Week 9 - AWH Colour Creations Showcase - "Cherry Cobbler"

Welcome to week 9 of out Colour Creations Showcase and we are doing another colour that I really love.

This week Cherry Cobbler.

I have 3 cards for you tonight.

rhapsodyincraft, Butterfly Wishes, Here's A Card, Friendship Card, Sympathy Card, Cherry Cobbler, Ornate Garden DSP, Stampin' Blends, Stampin' Up!

The first card for you is a friendship card and I have used a simple colour palette for it.

rhapsodyincraft, Butterfly Wishes, Here's A Card, Friendship Card, Cherry Cobbler, Stampin' Up!

This card is a really simple layout and I have used a sneak peak of the Black and White Roses in the DSP of the Magic In This Night DSP from the new August-December Mini on page 53.

I have used the Scripty 3D embossing folder to add some dimension and texture to the card and I really loved the sentiment to send to anyone at this time from the Here's A Card stamp set.
The Whisper White Crinkles seam binding is coloured with the dark Cherry Cobbler stampin' Blends and I thought I needed a little more bling so I added some elegant faceted gems that are new this year.
Check out the items in my product list at the end of the post and then get the DSP in August.

For my next 2 cards I did something a little different.

rhapsodyincraft, Here's A Card, Sympathy Card, Cherry Cobbler, Ornate Garden DSP, Stampin' Blends, Stampin' Up!

I took the gorgeous Ornate Garden Specialty DSP with the Gold Foil running through it and coloured it with the Stampin' Blends.

I just love how Stampin' Up have many options for us to create many different looks with the DSP and with the Blends.

So for the small quarter of the DSP that I coloured I didn't have any waste.

This first card I used the rectangle stitched dies and cut out 4 panels and layered them with Gold Foil. The Ribbon is a sneak peak and is Old Olive with Gold foil trim and is found on page 25 of the August- December mini.

With the rest of the coloured DSP I made this second card and had it as the main focus. My friend lost her father this past couple of days so I wanted to make her a sympathy card so wanted to spend the time colouring these flowers in. Here's A Card Stamp set is a great stamp set for sentiments for any occassion. Now I just have to chose between the 2 to sent her.

Week 8 - AWH Colour Creations Showcase - "Calypso Coral"

Another week and another beautiful colour. Stampin' Up! has such gorgeous colours.

This week Calypso Coral

This wee I have made 2 cards for you. I had a friend get some bad news this week and I thought I would make a card for her.

Rhapsody in craft, Timeless Tulips, Calypso Coral, Well Said, Tasteful Touches, Free As A Bird, Friendship Cards, Stampin' Up

I really had her in mind when I made both of these cards as well as my Grandmother as it was her Mother in law that has just been diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer. My Grandmother loved Tulips so I wanted to make a tulip card as my I know this lovely woman as well and Grandmothers are so special.

Rhapsody in craft, Calypso Coral, Tasteful Touches, Free As A Bird, Friendship Cards, Stampin' Up

For my first card I have used the most gorgeous rose from Tasteful Touches and the sentiment from Free As A Bird.

Here is my Colour Combination for this card:

I love all the layers of Calypso Coral DSP that you can find in the subtle 6x6 DSP.

I have stamped the gorgeous roses in Smokey slate and then coloured them in with the Stampin' Blends.

I really love this sentiment and at this time in our world our friends are so important.

For my Second Card I saw this card on a blog by Maureen Rauchfuss but she had made it into a fancy fold for Mother's Day. I wanted to give the card a go and play with it a bit. Thanks for the inspiration Maureen.

Rhapsody in craft, Timeless Tulips, Calypso Coral, Well Said, Friendship Cards, Stampin' Up

I have stamped all the tulips in Calypso Coral and punched some out with the Tulip builder punch and fussy cut the medium and smaller tulips.

Here is the colour combination for this card:

The sentiment is just perfect for my friend right now as they fine out about their Mother-in-laws cancer and as they go through all the steps to help her get treatment.

For the the pearls I have coloured them with the dark Calypso coral Stampin' Blends.

Please head on over to the lovely Cathy Proctors Blog to see how the team have used Calypso Coral tonight. I am always excited and inspired by these creative women. Cathy's Blog
