Stampin' Up! Fresh Freesia

 

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.

After abstaining for many many weeks probably even months, I have finally "crossed over to the dark side" and entered the world of Fancy Fold cards for this weeks Colour Creations Showcase! It isn't a highly intricate one like other fellow team members create but I just thought the Latch fold card would be the perfect layout to feature one of the gorgeous papers from the online exclusive Delightful Floral DSP.

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.
