Colour Creations Week 16 Coastal Cabana

Hi everyone. 

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists are working through each colour cuurently available in the catalogues. CoastalCabana is this week’s colour.  

Once again I have a new dies that I have not tried yet.  This weekly challenge gives me a chance to research and find the thought that I want to try.  The Everyday Arches Dies is going to become a favourite of mine, I think. I teamed it with Thankful Garden and Everyday Arches Stamp Set. 

While this card is a little smaller than I am use to, I will be made something similar in the near future. Isn’t it beautiful. 

Have you used Stampin Up products before. One of the reasons that I became a demonstrator/hobbyist was because I love the colour combos.  Stampin Up provides cardstock, ribbon, stamp pad, and matching designer series paper and sometimes matching glitz to enhance the cards.  If you are a bit pedantic with colour combinations Stampin Up is your friend. They certainly have my vote.  

The current Annual Catalogue is available on this blog. 

If you live in Australia and you would like to place an order over $250-00 (before shipping) you will

Colour Creation Week 15 Cherry Cobbler

 Hi everyone, 

A group of the Art With Heart Team is hopping through the Stampin’ Up! Colours in alphabetical order and week 15 is all about Cherry Cobbler.   This is a rich dark red that is often used in christmas cards.

I wanted to try something different.  In my example I used Delightful Wishes Bundle. I noticed in a colour combination on Pinterest that Mambo Melon is a lighter share.  I tried the small flowers however was not happy. However the large flower turned out well.  I like the two dies on the flowers and leaves creating a different shade or depth. 

Recently one of my friends asked that I leave the sentiment off my cards.  Certainly in recent weeks it has become the norm for there to be no room for a sentiment.  Once again, I created this card and thought where do I put the sentiment.  So no sentiment!

FatherDay

Hi everyone, 

Happy Father’s Day is nearly upon us. 

Each year I make Mother’s Day and Father’s Day card for our grandsons’s school.  They have a stall where the school kids can buy something for their mum or day. 

Anyway, Father’s Day is nearly here.  Below, as you can see, I have just thrown the cards on the floor.  You can see some of the 60 cards that were given to the school.

Colour Creations Week 14 Calypso Coral

Hi everyone,

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists join in Colours Creations.  Each week we work through the colours, alphabetically, for the year.  Today is Calypso Coral.  Another shade of orange.  I’m not a fan of orange. 

I created this card using a new bundle from the Online Store, Impressions Abloom. I purchased this bundle purely for the oval border and cut out.  In the past I have bought many cards that have the cut out and silver or gold border around the oval.  Now I can make them myself.

Colour Creations Week 13 Cajun Craze

 Hi everyone, 

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists are working through each colour currently available in the catalogues. Cajun Craze is this week’s colour.  This is not one of my favourite colours.  In fact I don’t like orange, browns or greens much. 

When I started thinking about this card, I discovered that I had card stock but no stamp pad.  Why would someone buy card stock without the stamp pad.  It seems a bit silly to me. I must rectify it soon.

I started with this first card below.  I played around with the colours.  I used Wild Wheat, Old Olive and Cajun Craze with Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. I even found some ribbon to match. I have  left a sentiment off because I couldn’t work out what to put on it and how.  So it still bare.  However, I really like the card as it is. 

This next one is using Layers of Beauty.  I used Calypso Coral and used a light layer up to the darkest layer.  3 layers in all.  The last layer looks pretty close to Cajun Craze, don’t you think.  I also used Soft Sea Foam for the leaves.  Once again, I am pretty pleased with this one too.

Colour Creation Week 11 Blueberry Bushel

 Hi everyone, 

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists are working through each colour cuurently available in the catalogues. Blueberry Bushel is this week’s colour.  It is such a beautiful colour blue.  While blue isn’t my favourite colour, I am a bit partial to it.

I made two cards after looking through Pinterest for some inspiration. 

I created the first one using Dotted Circles 3 D Embossing Folder, which is still available,  and Country Flowers Stamp Set and Dies which appears to be retired.  I also used Blueberry Bushel, Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly and Smoky Slate. 

I created this card using the same colours as above. I used Spring Corner Stamp Set.  This is a simple card that I would probably send to a teenager. I also used Blueberry Bushel, Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lolly Blends.
