Stampin' Up! Peach Pie

 

Welcome to a new round of the Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. Once again we are very fortunate to have the lovely Cathy Proctor as our host.  Last week the team finished off with Tahitian Tide and now we start all over again.This year we will be starting our journey once again by featuring the new In Colours which will be current for the next 2 years.

Today's blog hop also coincides with the launch of the new Annual Catalogue for 2024-25. Be sure to check out all the new beautiful products.

This week, week 1, we start with one of the In colours, Peach Pie. Stampin'  Up seems to love colour names with the word Pie in them as we now have 3 "Pie" colours.

 Peach Pie as the name would suggest, is a lovely Peachy Colour. For my card this week I have chosen to coordinate Peach Pie with Lemon Lime Twist, White and a hint of Pecan Pie (one of the 3 pies).

 A piece of Peach Pie cardstock has been embossed using one of the new "Big" embossing folders, So Swirly. This embossing folder now allows you to emboss a much larger piece of cardstock compared to the previous ones. 

A piece of the new Country Lace Designer Series Paper has been die cut using one of the larger Perennial Postage dies and the edges sponged using a new addition to the Basics range of colours, Basic Beige.

The floral spray, leaf cut outs, and twig wreath are all from an Online Exclusive bundle, Encircled in Nature. The floral spray has been stamped in Black memento and then coloured using Peach Pie and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin Blends. The leaf cut outs have been die cut using White cardstock and then sponged using Blending Brushes and Lemon Lime Twist ink. The twig wreath has been cut out using Pecan Pie cardstock. 

The sentiment is from the stamp set Perennial Postage and has been stamped in Peach Pie ink onto white cardstock. This has then been die cut using one of the Deckled Circles dies. 

Finally a double bow using Linen Thread has been added to the floral spray as well as a couple of Peach Pie In Colour Shimmer Gems and a couple of Brushed Brass Butterflies.

Another coloured floral spray has been added to the inside of the card along with the sentiment from Hooray for Surprises, stamped in Peach Pie. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the talented Tina Gillespie. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation. Speaking of which, don't you love our new "next blog button" ?

Stampin' Up! Poppy Parade

 

This week, is week  41 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  Poppy Parade, a member of the Brights family of colours and a vibrant red colour as the name suggests.

Once again I am having a play with some of the beautiful new products from the current mini catalogue and also one of the freebies that you can earn during Saleabration when you spend $90 or more. In this case though it was actually a bundle of stamp set and Embossing folder when you spend $180.

I have chosen to feature the Hooray For Surprises bundle for my card and teamed Poppy Parade with Flirty Flamingo, Mossy Meadow and Old Olive.

The flowers have been stamped in Poppy Parade and Flirty Flamingo onto white card and then die cut using the matching die from the Hooray For Surprises dies. To add dimension they have been popped up on dimensionals. I ahve added some Wink of Stella to the flowers but it was too hard to photograph and all it appears to have done on the Poppy Parade flower is make the ink bleed rather than add shimmer.

The leaves behind have been die cut also using one of the dies from the same set, using Mossy Meadow and Old Olive cardstock. Underneath all of this is some Silver Simply Elegant Trim.

This arrangement has been mounted onto a piece of white cardstock that has been dry embossed using the Saleabration Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder.

The sentiment is also from the Hooray For Surprises stamp set and has been embossed in white onto Poppy Parade card and then backed with some Flirty Flamingo card. Both have been die cut using one of the Thoughtful Expressions dies (also another new product from the mini).

Finally I have added a few Basic Pearls that have been coloured using a Poppy Parade Stampin Blend and then mounted all of this onto Flirty Flamingo card and finally Poppy Parade card. 

For the inside of the card I have used a smaller floral die also from the Hooray For Surprises dies, using Poppy Parade and Flirty Flamingo card. The leaves like the outside are in Old Olive. 

The sentiment is also from the stamp set Hooray For Surprises and has been stamped in Poppy Parade. 

Next in tonight's blog hop our the talented host Cathy Proctor . I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.
