Welcome to week 1 of the 2024-25 Colour Creations Blog Hop! How exciting it is to be in a brand nee year of Stampin' Up! with a new catalogue and 5 brand new InColors and a new neutral colour. These 6 new colours will be the first 6 weeks of our Colour Creations Blog Hop for this year. I can't wait for you to join me and the some of the amazingly creative  Art With Heart Team as we share with you the year of Colour Creations Inspirations!

This week we start with Peach Pie!

So today I have made a simple fancy fold card for you as why wouldn't I. I have made a Double Box Fold Card. I only have 1 project today as I am in the middle of making 100 boxes for Mother's Day and I have just finished a project of 45 boxes, 11 baskets and 12 embroidered table cloths for an event. I will have photos at the end of this post to show you. I hope you forgive me for a quick card today!

I have used the beautiful Country Flowers Bundle from the Country Woods Suite which you can find on page 50 of the new Annual Catalogue!

I created the base of the card in Crumb Cake and decorated it with the New InColor DSP leaf design with Peach Pie before continuing on with the focal point design.

Behind the pot of flowers I have cut a piece of the Country Woods DSP using the Nested Essential Dies. After cutting it in the largest of die in the rounded rectangle I decided that it was not quite tall enough for all of my lovely flowers, pot and stool, so I extended it by cutting half and then turning and placing the die in the grooves to line up the die correct and extending it a little more and only cutting half again.

It the Country Flowers stamp set there are 2 lots of flowers and I thought that I could stamp both sets and add lots of flowers to a bucket. Plus who doesn't like to get a lot a flowers! I have popped all of these up on dimensionals and added a couple of Peach Pie die cut flowers as well with the Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls. I love that all of these stamped images can be die cut! Did you notice a little bit of Peach Pie ribbon peaking out?

Do you see the flower market stamp? I stamped that in Basic Gray after I had finished colouring the pot, you could also leave it off but I kind of like it.

On the back of the card I stamped the sentiment from the Country Flowers stamp set and cut them out with the Nested Essential dies and the card folds up neatly to go in an envelope.

OMG Sharon, you have been a busy lady! Your card definitely doesn't look like a quick card, it's beautiful!

CHRISTINE BLAIN said...

We definitely have a favourite bundle for this week's blog hop! I love what you've done with Country Flowers, Sharon. The blooms are gorgeous, but I think my favourite parts of the card are the bucket and the DSP behind your focal image! Great choices.

Cathy Proctor said...

LOL, I nearly spat my tea out when I read your apology for making a simple card, Sharon. This fancy fold with all your gorgeous colouring is far from simple, it is stunning. And thank you for sharing the photos of some of the 100 boxes you are making for Mother's Day - they look fantastic too.

Theresa Gerrard said...

Oh my Sharon you have been extremely busy. I hope you have found time to rest as well. Don't want you getting one of those things that we wont mention! Your card is far from simple and absolutely full of beautiful colour. Would love to see photos of the embroidered tablecloths too. Well done Superwoman.

Michele Taylor said...

Oh my goodness you have been busy. Thanks for sharing your 'SIMPLE' fancy fold Sharon. It is fabulous.

Dear Sharon, what a beautiful card - and definitely not simple. I love your colouring of the bucket and stool, they look really 3 dimensional! And the Market stamp is perfect because the box design really does look like a market stall. Perfect!

Pretty impressive for a ‘simple’ and quick card! Fabulous colouring , particularly the bucket holding the bright cheerful flowers. Don’t know how you seem to fit in all these projects and manage the blog hops - inspiring!

Ros said...

For a "simple" fancy fold is it still very impressive. I can't believe how busy you have been.

Kate Morgan said...

I love the 'flower market' stamp on the pot and the way you've shaded it, it looks amazing. Of course more flowers are always better and you sure did deliver. This is such a great fancy fold design and I love this particular pattern of the In Color DSP.

Tina said...

The abundance of flowers on your card looks amazing! They are shown off so well on the double box fold card. I hope that your Mother's Day event goes well.

Sharon, your card is gorgeous! I just love your fancy folds and that DSP is to so beautiful. Good luck with your 100 gift boxes.
