Lemon Lolly: Christmas Greenery in a fresh colour palette

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 29

This handmade card features the Christmas Greenery stamp set, however it is not necessarily a Christmas card, although it could be sent to someone who may not celebrate Christmas to let them know you are thinking of them at this time of year.  This fresh colour palette is perfect for sending love & joy to someone you care about. My colours this week are Lemon Lolly, Fresh Freesia, Lost Lagoon and Misty Moonlight.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Thick Basic White card base, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Stamp and colour – the images are stamped randomly in a cluster. I find holding the label over the space where you will eventually add it helps in the placement of the stamping.

3. Add the sentiment – one of the Traditional Labels dies in Lemon Lolly cardstock is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink and added on Dimensionals.

5. Finishing touches – some Traditional Sparkling Sequins are dotted around, along with some gold dragonflies and birds. Wink of Stella is splattered for extra sparkle!

Many of us also participate in the Heart of Christmas blog hop that goes live every Monday night, where we showcase Christmas inspiration in the lead up to Christmas. We would love you to join us for our final one this Monday!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Lost Lagoon inspiration.

Lemon Lime Twist: Concertina Fun Fold card

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 28 – Lemon Lime Twist

This handmade fun fold card features the Charming Day Bundle. I have paired Lemon Lime Twist with Berry Burst and Night of Navy.

Here is a closeup of the ink blending on that beautiful rose and the dry embossing on the Lemon Lime Twist card with the Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder.

But here is where the magic happens, as you open the card to reveal this concertina. The gorgeous Floral Charm Designer Series Paper coordinates with the Charming Day stamps, which you can see stamped in the background as a tone on tone look and the floral on the White panel was done with Write Markers, inking directly onto the stamp and onto the card.

The Branching Out dies were used to cut the 2 centre panels for the concertina to slide through.  Connie Stewart, Simply Simple Stamping gave me the idea for this card.

Many of us also participate in the Heart of Christmas blog hop that goes live every Monday night, where we showcase Christmas inspiration in the lead up to Christmas. We would love you to follow us!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for Lemon Lolly inspiration.

This handmade fun fold card features the Charming Day Bundle and the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper (DSP). It is the normal card base size (21cm x 14.8cm or 8¼” x 5-7/8″) in Old Olive, but just scored differently for a fun Gatefold design. I scored mine at 7.5cm & 18cm (3″ & 7-1/8″).

Highland Heather: Star Gate Fold card with matching envelope

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 27 – Highland Heather

This handmade card heavily features the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper in a clever fun fold design and measures 5¾” x 5¾”, so I will show you how to create a 6″ x 6″ matching envelope!

because this card won’t fit into a standard envelope, I had to create my own!

How you can make this matching envelope

Start with a piece of patterned paper 9½” x 9½”. Pencil mark each of the 4 sides at 4¾” and score between each one. Where each of the scorelines crossover, cut away this section. Add Tear & Tape/adhesive as shown, fold in the sides before the bottom section with the adhesive.

Thank you to Verna Mullen, Stampin Notes for the instructions for this Star Gate Fold card design.

Gray Granite: Everday Arches Double Z Fold card

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 26 – Gray Granite

This handmade card features the Everyday Arches dies to create a fun double Z Fold design. I made a similar Christmas themed one on 13 October for our Heart of Christmas blog hop, you can see it here.

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THIS CARD
As you know, I do love a fun fold and I just love these dies, so putting those two things together gives me this design. It probably looks really hard, but in fact, it is fairly easy when you know how!

How you can re-create this card 

For the YouTube Tutorial by The Tattered Stamper click here

I have made mine as a masculine card using the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the following inks: Gray Granite, Mossy Meadow, Misty Moonlight.

The Textured Notes stamp set is used to stamp the images onto the white mechanism, the back of the card (to write the message to the recipient) and the corner of the envelope. I also flicked some Gray Granite Blends Marker over the stamped images to soften all the white space.

The sentiments on the front are from Unbounded Beauty & the one on the back of the card is from Pattern of Friendship. These are all stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.

Many of us also participate in the Heart of Christmas blog hop that goes live every Monday night, where we showcase Christmas inspiration in the lead up to Christmas. We would love you to follow us!

Granny Apple Green: Sending Sunshine with Sunflowers

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 25 – Granny Apple Green

This handmade card features the Sunflowers 3D Embossing Folder. Being my first time playing with it, I began by simply colouring it with Blends Combo Markers in this bright colour combination!

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THIS CARD
I recently had a friend move away from the city for her country lifestyle and I wanted to send her some sunshine for her new start in country living!

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Granny Apple Green card base, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Colour – the embossed card is coloured using Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers: Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lolly, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie & Pool Party. Once dry, I went over the sunflowers with the Wink of Stella (it doesn’t photograph well) but I can assure you it is so sparkly in real life!

3. Layering – Wrap a piece of Gold Striped Ribbon around the embossed layer and tie is a bow. Add this layer to the card base.

4. Add the sentiment – one of the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack sentiments is added on Dimensionals.

5. Finishing touches – some Adhesive-backed Dragonflies are added.

Gorgeous Grape: 50th Birthday Card

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 24 – Gorgeous Grape

This special handmade 50th birthday card features the Perennial Lavender DSP and the Eclipse technique.

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THIS CARD
Milestone birthdays are always worth celebrating and this half century one is for my little sister. We celebrated with a special dinner on Saturday night. She loves her garden, so flowers were my go to patterned paper.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Secret Sea card base, 21cm x 21cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Stamp – some Secret Sea Cardstock is stamped with Versamark ink, Gold WOW Emboss powder added and melted with the Heat Tool.

3. Layering – The Perennial Lavender DSP layer is 9.5cm x 20cm and the Gorgeous Grape layer is 9.7cm x 20.2cm.  Place the DSP onto the cutting plate of your diecut machine. Place the letters across the centre and diecut them. Glue the DSP to the Gorgeous Grape layer and then adhere them to the card base. Diecut the letters again with Foam Adhesive Sheets. Remove the backing paper and place them into the DSP spaces. Remove the top backing piece from the Foam Adhesive Sheet and add the diecut letters to create the eclipse.

4. Add the sentiment – adhere the sentiment with a dimensional in the centre and a little glue on the T and Y where the sentiment sits.

5. Finishing touches – some Adhesive-backed Heart Sequins & Purple Fine Shimmer Gems are added.

Garden Green: Christmas Tags & More

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 23 – Garden Green

Today I have some Christmas inspiration with the Christmas Tags & More 6″ x 6″ Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP).  Now that is a mouthful, but rightly so, as there is so much included in this pack, from paper, printed die cuts & tags!

Here are my cards

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THESE CARDS
No inks, no stamps, just beautiful papers and embellishments. You can easily re-create these in no time with these papers and some cardstock and adhesives you already have at home.

How you can re-create these cards

1. Create the base – 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm and the slimline card is 21cm x 21cm, scorede at 10.5cm

2. LayeringCard 1 – has some Designer paper with a Real Red matt, some Garden Green card with a long piece of Designer paper on top. Two thing Gold Foil strips added either side. Some Christmas Greenery die cuts in Soft Sea Foam and Garden Green with the printed die cut of the red cardinal.
Card 2 – I actually cut 1″ off the side of the card front to have the beautiful strip of DSP showing. The front has some designer paper, but before adhering it, I used a needle and threaded some Linen Thread through the paper and adhered it behind before gluing the paper to the card.  This is tied through the top of one of the printed diecut ornaments, added on Dimensionals.

3. Add the sentiments – the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack with the gold foil sentiments on thick white card and adhesive on the back are the perfect sentiments for all your cards this Christmas.

4. Finishing touches – some Dear Dots, Linen Thread bow (card 2) and Gold Shaker Stars (card 3) have been added. Wink of Stella is added to the bird and all the berries on the designer paper.

Fresh Freesia: Charming Day Birthday

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 22 – Fresh Freesia

This handmade card features the Charming Day stamp set, coordinating dies and Floral Charm Designer Series Paper (DSP).

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THIS CARD
I adore this style of card, however I’m not naturally able to come up with it myself, so I need to thank Kim McGillis who I cased the idea from. I was very happy with the result and adore this colour combination of Fresh Freesia, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Pecan Pie card base, 21cm x 14.5cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Stamp and colour – the card base is stamped with the floral image in Pecan Pie ink for a beautiful tone-on-tone look. Two more images are stamped onto Basic White card and die cut with the coordinating die. These are coloured with Water Painters and inks; Fresh Freesia and Crumb Cake. The sentiment is stamped onto Basic White card and flagged at either end with Paper Snips to create a banner.

3. Layering – Some Fresh Freesia cardstock [12.5cm x 8.5cm] is ruffed up around the edges with Paper Snips and the corners folded slightly for that rustic look. A piece of the patterned paper, the same size is added on the angle. A Basic White die cut [Traditional Labels dies] has some ink blending with Fresh Freesia ink. I used the Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Write Marker to flick some splatter onto the label. Sitting the sentiment in place, I was able to add the floral images so they partially sit behind. I die cut some of the leaves in Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie card and placed them behind the floral images and the label.

4. Add the sentiment – added on Dimensionals and then I used my Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Marker to splatter some ink across the sentiment and floral images.

5. Finishing touches – a double bow of Linen Thread is added on a Glue Dot and some Starburst Sequins added. On the inside, a simple Basic White insert with a stamped image and this same treatment was added to the envelope!

Flirty Flamingo: Extraordinary Flora Birthday card

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 21 – Flirty Flamingo

This handmade card features the ever so pretty Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and the Traditional Labels dies, found in the Sept-Dec Mini catalogue.

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THIS CARD
A few years back, we had a technique for a floating frame where the die cut pieces sat up on Dimensionals. I took this similar approach to add the die cut pieces around the sentiment labels and it worked out rather well don’t you think?!! This would also make the most beautiful Mother’s Day card with all those flowers.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Thick White card base, 21cm x 14.9cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Layering – Die cut two labels [Traditional Labels dies] in Flirty Flamingo card and Basic White card. Both are added on Dimenionals to the centre of the card base.

4. Add the sentiment – Stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink onto the white label using the Charming Day stamp set.

6. Finishing touches – the washi tape is added to some Thick Basic White card and die cut. Place Dimensionals onto each piece then add them to the card around thr sentiment. A Baker’s Twine double bow completes the card.

Many of us also participate in the Heart of Christmas blog hop that goes live every Monday night, where we showcase Christmas inspiration in the lead up to Christmas. We would love you to follow us!
