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 Creations Blog Hop - Week 19 - Crumb Cake

 

Welcome to Colour Creations Blog Hop Crumb Cake week!

I needed to do something really simple today or at least something that didn't require a lot construction. So no fancy fold today my friends. I have been in search of medication for my daughter that seems to be not in the country until the end of the year and she can't just stop this one and go cold turkey so I am not exactly sure how that works. Oh the joys of the supply chain!

So for my card to day I wanted texture and I thought I would then stamp a simple flower, heat emboss it and use bleach. So let's see if I managed any of that.

Here is my colour combination, plus a little gold heat emboss added in.

I started with a crumb cake card base and sponged some crumb cake around the edge which I did for the DSP layer and the embossed layers and sentiment. The DSP layer is part of the Earther Elegance DSP

I layered that with a piece of Crumb Cake embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder then the strips are another layer of Crumb cake embossed with the crisscross embossing folder from the Basic 3D embossing folder set of 3 that is an online exclusive.

To create the flowers I have heat embossed in gold onto crumb cake cardstock the flowers from the Quiet Meadow stamp set and then with bleach I have painted over the flowers petals. This brings out a lovely yellow. I then fussy cut them and to compliment the flowers I added to leaf die cuts in Ombre Pretty Peacock from the Earther Elegance DSP and also die cut out the pot and wrapped it with the Natural Wavy Trim. Plus a couple of spiky sticks in Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea foam from the Earther Texture Dies. The Leaves were die cut from the Gorgeously Made Dies as was the sentiment which was heat embossed in gold.

Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 15 - Crumb Cake

 

Welcome to week 15 of the colour creations blog hop for 2022-23. This week we are looking at the neutral colour of Crumb Cake.

This week I have cased a card design from Ronda Wade. It is a simple layout but as I am needing a few simple cards for the next few weeks I hope you don't mind. I will get back to the fancy folds and back to regular scheduled programming after the daughter has turned 21 and I have dealt with all those shenanigans in a months time. Let the preparations begin!

So the card is a simple lay out and I finally took out my Wisteria Wishes stamp set which I absolutely love but hadn't cracked it open yet. I know what was I thinking. I need to use it more!

The card base is Crumb Cake and then I have another layer of Crumb Cake Card. What I have done is taken one of the Petal Pink 6x6 pieces of Tea Boutique DSP and cut it down to fit the front piece and the bit left over trimmed it down after turning it on it's side to fit behind the front and adhered it to the card base.

Before adhering the piece of Tea Boutique DSP to the front of the card I stamped the stems in Early Espresso, I did this on my Stamparatus so I could stamp and then hinge down 2 steps and stamped the next lot of stems. I then did the same with the more solid flower stamp and I did that in Crumb Cake ink first and over the top of the Crumb Cake I stamped Cherry Cobbler a in the speckle flower stamp.

The sentiment is stamped in Crumb Cake. I then adhered that to the crumb cake layer and wrapped around some crumb cake bakers twine and popped it on the front of the card with dimensionals. Of course I had to have bling and added some Petal Pink Elegant Faceted Gems. Quick and Easy two step stamping made easy with the Stamparatus and beautiful DSP!

If you need any help with this card or would like to purchase the products to make this card please do not hesitate to contact me.

Week 13 - Colour Creations Blog Hop - Crumb Cake

 

This week for our Colour Creations Blog Hop we are looking at one of our the neutral colours, Crumb Cake. It is such a favourite of many and I love how you can put this colour with absolutely everything or leave it as the focal point.

Today I have created a card with texture and layers and paired Crumb Cake with my favourite colour just because I could Blackberry Bliss. I got out the Blackberry Beauty Suite from the July-December Mini and added a few little touches from that suite to my Crumb Cake card.

For this card I have also used Early Espresso to make all the Crumb Cake elements pop. This card is full of scrumptious layers of Crumb Cake. The card Base and then the first layer is a piece of Tidings of Christmas DSP. The centre piece is a piece of crumb cake which has been embossed with the leaf pattern from the Greenery Embossing folder pack.

Also on that layer you can see some spatter of crumb cake ink from my Stampin' Write Marker. You can also see the bling here and in the opposite bottom corner they are the gorgeous, love them, you need them, go put them in your shopping cart now, Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots that come in brass, gold and copper. These are the gold one!

Over the top of this I have used the stunning Blackberry Beauty DSP and the frame is from the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera pack which I have popped up on mini dimensionals. The gold flowers and foliage is also from the ephemera pack.  I decided not to use the Gold Shimmer ribbon that goes with the suite but to use the Gold Fine Art ribbon as it has more of the Crumb Cake look and gold speckles through it. 

The words and I have stamped from the Beauty of Tomorrow Stamp set in Crumb Cake on Basic White card and fussy cut them out and double layered them onto mini dimensionals and the bird is die cut out using the Beautiful Leaves Dies that comes in a bundle with the stamp set or all together when you buy the suite.

Hope you have enjoyed my layer upon layer of texture and dimension of Crumb Cake and a bit of Blackberry bliss thrown in there as well.

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

Week 12 - AWH Colour Creations Showcase - "Crumb Cake"

 

Well this weeks colour in the spotlight is a favourite of many in the team at Art with Heart so I am looking forward to all the fun creations and inspiration from the team this week.

This week Crumb Cake.

I was inspired this week by a card I stumbled upon and then my computer crashed and I couldn't find it again so I have given it ago by memory. It wasn't a Stampin' Up card but it reminded my of our travels in Japan last year and I thought I would try and make something a little similar.

The Cherry Blossoms in Japan were just gorgeous!

So tonight I am paying a little honour to our trip.

For tonight's card I have made good use of my paper trimmer.

To get started I cut a circle and then the inner circle with the stitched shaped dies to give that little window effect in the door. I then used the sponge dauber on a piece of very vanilla card stock to give the vibrant pink coming through the window.

The overlay of the card is made by cutting a piece of Crumb Cake the same size as the card base and then using a stitched rectangle die the 2nd largest and cutting out the centre of the card. Then the fun began.

I cut little strips of crumb cake card stock and using my Stampin' Up! grid paper I adhered them together onto the cut out rectangle (On the back) with the fine tip glue pen every 1/8 inch mark apart. I did the long up rights first then the horizontal bars.

While that was drying you may notice behind the lattice I also have a little bit more Magenta Madness ink. I have sponged this onto the card base front where the lattice was going to appear before adhering the lattice front onto the card base.

After the lattice is dry adhere the Vellum card which is cut to the same size as the card base and adhere it to your card front.

Now it is a matter of cutting out and adhering the gorgeous vibrant cherry blossoms onto the window and lattice. I Have chosen the 2 smaller flowers from the Cherry Blossom dies and used Magenta Madness card stock and Mossy Meadow for the flowers. The Branches are Early Espresso and Every flower needs a bit of bling with some pearls.

I really love the sentiments in the Lovely You Stamp set and I think it is perfect for any card right now!

Now please grab a cuppa and head over to my friend the lovely and talented Cathy Proctor's blog as she hosts our weekly Colour Creations Showcase. She loves Crumb Cake so I am excited to see her projects this week. She will have the list of those team members who are lending their incredible talent to the colour of Crumb Cake this week: Cathy's Blog
