Colour Creation Week 19 Daffodil Delight

Hi everyone,

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists created a group called Colours Creations.  Each week we work through the colours, alphabetically, for the year.  This week is Daffodil Delight.  This colour was an InColour several years ago.  Every 5 years or so, Stampin Up review their colours. During the last review, this colour was included in the regular colours.  It is such a cheerful colour, ready for spring. 

My card is a fairly basic card.  I started off with Mixed Florals Stamp Set.  I wanted to colour the tulips in Daffodil Delight.  The rest fell into place a bit with Mum’s help. 

Mum and I video chat every couple of nights. I usually make cards while talking to Mum. As I did with this card, I ask her, does this go with this, or that.  It was also the first time that I used Mixed Labels Stamp Set.

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.

Stampin Up Craft A Long

Hi everyone, 

Last week, Stampin Up had a Craft A Long where a number of demonstrators and hobbyists created the same cards using different designer series paper but the same measurements.   We tried new techniques, some I liked, some I didn’t.  That’s okay though. 

On page 42 in the new Mini Catalogue, as pictured above, we chose a 12” x 12” sheet of designer series paper.  We were given measurements on Zoom.  We followed along and created the same cards using the sheets that we chose.  I chose ‘Trimming the Town’ Designer Series Paper. 

So below are the cards that I made.  I actually liked this process.  It enable me to chose a sheet that I had no idea what to do with it.  I have a number of 12” x 12” available where I will do this again.

Colour Creation Week 18 Crushed Curry

 Hi everyone, 

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists created a group called Colours Creations.  Each week we work through the colours, alphabetically, for the year.  This week is Crushed Curry.  This colour has been around for the entire time I have been part of Stampin Up. 

I had this idea.  It took a couple of goes.  

I used Beautiful Butterflies Bundle..  I embossed white butterflies all over the card stock.  I also embossed another with black butterflies.  I also embossed another butterfly on white card stock and coloured it will watercolour pencils. I finished it off with a sentiment from Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. 

I prefer the white butterflies.

Colour Creation Week 17 Crumb Cake

 Hi everyone, 

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

Here is my example.  I have seen these cards where there is a white flower on a darker background. I am not sure how the others were created.  I have not looked for a video yet.  

I created this one using White stamp pad, and Thankful Garden Stamp Set and stencils.  A lIttle variation in the white is evident.  Not bad for a first attempt.

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.

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!
