This week, is week 24 in the Colour Creations blog hop and this week we continue our journey through the existing Stampin' Up! core colours, working in alphabetical order. This week our feature colour is Fresh Freesia, a member of the Subtles family of colours. Fresh Freesia is a gorgeous subtle pinky mauve colour and is also perfect for feminine cards.
Rather than bore you with all of the measurements and instructions I suggest that you head over to Youtube and search for Latch Fold card videos and there are plenty of them. I found this one to be particularly helpful except that the measurements are designed for US card, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R473-5LRvqM.
The sentiment is from another new online exclusive bundle, Heartfelt Hexagon. The stamp set has a multiple of sentiments for lots of different occasions, Birthday, Wedding, Sympathy to name a few. As well as a couple of border stamps to match the punch. In my case I have used the "Sending you lots of love and hugs" sentiment and stamped it in Fresh Freesia. For the border stamp I have used Berry Burst.
This has been mounted onto another couple of Fresh Freesia pieces and I have added a few Berry Burst Tinsel Gems.
To brighten up the inside panel used for writing on I have used the Translucent Floral bundle which the Delightful Floral paper is designed to combine with. The floral stem has been stamped in Parakeet Party and the flowers in Berry Burst and Fresh Freesia. Each element is then die cut using the corresponding dies from the Translucent Floral dies. I have also generously added Wink of Stella to the flowers to make them sparkle.
Finally in the bottom corner I have added a few Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems.
Next in tonight's blog hop is our lovely host Catherine Proctor. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.

Such a lovely card, T. This is a great fold, to show off those beautiful papers. The Heartfelt Hexagon bundle has fast become one of my favourites, and I may already have used that very sentiment (and frame) on next week's card! LOL. I love the shimmer on the delicate stamped flowers. So much prettiness on this card. x
ReplyDeleteOh, how lovely! The DSP is gorgeous, and I love how the stamping on the inside can be seen when the latch card is closed.
ReplyDeleteTheresa, your Latch Fold fancy fold is terrific! It looks amazing in those beautiful papers - please keep making more!
ReplyDeleteI must say, I really do like your choice of paper (wink, wink) and it seems we may all be entering the world of the fancy fold. This Latch Fold card really does show off both paper and flowers at their best.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Theresa, good on you creating a fancy fold design. The DSP selection is perfect and the lovely stamped images and the Wink of Stella, well you can never have too much sparkle! I can't wait for my Heartfelt Hexagon bundle to arrive after seeing you all using it.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Theresa. I love your Latch fold. It does show both the DSP and the punched label beautifully. I love the way you have added a spray of flowers to the bottom panel that shows through above the latch. xx
