Welcome to week 5 of the 2023 -24 Colour Creations Blog Hop and Week 5 of the new 2023-25 InColors. This week we are looking at Wild Wheat. 
While Wheat, Stampin' Up!, Rhapsody in craft, #rhapsodyincraft, #colourcreationsblog hop
This week I have created with the Textured Floral Bundle, I have placed all the gorgeous flowers on a base of our spotlight colour with a layer of Fresh as a Daisy DSP embossed in the Timeworn Type #d Embossing Folder.

I just love the rustic look the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder gives to the Back of one of the Fresh of A Daisy DSP pieces.
Then I went all out stamping the 3 flowers from the Textured floral stamp set in Bubble Bath and Moody Mauve for the top layer and then Moody Mauve for the middle layer and finally my favourite colour Blackberry Bliss and layered the three together.

I also stamped a Lemon Lolly flower along with some Mossy Meadow leaves before using the Textured Floral Dies to cut them out along with some Wild Wheat leaves and Mossy Meadow Leaves and finishing with a double bow of linen thread.

But as you can imagine my card does not finish quite there. Let's open it and see what happens!

I know you guessed it! I have created a fancy fold on the inside of my card. It is a Triple Panel Pop Up Card!

The mechanism for the pop up is a box right at the fold of the card. You can also see that I have used some of the InColor DSP to line the inside of my card.

On this angle you can see how the 3 layers work together on the inside of the box inside the card. 2 on the Left and the middle card on the right. I also stamped the sentiment by masking, then inking, taking off the mask before stamping the words so I could place them just where I wanted as the sentiment stamp was too long for the space I had allowed. You can also see that I have embossed 2 of the panels with the Timeworn Type embossing folder and added Bubble Bath, Moody Mauve and Mossy Meadow stamped leaves and flowers to the inside of the card.

Never fear we needed a place to write on the card so the back needed a little decoration and a place to for you to write is all set.

Here is how the card works, I have done a little video:

Wow, Sharon, as if the front of your card wasn't spectacular enough, you then blow me away with the inside of your Triple Panel Pop Up Card! The pinks and your ever favourite Blackberry Bliss flowers really look amazing against your embossed WW background.

CHRISTINE BLAIN said...

The embossed paper on the front of your card looks so beautiful, Sharon. Gorgeous job with all the floral and "fancy fold" bits!

Kathryn Ruddick said...

I just love your embossed background on the front of your card! I thought your card was "enough" already, and then you opened it to the magic inside! Go you, what a delightful project.

Rachel Woollard said...

I thought the front of your card was fabulous on it's own with those beautiful pinks and Lemon Lolly, and then you show the amazing folds inside the card!

Rachel Palmieri said...

Oh wow! Amazing card Sharon, it's hard to know if I like the inside more than the outside, but I think both sides are winners.

theresa said...

Haha Sharon you had me laughing to myself when I read your words regarding your card being a fancy fold! All of your beautiful flowers compliment Wild Wheat beuatifully and you even managed to include your fave Blackberry Bliss!

Kate Morgan said...

Of course we expect to see the inside of your cards, you always aim to please! I love your pink tones you chose for the flowers and the Lemon Lolly one is a very pretty addition. Love the embossed DSP too!

Rosa Leyden said...

Sharon your card is certainly a ‘wow’ card. The front is beautiful with all the layers and shades of pink, mauve and blackberry and a gorgeous surprise inside the card with the triple panels.

Chris said...

Sharon, your card is beautiful, and I love that there is another surprise of more beautiful flowers on the inside.

Carussell Crafts said...

Sharon, this is a gorgeous card! I thought the front of the card was just stunning - from the embossed background, to the beautiful colours in your floral arrangement. But then the next photo shows the inside, and WOW! A beautiful card inside and out, and just totally stunning!

Andrea said...

Wow oh wow Sharon. Your card is amazing. I love all your layers and texture on the card front and then … a wonderful inside. Thank you for the video - I was mesmerised with the effect. So beautiful. You have inspired me to ink this stamp set. Thank you xxx
