Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 19 - 2024-2025 - Copper Clay Hideaway Pop Up Card

 

Welcome to our weekly Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are looking at the lovely brown of Copper Clay.

Today I have been searching the many different fancy folds around to bring you and I found one that Barry at Mituso Craft in the UK did a video for and I have recreated it using the A Little Latte Collection.

As you can see from the front of the card it looks like a normal regular card it is only as it opens that you see the surprise. I will show you that in a minute. Let me tell you how I created the decoration on the front.

The card base is our colour of the week Copper Clay and then I have a layer of Early Espresso. For the next layer I have used the stamps in the Love Latte stamp set and stamped in Copper Clay and Early Espresso the drops of coffee onto the Basic White card and then the coffee beans in Early Espresso to create my own background. The using the Deckled Circle Dies I have cut out a layer of Copper Clay card and the coffee cups from the A Little Latte DSP. Again using the Love Latte Dies, I have cut out the coffee Plunger in Copper Clay and the inside with the DSP and the Lemon Lolly Cup is also from the DSP. The Sentiment is stamped in Copper clay and cut out using the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

When you open the card you have another sentiment and a coffee pot, a couple of cups cut out of the DSP being handed to you and it all folds down into your coffee table. I have stamped the coffee cup in Copper Clay and used my Blender pen to draw out the ink to add a little more colour and the coffee is very strong in this one!

Here is a video of the card opening for you so that you know how it works.

On the back of the card is where you will need to add a panel so that you can write your message to the recipient.

I have tied the card together with the White diagonal trim from Petal Pink and White Combo pack.

If you have any questions about my card today please do not hesitate to contact me.

Colour Creations Blog Hop - 2023-2024 - Week 2 - Copper Clay - Wedding Card

Welcome to week 2 of the 2023-2024 Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week we are looking at the new 2023-25 InColor Copper Clay.

 I need a wedding card this week as we have a wedding to go to on Friday and I thought that Copper Clay paired with Gold Foil and Mossy Meadow would be the perfect match in colouring! The Bride and Groom especially the groom was not into a lot of flowery so I thought the Artistic Dies in Gold foil would be just the ticket for this card! Especially for an autumn wedding!

Now the colours and themes of the Wedding was Mossy Meadow and the leaves so I thought I hit the mark with those 2 elements for the card and the Copper Clay when you water wash it on the Basic White comes out a little pink tones!

So  I have used Copper Clay with the wide Water Painter and very watery and then added some mossy meadow as over it.

Then I thought  I would have some fun and get out the Gold gilded leafing.

I know this looks a little odd but under all this Gilded Leafing I have a little bit of liquid glue.

It turns out like this when it is dry and you rub off all the extra gold. Not a bad background!

I have layered the made background on some gold foil and then put it on the Copper Clay card base before layering over with gold the gold leaves. I cut one with the die face down so the leaves faced in from the right and then cut one face up on the underneath side of the gold foil so the leaves would face in from the left.

I have stamped the sentiment in versamark and heat embossed in gold from the Something Fancy stamp set and cut it out with the Radiating Stitches Dies which is an online exclusive die set! I popped that on with some dimensionals before cutting out the hearts using the same dies and adding the bows from the Simply Elegant Trim set of gold and silver.

I couldn't let such a special card have an inside not dressed so I added some gold under the area to write my message to the happy couple and another gorgeous radiating stitched heart!

Bring on the wedding on Friday. 

If you have any questions about todays card or would like the new annual catalogue please get in contact with me.
