or posting.

Stampin' Up! Blackberry Bliss Corner Flip 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, 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.


I have chosen blackberry bliss, calypso coral and daffodil delight from the colour coach to work from this week. 

For my card today, I have created a corner fold card again after making one a few weeks ago for parakeet party and I've used the brilliant wings dies for large focal images. I have a cloud design in the background so it looks like the butterflies are fluttering in the sky. I have randomly placed rhinestone basic jewels around the card along with the brushed brass butterflies. I have coloured the brushed brass butterflies in silver using a Sharpie as they fit my card design better than the original brass colour. I have also used some retired silver foil to create an inlaid design to highlight parts of the butterfly.

I continued the cloud design over the front of the envelope

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
