Colour Creations Blog Hop - 2023-2024 - Week 22 - Early Espresso

 


Welcome to week 22 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop for 2023-2024. This week we are looking at a Neutral colour - Early Espresso!


I know I have said the last couple of fancy folds that I have done have been easy well today this one is not as easy! It is a hexagon pop up box card! Well I think that is what we will call it.

Well you might be saying that doesn't look like a hexagon. Well no it is a circle but the bottom is. I have used the Happy Birthday from the Celebrate with Tags stamp set for the sentiment and it is stamped in Early Espresso. So how is this card put together, I hear you ask?
The base of the card is made up of 2 lengths joined together to form the hexagon. I have decorated 1 half with Rose Gold Specialty foil Paper and then used the gorgeous Inked Botanicals DSP over the top. On the second half some basic white so you can write your message.

In the centre of the of the hexagon I have made some paper springs so that after you have laid the card flat for packaging it will pop open. 
The middle section joins the hexagon together and is also where I attach the focal point.

For my focal point I have used the Deckled Circle Dies and layered the Early Espresso, Rose Gold and Inked Botanicals before getting out the Paper Florist Dies. I have chosen to make the flowers in Early  Espresso with Wild Wheat centre, Crumb Cake, and Pecan Pie, a flower out of the Inked Botanicals on the end of the Mossy Meadow and Soft Sea Foam I have Copper Clay flowers buds.

It was quite a fun card to make and the hardest part is the springs in the middle.

It does fold flat so you can make a box or envelope to go around it to give to that special someone.

    That Rose Gold paper is throwing all sorts of rainbow colours in your photos, Sharon! I love the colours you used for the flowers and foliage; lovely earthy colours that complement Early Espresso so well.

    Oh holy heck, that is outstanding, Sharon. Those flowers are so beautifully put together and great colour choices. The Rose Gold adds a beautiful shine. The springy mechanism looks rather challenging, but good on you for showing us how it works!
