Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 20 - 2024 - 2025 - Crumb Cake - Changing Leaves

 

Welcome to week 20 of the 2024-25 Colour Creations Blog Hop. Each week on a Wednesday the Art with Heart Team take one of the colours from the Stampin' Up range and challenge themselves to create with making that colour the feature! This week we have a favourite of many and a neutral colour - Crumb Cake!

For my card this week I have used a card sketch and cased her card at Stamps-n-Linger by Mary Dethrage and she has used this sketch by Freshly made sketches

Here is the colour combination I have used for my card.

I know you are saying no fancy fold. Well yes every now and then I need to have a break! I have used the beautiful Changing leaves bundle. It has the stamp set and the Hybrid Embossing Folder and Die and the Changing Leaves Dies as well. It is a fantastic bundle.

I have a Crumb Cake Base and then a layer of Crumb Cake which I have embossed with the Changing Leaves Embossing Folder. Over the top of this gorgeous base I have layered die cut leaves and twigs in Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla along with stamped Moody Mauve and die cut leaves for a pop of colour! The sentiment is stamped is Crumb Cake and is from the Changing Leaves stamp set and I have used the Changing Leave dies to cut it out and layered it on a piece of Country Woods DSP which I also used the Changing Leaves Dies to cut out. I had to have some bling so I used the Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins that comes in 4 colours!

This layout and design could be used with any of our other colours to have a "pop" of colour it is such a versatile layout and the wonderful Crumb Cake!

Colour Creation Blog Hop - Week 15 - 2024- 2025 - Cajun Craze - Side by Side Stepper Card

 

Welcome to Cajun Craze week of the 2024-2025 Colour Creations Blog hop! 

I must admit this is not a colour I use very much but I dug deep and tried to find a fancy fold for you to help with the process. I went to Mitosu Crafts the home of Jay and Barry in the UK for this weeks inspiration on the fold and this one came from Jay!

The fold is called a Side by Side Stepper Card

Here is my colour combination for the card.

The card fold is a very simple fold but very effective I think and really the gorgeous Thoughtful Journeys DSP in combinations with the Changing Leaves Bundle Does all the work for you. Don't you just love these gorgeous papers!

So the fold is an 8 inch x 8 inch and you score at 1 inch and then at 2 inch along the bottom and turn and score down the middle at 4 inches. Then cut up to the 2 inch mark on that centre score line and fold. Really simple, then comes the decorations!

I have layered the Cajun Craze base with Very Vanilla and on this panel I have used the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing folder on the Very Vanilla layer. The leaves are in Mossy Meadow and Cajun Craze and a couple of sprigs of Crumb cake. For the solid leaf I use my sponge dauber directly on the stamp and used Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry ink before stamping onto Very Vanilla card. The little bird is from the Country Birdhouse stamp set and I have coloured him using L & D Cajun Craze, Light Calypso Coral, Light Daffodil Delight light Wild Wheat, Black Dot Stampin' Blends.

The little branch that the bird is sitting on is also frontthe  Country Birdhouse stamped 3 times in Crumb Cake then coloured with Cajun Craze watercolour pencil.

On the second panel I have again layered the gorgeous Thoughtful Journey DSP on the Very Vanilla and Cajun Craze and I have added a little bit of lined threat under the sentiments that I have stamped in Cajun craze and then cut out using the Changing Leaves dies.

On the back I have decorated with more of the fabulous Thoughtful Journey DSP and Very Vanilla so your can write to the recipient.

Of course when your card is all folded up it fits perfectly into our envelopes.

I do hope you enjoyed this fun fold if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
