I’m thrilled you are here to join us each Wednesday evening for the AWHT Colour Creations Blog Hop showcasing the full range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours.

Week 33 – Lost Lagoon

Today I feature a triple Z fold card with the Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper (DSP) found in the Online Exclusives section of the online store. Here is the card closed to fit into a C6 envelope. It may not look like much, but just read on!

This is such a fun design to feature these gorgeous otters in all their different poses.

how adorable and fun are these otters – just like they are playing in the water.

Don’t forget to fussy cut the images on the edges of the papers even if they are cut off, as you can add them to the sides of the card.

The little fish are cut in Gold Foil and look so shiny on the patterned paper!

The plant life is die cut in Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock card.

Here is the card fully open. The sentiment is stamped in Lost Lagoon ink.

Place a Basic White piece of card on the back to write your message. I added extra fussy cut images from the edges of the DSP.

I followed the tutorial by Lisa Curcio then updated it to suit Metric measurements.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Melon Mambo.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Christine Blain.

Week 30 – Highland Heather

Today I feature the Umbrella Days bundle, new to the Online Exclusives section of the store.

I first stamped the larger girl image and then masked her by stamping onto masking paper and cutting it out to place over the top of the previously stamped image. This is so when I stamped the smaller child, I could have it to appear behind the larger image. But warning, don’t be like me, and forget to take a little stickyness away from the masking paper. Ooops, I ripped the card when I was removing it.

The dog was stamped last. To try and cover up my booboo, I decided to add some paper piecing! Stamping the images onto Designer paper and then cutting out sections, eg the coat, to glue over the stamped image. I did this for the umbrella, coat and boots of the large image, the boots of the child and the coat for the dog! The rest were coloured with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers.

I wanted to add the rain, so stamped the rain in Versamark ink, added clear emboss powder and melted it with my Heat Tool. I used a blending brush to add colour from the bottom to top using Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party & Highland Heather.

I cut two strips of grass and coloured them with Blends Combo Markers; Lemon Lime Twist & Soft Sea Foam. The little flowers were coloured using Highland Heather.

This layer is added to Gold Foil and to a Highland Heather card front. Some dots were added using a White Gelly Pen.

On the inside is a 14cm x 28cm Basic White insert scored at 4.5cm & 9cm from either end. Some Meandering Meadows Designer Series paper is added to 3 of the 4 panels and a Wanted to Say die cut sentiment in the centre. This was then mounted to another Highland Heather card base (14.5cm x 10.5cm).

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Lemon Lime Twist.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Di Furniss.
