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.

Colour Creation Blog Hop - Week 13 - 2024-2025 - Boho Blue - Everyday Details Baby Card

 

Welcome to week 13 of the colour creations blog hop. We are looking at the colour Boho Blue this week and I think you are going to love it. 

This week I have another fun fold for you! I know that last week if you have been following along I said that is was an easy fun/fancy fold and some of you disagreed. Well this week, super simple is the name of the game!

We have some lovely family friends and we went to the wedding of the eldest daughter early last year, we are so excited that they are expecting. SO while I was waiting for the gender reveal (only immediate family were invited) I made a card with Boho Blue to go with the present I wanted to give before we get to the Baby shower later in the year.

I used a number of items as you can see to make this sweet card, along with the Everyday Details bundle!

The card base is Boho Blue card stock cut in half vertically at the 10.5 cm mark then I scored and folded it in half and folded one half back on itself. I then embossed some Crumb Cake card stock with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder and adhered that to the card base.

The card base then forms a "z"

The focal point card base is created by a layer of Boho Blue card and a layer of Basic White which I have blended with Boho Blue ink and the blending brush to make a soft blue background for the focal image to sit on.

The colours I have used in my image which I have stamped in crumb cake are Coastal Cabana, Cajun Craze, Basic White, Crumb Cake and Boho Blue. I have cut out using the Everyday Detail dies and then backed it with a deckled circle cut out of Boho Blue card so you can see it through the little holes in the die cut circle.

To colour the image which is stamped in crumb cake I used the water colour pencils, blender pen and Wink of Stella. The Wink of Stella really made the eggs sparkle! I used the blender pen on the eggs and then the Wink of Stella but by adding that extra amount of Cajun Craze behind the eggs in the nest it makes them look like they are really nestled in to stay warm!

To colour the Iridescent Striped Trim (ribbon) I have used the Dark Boho Blue Stampin' Blends. Along with the basic pearls which have also been coloured the the Boho Blue Stampin' Blends.

The image is popped up on dimensionals and the sentiment stamped in Boho Blue and cut it out with the Everyday Details dies is also popped up on one end. The trim is adhered using a mini glue dot!

On the inside of the card I have added a space to write on the card.

Well wouldn't you know it, at the gender reveal my Boho Blue card has to turn into a Bubble Bath card and that is the colour of next week so here is the card in both colours!

I like it in both colours and now you know that next week is another fabulous colour for you to come back and check out all the wonderful creation from the team.
