Stampin' Up! Shy Shamrock

 

 

Welcome to a Week 4 of the Colour Creations Showcase blog hop. This week we continue our journey through the New In Colours for 2024-26 Stampin' Up!, working in alphabetical order. This week our feature colour is  the vibrant Shy Shamrock. A lovely green that sits between Shaded Spruce and Pretty Peacock on the Stampin' Up! Colour Wheel.

 

The Attention Shoppers bundle is another new one in the current catalogue and the feature for this week's card. This bundle was demonstrated at the Onstage event in March and it was that demonstration that convinced me to add the bundle to my collection. It's a fun bundle that can be used for lots of different occasions.

This week I have used it to make a card for my son and his girlfriend who are soon to move into their first home together. It conjures up ideas of gifts of new house plants and bottle of wine for their house warming.

 A piece of white card that has been embossed using the Dashing Designs embossing folder has been mounted onto a piece of In Colour Designer Series Paper.

The plants and bottle have been stamped in Black Memento Ink and then coloured using Shy Shamrock, Copper Clay and Peach Pie Stampin' Blends and die cut using dies from the Attention Shoppers dies.

The shopping trolley has been die cut using Silver Foil and the dies from the Attention Shoppers dies. To make it easier to adhere to the card, adhesive sheet was attached to the foil before die cutting. 

The sentiment is from Translucent Florals and has been white embossed onto Shy Shamrock card. A Stylish Shapes was used to die cut the sentiment. 

The words "New Home"have been die cut using Shy Shamrock card and the Mini Alphabet Dies. The wine bottles have been die cut using In Colour DSP and the die from the Attention Shoppers dies.

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.

Next in tonight's blog hop is our lovely host Catherine Proctor. I look forward to seeing this week's beautiful creation.
