Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 16 - 2024 -2025 - Calypso Coral Double Door Pop Up Card!

 

Welcome to Calypso Coral week of the 2024-25 Colour Creations Blog Hop. I think this would be my Dad's favourite colour and I think that is because it is like a salmon colour and he likes fishing! LOL! 

I need to thank the wonderful Stampin' Up Demonstrator Michelle Grech from thINK out loud Papercrafting here in Victoria Australia for my fun fold today. I followed her Facebook live tutorial to create my card. The fun fold card is a Double Door Pop Up!

For my card base I have used Calypso Coral and a layer Pebbled Path before adding the gorgeous Thoughtful Journeys DSP which has some of our lovely Calypso Coral as one of its colours.

When you open the card you will see 2 doors on their opening mechanism. I have added a little Pebbled Path on the doors and then on the outer edge and on the doors I have decorated with the beautiful Thoughtful Journeys DSP.

When you open your card completely the doors will fold out and on the inside of the card I have again layered with Pebble Path and on the Basic White layer I have stamped the lovely little flower stamp in Smokey Slate and the sentiment in Pebble Path. The flowers I have coloured with Stampin' Blends - Light & Dark Mossy Meadow and Light & Dark Calypso Coral.

On the front of the card have cut 3 circles with the Deckled circle dies and I have embossed the Basic White layer with the Cross Hatch Embossing Folder from the Basic 3D embossing set of folders. The labels are cut from the Something Fancy Dies and I have stamped the sentiment in Pebbled Path. The leaves have been stamped in Smokey Slate and and coloured in Light & Dark Mossy Meadow. The Die Cut leaves have been blended first before die cut.

I have used the blending brushes to add Calypso Coral and Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White card before cutting out the large leaf die and 2 smaller leaf dies. It doesn't have to be perfectly blended as leaves are mottled.

Here is a short video of how the card opens to give you an idea of how wonderful this fun fold really is!
