Week 10 - Colour Creations Blog Hop - "Cherry Cobbler"

 

Week 10 and we are at one of my favourites! I know you thought it was Blackberry Bliss and you would be correct that is my favourite but I am quite fond of Cherry Cobbler as well.

I decided to do a fancy fold. I know you are saying about time Sharon that you got back on the fancy fun fold wagon. Ok I did 2 fancy folds in 1 for you today just because you have wondering where they have been hiding! I am running out of fancy fold ideas I tell you!

So no I have not made a Christmas card with Cherry Cobbler but I have used the traditional colours of Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen for my card.  I think if I put the "Just want to say" on the outside in these colours you could put anything on the inside. You could put "Just want to say Merry Christmas" But I needed a birthday card so I have made a birthday card. 

I have used the gorgeous Art Gallery Stamp set and Floral Gallery Dies for this card as it is just so quick to put it together. I have stamped the flowers first in Petal Pink and then in Cherry Cobbler and the leaves are in Evening Evergreen. I have cut them out with the dies and also cut a layer of them in the Cherry Cobbler card and Evening Evergreen Card. The smaller flower I have popped up on dimensionals on the larger flower to give a bit more movement to the flower.

The Designer Series Paper I have used on the front and the inside of the card are quite the mix. The Cherry Cobbler DSP is from the Tidings of Christmas 6x6 pack and the little bit of gold you can see is from the new 12x12 Gold Shimmer Vellum, and the other piece as the backing to the focal point is from the Simply Elegant 12x12 Specialty Designer series paper and is the other side to the side you will see on the surprise on the inside of the card.

So the main fancy fold of the card is a Book Fold card and I made one for our first week of the all new in colours and I forgot to put it in the post so I thought I would make another one. and the second fold is the inside pop up surprise card using the Simply Elegant Specialty DSP.

So on the inside of the card you have the fold that pops open. On one section I have stamped and cut out with the dies another flower and adhered it and also the Happy Birthday. and on the other square you can have a place to write to the person you are giving the card.

Here is a little video of how it opens. I asked my daughter to help me video it so you could see how the card pops up.

If you have any questions about todays card please do not hesitate to contact me. Such a fun quick card to make.
