Stampin' Up! Mint Macaron

 

This week, week 30 in the Colour Creations blog hop we continue our journey  featuring all of the Core Stampin' Up! colours, in alphabetical order. This week's feature colour  Mint Macaron, is a member of the Subtles colour group, and as the name suggests is a pale mint green colour.

 I have been a bit time poor this week as I have had a family member in hospital and have spent my days back and forward to the hospital but thankfully by the time you read this they will be home again. Being time poor I have chosen to go with a layout I have used a similar layout to one I have used here. I have teamed Mint Macaron with White and Pale Papaya.

The background paper is from the Design a Daydream host Designer Paper and I have topped it with a piece of Basic White cardstock that has been embossed using the Stitched Greenery die and then die cut using one of the Split Card Textures dies.

The Floral Sprays are from the Framed Florets bundle and have been coloured using both Mint Macaron and Pale Papaya Stampin Blends. The sprays have been die cut using the matching dies from the Framed Florets dies.

The sentiment is from Go To Greetings and has been embossed in white on Mint Macaron cardstock and then die cut using one of the Tailor Made Tags dies.

Finally I have added a bow using the Pale Papaya Open Weave ribbon. After taking the photo I also added a couple of gems but ran out of time to photograph the card again.  So you'll just have to use your imagination. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is our lovely host Cathy Proctor. I look forward to seeing her lovely creation.

Stampin' Up! Daffodil Delight

 

This week, week 17 in the Colour Creations blog hop we continue our journey  featuring all of the Core Stampin' Up! colours, in alphabetical order. This week's feature colour  Daffodil Delight, is a member of the Brights colour group and is a lovely sunshiny yellow colour. 

This week I decided it was time to finally ink up the stamp set Fresh Cut Flowers as next month Stampin' Up are offering a promotion involving coordinating dies for this stamp set and a few others, so for those who prefer not to fussy cut, this is a perfect alternate. I have chosen to pair Daffodil Delight with White and Old Olive which is an old favourite colour combination for me.  I have also used this card to "break open" my new Split Card Textures dies.

My first point for this card was to stamp the floral image in Memento Black and then colour it using Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. I then die cut this image using the coordinating die. Whilst I had the die set out, I also die cut a couple of the sprigs in Old Olive and Daffodil Delight to mount behind the floral image. 

One of the other dies in the Fresh Cut Stems Dies is the herringbone type die that I have used on the edge of the card. 

Next I have die cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using one of the Split card Textures dies and adhered this to a piece of the Design a Daydream Host Designer Series Paper. I have then glued all of the Floral and sprig images to this.

The sentiment is from the very useful stamp set Go To Greetings and has been stamped in Old Olive and then die cut using one of the dies from the Holly Berry dies.

Finally I have added a few Glossy Dots in Daffodil Delight and small bow in Old Olive from the Twill Ribbon Combo pack. 

Next in tonight's blog hop is the lovely Christine Blain. I look forward to seeing her lovely creation.
