Welcome to a Week 17 of the Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. This week we continue our journey through the remaining Stampin' Up! core colours, working in alphabetical order, with this week's feature colour being Cherry Cobbler. Cherry Cobbler is a member of the Regals group of colours and is classified as a Red Violet colour.
As Cherry Cobbler is a red colour and commonly used in Christmas creations that is what I have gone with too. My preorder has finally arrived and this week I have had fun playing with one of the new bundles from the Upcoming Mini Catalogue, the very cute Reindeer Fun. Cherry Cobbler has been teamed with Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake.
To start with a piece of Very Vanilla card has been stamped using Crumb Cake ink and the star stamp from Reindeer Fun. It was then embossed using the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder and then die cut using the circular die from the Reindeer Fun dies. This has been adhered to a piece of soon to be released Splendid Autumn paper featuring Cherry Cobbler.
The cute little Reindeer, also from /reindeer Fun, has been stamped in Early Espresso and then coloured using Crumb Cake Stampin Blends. It was then die cut. The bridle has been stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink.
Although hard to tell from the original photo, the sentiment, from Greetings Of the Season has been embossed in gold and then die cut using one of the Nested Essentials dies.
Finally a few Gold Blooming Pearls have been added for that bit of Christmas bling.
The inside has been kept very simple by just stamping the bells from Reindeer Fun and colouring them with Cherry Cobbler and Wild Wheat Stampin Blends and then die cutting them. I wish that Stampin Up would have Gold and Silver blends.
Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Vicki Boucher. I look forward to seeing her lovely creation this week.

Isn't this a delightful bundle to create with?! Your card is so sweet, T. I love the Cherry Cobbler background behind the white die-cut aperture ... and the way you've hung gold glimmer lights between the trees. Lots of beautiful details, including your colour choices, and the die used to cut the sentiment label.
ReplyDeleteTheresa, I love this card so much! The Very Vanilla cardstock stamped with Crumb Cake ink using the star stamp from Reindeer Fun looks so beautiful. I'm with you on the desire for Stampin Up to have Gold and Silver blends - I'd also like gold and silver ink too!
ReplyDeleteI love your reindeer card so much Theresa. Your colour combo is delightful and works perfectly for the reindeer scene. It is oh so cute with lovely touches - incl the stamped stars and the string of glimmer lights. xxx
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love the Crumb Cake stamped stars on the background embossed layer, so pretty. Your deer is sweet and I love the baubles hanging across the centre. I too wish the Encore Gold & Silver inks would return, but yes, blends would be great too!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute reindeer Theresa and the circle edged with foliage is pretty special too.
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly created a very beautiful Christmas card and just the right amount of Cherry Cobler which is paired nicely with Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. The deer from Reindeer Fun is adorable and is layered over the circle die perfectly.
