Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 25 - 2024-2025 - Fresh Freesia - Cutest Onsie Baby

 

Welcome to our half way point of the Colour Creations Blog Hop for 2024-25. Yes we couldn't believe it either that we were at week 25 of 50 for this year! Today we are all about Fresh Freesia!

For my project today I have followed JanB from the UK on her Step Pop Up Card but I have created a Baby Shower Card. I was asked by the very excited first time Grandma and my dear friend to create a card for her daughter for the Baby Shower that we attended back in September.

This is my colour combination for my project, could help adding a little bit of my favourite blackberry bliss into the mix!

So for my project I got out the Cutest Onesie stamp set and dies. As I was making a special card I also made a box to put the special card in.

Let's talk a few details. The card bask is Fresh Freesia and I have layered that with Pool party and Basic which before adding this gorgeous Thoughtful Journey DSP which has the Fresh Freesia running through the middle of it! This is the center of the card I have laid flat and added my first box.

From that first box I have added another 4 but this time the top layer is a piece of the Thoughtful Journey DSP with Blackberry Bliss.

To decorate the inside of the card I have used both Fresh Freesia and Pool Party Card take out the Mini Alphabet dies to cut out the word Baby.

The Hearts are from the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing and Die bundle where you emboss and cut the hearts out at the same time! Love it!

For the front of the card I have again layered with the Fresh Freesia Card Bad with Pool Party and Basic White with a layer of Thoughtful Journey DSP. I then used the Wildflower Designs Dies to cut out the frames, one in Pool Party, then Basic White, layered the scalloped frame which is cut out in Blackberry Bliss piece of Thoughtful Journey and then one more Piece of Basic White. I then coloured a piece of Basic White Bakers Twine with Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends to give it a little colour for our clothes line and with the Cutest Onesies dies cut out a silver coat hanger. For the Onsie I stamped in Fresh Freesia onto the Thoughtful Journey DSP and cut it out with dies, the little pocket was done in Pool Party. Of course you needed bling and there are a couple of Basic Rhinestones.

On the back of the card I used on of the hearts that I still had over and I also cut out the 1,2,3 and the Baby rattles from the Cutest Onesies dies to add to where you would write on this card. Did you see this gorgeous Pool Party Pom Pom ribbon that I attached under the focal point at the front and around the back to hold the card together.

As I mentioned earlier I made a box for the card and I have followed the decoration from the card to the front of the box!

The sentiment for the card and the front of the box is from the Cutest Onesie stamp set and I have used the Something Fancy dies to cut them out.
