Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 5 - 2024-2025 - Summer Splash

 

Welcome to week 5 of the 2024-25 Colour Creation Blog hop. This week we are looking at the 5th New InColor for 2024-26 and we are celebrating all things Summer Splash! 

Today I created for you a swing fancy fold card! I have not made one of these in such a long time so I thought I would make one for you today.

I used the Thoughtful Expressions Stamp set and Dies for the card as I really love the sentiments and you can use them for friendship cards or sympathy cards. Today I made a friendship card.

The card lays flat so you can decorate. I have a Crumb Cake Card Base and I have layered it with out colour of the day Summer Splash Card and then with the InColor DSP. I consulted my creative design team also known as my Daughter as to which of the designs I should use of the DSP and she decided that today the stripes would win as it would be like a picture frame around the focal point!

The other side of the card I have stamped similar to the front but used a different sentiment. This is why I have called it a friendship card today as I have used enjoy your day instead of  perhaps leaving it blank but it there is still room for you to write to your recipient.

For the focal point of the card I have layered a piece of the Summer Splash card stock on the Crumb Cake base before stamping on the Basic White. I have used the large flower stamp from the set and stamped in crumb cake and then cut a mask and stamped again twice to create the corner before stamping the smaller flower and cutting it out with the dies. The bird is cut out with the dies and both, the flower and the bird are coloured with the Stampin' Blends. The colours I use are Light and Dark Summer Splash, Dark Soft Sea Foam, Light and Dark Pretty In Pink, Light and Dark Calypso Coral.

And when folded the card fits perfectly into our C6 envelopes.

Here is a short video of the card swinging, just so you can see how it works.
