Stampin' Up! Rococo Rose Same Same But Different Many Layered Blossoms Cards

Our forty second colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "rococo rose" from the 2019 - 2021 in color collection. I have chosen rococo rose, merry merlot and mint macaron from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 

I was struggling with this weeks colour combination. I'm not sure why, but I turned to my old faithful, many layered blossoms die. Even with the many layered blossoms die, I still struggled (maybe because I was using only one of the two step dies?) You'll notice as you scroll further, I have two cards this week which is unusual.
I made the crumb cake base first and something wasn't right about it (it didn't have the very vanilla centres in the middle of the flowers). I made the second card on a very vanilla base (without the copper foil centres in the middle of the flowers) and even ran the rococo rose cardstock through the subtle 3D embossing folder first and I wasn't loving it either card. I decided I had to commit and add the centres to the middle of the flowers (which I'll admit, takes some time which is why I was probably trying to avoid it in the first place) and it certainly finished off both the cards I promise you! 
The two cards have rococo rose flowers with merry merlot outline and mint macaron leaves (just different card bases and mats and floral centres). Both cards have champagne rhinestone basic jewels to finish off the cards.
I think the thank you card with the crumb cake base is my favourite, what about you?


I used a triple banner punch for the thank you sentiment and added the rococo rose scallop linen ribbon onto the tag. 


This card has the subtle 3D embossing folder on the rococo rose petals. It is easier to see the texture on this image than the one above (that has both cards.)
I also didn't include a sentiment with this card as I went for sophisticated neutral card (or at least that is what I was aiming for!)


For the inside of both cards, I kept them very simple and used the negative of one of the rococo rose dies. It was a great way to use up something that I would normally not know what to do with.

Stampin' Up! Many Layered Blossoms Split Card

In February I taught a many layered blossoms card class where everyone made two cards, this sympathy card was one of them and the card below was another.
I offered two colour options for the split card, with both coming from the colour coach. Misty moonlight (misty moonlight, balmy blue and petal pink) and bermuda bay (bermuda bay, rich razzleberry and crushed curry.)



If you think the design looks familiar, you would be correct, as I have used it for the colour creations blog hop.

Stampin' Up! Many Layered Blossoms Birthday Card

Our thirty fifth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "pool party" from the subtles collection. I have chosen pool party, calypso coral and highland heather from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 

For my card today I have used the many layered blossoms die, which is a favourite of mine. I love seeing how I can make it look different each time I use it.
Today, I fussy cut away the excess cardstock from the right hand side of the card so the inside of the card peeks through.
I've used the adhesive sheets to stick the many layered blossom die down with ease and stamped happy birthday from Zany Zebras. I've also cut very fine strips of calypso coral cardstock (that have adhesive sheets on the back) to highlight the birthday sentiment. I finished off the card front with pool party faux resin dots.

Inside card - I've used the you are amazing stamp set and hand drawn highland heather lines on basic white cardstock using a stampin' blend to create my own DSP.

Colour Creations #24 - Mango Melody

Our twenty fourth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "mango melody" from the brights collection. I have chosen mango melody, garden green and flirty flamingo from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 

I have used the spring trio of colours to create a floral card featuring the many layered blossoms die. I love how this die can create many different looks. If you are a regular reader of my colour creations posts, you may have noticed I have used this die on 3 other cards yet I think it still looks unique when I use it again and again.
I have die cut the two layers of the die in the following colours: early espresso and mango melody in the fine thin layer and the other layer in flirty flamingo and whisper white. I cut garden green cardstock in both layers of the dies. I took some time to create the inlaid die cutting technique as I love the look it gives and it provides a stand out design on the mango melody designer series paper.
As the card front is quite bright and bold, I decided to have this card as a blank/no sentiment card and also left in the inside of the card reasonably plain as well.

Is this a die set, you can see yourself creating with?

Colour Creations #23 - Magenta Madness

Our twenty third colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "magenta madness" from the 2020 - 2022 in color collection. I have chosen magenta madness, mango melody and calypso coral from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 

Magenta madness is a very bright colour and when paired with mango melody and calypso coral it certainly gives off a fluro vibe almost! For my card today, I have used the many layered blossoms die with adhesive sheets and I die cut it out in each of the three colours. I layered the die on shimmery white cardstock and cut it in half and reassembled it on a mango melody cardstock matt and layered it onto on a magenta madness card. I went with a simple Happy Birthday sentiment from "itty bitty birthdays" stamp set and raised it up on dimensionals and finished the card off with rhinestone basic jewels.

Colour Creations #13 - Crushed Curry

Our thirteenth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "crushed curry" from the regals collection. I have chosen crushed curry, sahara sand and pool party from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 
Here is my crushed curry card from 2018. 

For my card today, I decided to work with the split card front technique and I used the many layered blossoms die to split across the two card fronts. Using the adhesive sheets was big time saver in creating the two cards and made sticking the tiny pool party flower centres down A LOT easier! 
I decided mirror the overall design yet make the two cards different. One into a birthday card and the other a thank you card. Again, I used my faux resin dots to finish off the two cards and add in some more crushed curry colour.

Colour Creations 2020 #1 - Balmy Blue

I'm back playing along with colour creations again this year with fellow team members of the Art with Heart team. I am hoping to get a lot more of the colours done that I did last year in 2018 (I thought it was last year!) but time will tell! I would also like to continue on with my own challenge from last year of using the colour coach again.... 

First up, we have balmy blue.
Here is my balmy blue card from 2018. 

I created a watercolored background on shimmery white cardstock in both balmy blue and granny apple green and used this to die cut with the many layered blossoms die. I kept the "negative" pieces to add colour and fill in the die cut outline. Using the same die cut, I cut it out again but this time in night of navy and used the “outline” for my inlaid/popped up petals to rest in. 

I finished off the card front with a sentiment from well said stamp set and some champagne rhinestone basic jewels.  


I like this angle of the card as it shows the watercoloured card better


I kept the inside of the card very simple (with the front of the card having a "for you" sentiment) so it can be used for practically any occasion.
