Week 9 - AWH Colour Creations Showcase - "Cherry Cobbler"

Welcome to week 9 of out Colour Creations Showcase and we are doing another colour that I really love.

This week Cherry Cobbler.

I have 3 cards for you tonight.

rhapsodyincraft, Butterfly Wishes, Here's A Card, Friendship Card, Sympathy Card, Cherry Cobbler, Ornate Garden DSP, Stampin' Blends, Stampin' Up!

The first card for you is a friendship card and I have used a simple colour palette for it.

rhapsodyincraft, Butterfly Wishes, Here's A Card, Friendship Card, Cherry Cobbler, Stampin' Up!

This card is a really simple layout and I have used a sneak peak of the Black and White Roses in the DSP of the Magic In This Night DSP from the new August-December Mini on page 53.

I have used the Scripty 3D embossing folder to add some dimension and texture to the card and I really loved the sentiment to send to anyone at this time from the Here's A Card stamp set.
The Whisper White Crinkles seam binding is coloured with the dark Cherry Cobbler stampin' Blends and I thought I needed a little more bling so I added some elegant faceted gems that are new this year.
Check out the items in my product list at the end of the post and then get the DSP in August.

For my next 2 cards I did something a little different.

rhapsodyincraft, Here's A Card, Sympathy Card, Cherry Cobbler, Ornate Garden DSP, Stampin' Blends, Stampin' Up!

I took the gorgeous Ornate Garden Specialty DSP with the Gold Foil running through it and coloured it with the Stampin' Blends.

I just love how Stampin' Up have many options for us to create many different looks with the DSP and with the Blends.

So for the small quarter of the DSP that I coloured I didn't have any waste.

This first card I used the rectangle stitched dies and cut out 4 panels and layered them with Gold Foil. The Ribbon is a sneak peak and is Old Olive with Gold foil trim and is found on page 25 of the August- December mini.

With the rest of the coloured DSP I made this second card and had it as the main focus. My friend lost her father this past couple of days so I wanted to make her a sympathy card so wanted to spend the time colouring these flowers in. Here's A Card Stamp set is a great stamp set for sentiments for any occassion. Now I just have to chose between the 2 to sent her.

Week 4 - AWH Colour Creations Showcase - "Blackberry Bliss"

This week Blackberry Bliss

Ask anyone what is Sharon's favourite Stampin' Up! colour? Blackberry Bliss would have to be the one that they would say before any other colour, so I was so happy that when the colour revamp was done a couple of years ago it was back in and here to stay!

Here are the products from the catalogue that are this gorgeous rich, yummy, delicious colour!

So tonight I have combined some of these products with others and made you a Double "Z" Fold card.

I have paired my card with the Flowers for Every Season DSP as it just so gorgeous and you just want to put it on all your cards and projects!

The colours that are used in this gorgeous paper are all the new In Colors plus Poppy Parade and Whisper White. They are so lovely this new lot of In Colors you really should try them in all their forms.

Once I had chosen just the right piece of paper from the Flowers for Every Season I then stamped the focal point of my card using the Butterfly Wishes Stamp set using these colours and with our colour of the week Blackberry Bliss as the star!

Rhapsody in craft, Butterfly Wishes, Fancy Fold, Double Z Fold, Friendship Card, Blackberry Bliss, Flowers for Every Season, 2020-21 Stampin' Up Catalogue, #loveitchopit

For the base of the card I have cut the A4 Blackberry bliss in half folded it and then folded the front back in half to form the "Z" Then I have cut the 6x6 inch piece of Flowers for every season down to have just shy of the 2 inches on the front and the rest on the inside. It is the perfect size for this kind of card and then you just have to adjust the length slightly. There is minimum wastage of a 6x6 piece of designer series paper with this Double "Z" fold card. I didn't double layer the gorgeous paper I wanted both the Blackberry Bliss and the paper to stand out.

To make the Double "Z" I cut an 8 cm x 14.9 cm piece of Whisper White and folded it into a "Z" in equal parts. I adhered the back part down first making sure it was centred before folding up the card and just adhering the little bit to the front. This piece of Whisper White allows you to write on your card.

For the Front of the card I stamped the branch in Cinnamon Cider and then the larger flowers in Blackberry bliss and fussy cut them out with the paper snips and the larger butterfly was also fussy cut. I altered the height of the flowers with a couple down and 1 up with the butterfly with dimensionals to give some added depth and interest to the panel.

The leaves were stamped in Just Jade to match the green in the gorgeous paper. I have also used the Dark Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blend to colour in the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding. I love colouring the seam binding this way to match my projects. The sentiment is also stamped in Blackberry bliss before fussy cut and popped up on mini dimensionals. Of course you can't have a finished project without some bling and this called for some pearls.

I think this would be a perfect card for a friend who loves gardening or butterflies!
