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. 

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.

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.

Colour Creations Week 10 Blackberry Bliss

 Hi everyone,

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists join in Colours Creations.  Each we work through the colours, alphabetically, for the year.  Today is Blackberry Bliss.  This colour hs been around for a long time.  It must be a favourite among the Stampin Up community. 

I created this card using Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry and Basic White Card stock.  I also used Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss Stampin Up Blends. With Crushed Curry Stampin Up Markers. I also used Coneflower Celebration Bundle, consisting of the stamp and matching dies. 

We buy stamps for different reasons.  I bought this stamp for the sentiment that is on this set. ‘I love that I’ve known you for so many birthdays.’  It is a great sentiment and a bit different from just ‘Happy Birthday’.

Colour Creations Week 9 Berry Burst

 Hi Everyone, 

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists join in Colours Creations.  Each we work through the colours, alphabetically, for the year.  Today is Berry Burst.  I have always loved this colour. 

This is just something different.  I used Sunrise Sailing Bundle.  This bundle consists of an embossing folder, dies and stamps. They are so easy to use.  

This bundle arrived during the last week.  I just had to use it.  Boats and water just talks to me.  I grew up in a country town close to the beach.  Our family spent most weekends down at the beach, usually skiing.  So I have fond memories of the beach.

Colour Creations Week 8 Basic Grey

 Hi everyone, 

A group of demonstrators and hobbyists are currently working through the Stampin Up colours, alphabetically.  This week’s colour is Basic Grey. 

I created this card using Happy Hibiscus Stamp Set and a retired stamp set Perennial Postage. 

I had a hibiscus bush outside my bedroom window in my childhood home, as I was growing up. It seems that every hibiscus I place on a card is either dark pink or red.  Someone recently shared with me that she did not buy this because she has never been to Hawaii.  While I have done a lot of travelling, I have not visited Hawaii either.  I purchased this and use it regularly because of the happy memories I have concerning that bush.

Colour Creations Week 7 Balmy Blue

 Hi everyone, 

A group of Stampin Up Demonstrators and Hobbyists join in Colours Creations.  Each we work through the colours, alphabetically, for the year.  Today is Balmy Blue.  This colour has been a permanent colour for a number of years.   A tried and true colour. 

I created this card using One More Year Stamp Set.  It is a lovely but funny set.  While there is a funny cake stamp and bottle of wine either cheese and biscuits stomp, I used this dog, by far, the most. Recipients of this card always have a laugh.  Isn’t that what life is about when we get the a certain sge.

Azure Afternoon is Week 6 of Colour Creations.  Isn’t it a beautiful blue.  

Each week a group of Stampin Up people, demonstrators or hobbyists, work through the colours alphabetically available for the year.  We have worked with the new In Colours for 2025-2027.  This is first for the alphabetical colours for this year.
