Welcome to a new round of the Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. Once again we are very fortuante to have the lovely Cathy Proctor as our host. Last week the team finished off with Soft Suede and now we start all over again but this year we have a whole lot of new colours as Stampin' Up! have done a colour refresh and retired some colours and brought in new ones as well as the 2023-25 In Colours, which is where we start our journey all over again.
This week, week 1, we start with one of the In colours, Boho Blue, which I absolutely love.
To me Boho Blue is the absolutely perfect blue to use to create baby cards and that is what I have done this week.
Along with Stampin' Up having a colour refresh it is also the start of the new 2023-2024 Annual catalogue, which also means the retirement of some of the stamp sets and bundles but yay it also means lots of new products for us to create with. Because the new Annual Catalogue only went live 2 days ago I haven't been able to purchase many of the lovely new products and some of my existing baby products have retired so I have had to make do with what I have been able to pre-order along with existing products.
For the background I have used one of the streamer stamps from the new Beautiful Balloons bundle. These have been "stamped off" using Misty Moonlight. I have then embossed the piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Online exclusive Basics 3D embossing folders.
The balloons have been die cut using Boho Blue cardstock and one of the dies from the new Beautiful Balloons dies. The letters on the balloons have been created using the Alphabet A La Mode dies and stuck to the balloons using adhesive sheets.
For the balloon strings I have used the White Bakers Twine and coloured it using a Boho Blue Stampin Blend. Finally I have added a few In Colour Dots in Boho Blue. All of this has been mounted on Misty Moonlight cardstock and finally Crumb Cake.
For the inside of the card I have used several of the Countryside Corners dies with Basic White and Boho Blue cardstock.
The sentiment is from Charming Sentiments and has been stamped using Boho Blue.
Next in tonight's blog hop is lovely Tina Gillespie. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.

I look forward to using Boho Blue on baby cards, too - it's just so pretty, isn't it? Great card, T. Those letters look like they were made to fit on the balloons. I like that embossing folder for a baby card, too; reminds me of a blanket!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Theresa! Your bunch of Boho Blue balloons are beautiful and just perfect for a new baby. Your colouring of the White Bakers Twine using your Boho Blue Stampin Blends is genius!
ReplyDeleteLovely Theresa! You're right, its the perfect blue for baby cards! I love how well you fitted the letters into the balloons - very clever!
ReplyDeleteWow, the alpha dies are the perfect size for the balloons! Your card looks fantastic, and I agree that Boho Blue is great for baby cards.
ReplyDeleteSuch a simple but awesome idea Theresa! Love this. Great use of the product. You could also spell out a (short) name with the balloons.
ReplyDeleteOoh, those letters fit perfectly on those balloons. A great baby card, Theresa, and Boho Blue is just the best tone for so many occasions!
