Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 1 - 2024-25 - Peach Pie

 

Welcome to week 1 of the 2024-25 Colour Creations Blog Hop! How exciting it is to be in a brand nee year of Stampin' Up! with a new catalogue and 5 brand new InColors and a new neutral colour. These 6 new colours will be the first 6 weeks of our Colour Creations Blog Hop for this year. I can't wait for you to join me and the some of the amazingly creative  Art With Heart Team as we share with you the year of Colour Creations Inspirations!

This week we start with Peach Pie!

So today I have made a simple fancy fold card for you as why wouldn't I. I have made a Double Box Fold Card. I only have 1 project today as I am in the middle of making 100 boxes for Mother's Day and I have just finished a project of 45 boxes, 11 baskets and 12 embroidered table cloths for an event. I will have photos at the end of this post to show you. I hope you forgive me for a quick card today!

I have used the beautiful Country Flowers Bundle from the Country Woods Suite which you can find on page 50 of the new Annual Catalogue!

I created the base of the card in Crumb Cake and decorated it with the New InColor DSP leaf design with Peach Pie before continuing on with the focal point design.

Behind the pot of flowers I have cut a piece of the Country Woods DSP using the Nested Essential Dies. After cutting it in the largest of die in the rounded rectangle I decided that it was not quite tall enough for all of my lovely flowers, pot and stool, so I extended it by cutting half and then turning and placing the die in the grooves to line up the die correct and extending it a little more and only cutting half again.

It the Country Flowers stamp set there are 2 lots of flowers and I thought that I could stamp both sets and add lots of flowers to a bucket. Plus who doesn't like to get a lot a flowers! I have popped all of these up on dimensionals and added a couple of Peach Pie die cut flowers as well with the Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls. I love that all of these stamped images can be die cut! Did you notice a little bit of Peach Pie ribbon peaking out?

I have loved to colour since the year dot and here are all the Stampin' Blends I used to colour these images.

The stool: Dark and Light Crumb Cake
The Pot: Light and Dark Smoky Slate
The Flowers: Light and Dark Peach Pie, Light and Dark  Petunia Pop, Dark Bubble Bath, Light Flirty Flamingo, Light, Lemon Lolly, Light and Dark Daffodil Delight, Ivory, Light Lost Lagoon.

Do you see the flower market stamp? I stamped that in Basic Gray after I had finished colouring the pot, you could also leave it off but I kind of like it.

On the back of the card I stamped the sentiment from the Country Flowers stamp set and cut them out with the Nested Essential dies and the card folds up neatly to go in an envelope.
