Colour Creations Blog Hop - 2024-2025 - Week 32 - Lemon Lolly - Cutest Onsie

 

Hello lovely craft friends and welcome to Lemon Lolly Week of our Colour Creations blog hop for 2024-25!

This week I am bringing you another Cutest Onsie card. I was asked by my dear friend to do a baby shower card for her niece. They didn't know the gender of the baby so this is the card I came up with. She was happy as she only wanted a simple card.

For the card base I have used Smokey Slate and layered it with Basic White and then a layer of Lemon Lolly! To add to this I have 4 sections - 2 in Smokey Slate that has been dry embossed with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and 2 with a piece of the Mediterranean Blooms DSP that is covered in Lemon Lolly flowers.

For the focal point of the card I have die cut a circle with the Everyday Detail dies in Basic White and then stamped the Cutest Onesie in Basic Gray, colouring with the Dark Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blend.  I also cut out the hanger in Lemon Lolly card. The Iridescent  Pearls Basic Jewels have also been coloured with the Dark Lemon Lolly Stampin' Blend. The congratulation is stamped in Smokey slate and die cut with the Everyday Detail Dies.

A Sweet simple layout that can be changed up with any colour or even changing the focal point. I do hope you give it a try.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

The Heart of Christmas - Week 4 - 2024 - Pop Up Book Fold

 

Welcome to week 4 of the Heart of Christmas for 2024. I am sure you are enjoying following us each week on a Monday and we will be here until the end of November.

This week I have for you a fold that I have seen a few times but I have never tried myself and thought I might give it a go. It is a Pop Up Book Fold. It has been around for a long time and I have thought I could use it again with this gorgeous stamp set Shepherd's Care.

I have gone very simple on the front of the card and  again this week used the gorgeous Seasons of Elegance Specialty DSP with the gold foil throughout the paper. I have used Pretty Peacock as the card base and Basic Beige as the layer. On the front I have gold embossed the sentiment on the Basic Beige and cut it out using the Everyday Detail dies and backed it with a layer of Cherry Cobbler card stock and then the new gorgeous Cherry Cobbler and Gold Satin Ribbon underneath is divine!

This is how the book pop up fold looks before you decorate. The couple of version I found were for a larger version and wouldn't fit in our C6 envelopes so I worked it out to fit inside our normal card size and envelope. So you have seen the front and the card base of Pretty Peacock then this layer which is the fancy Book Pop Up Fold I did in Basic Beige.

I have used the gorgeous Season of Elegance Specialty DSP to line all the surfaces of the fold, the outer one in the Basic Beige and the inner and the book surface in the Pretty Peacock. Plus just for a pop of colour I added a strip of the Cherry Cobbler piece as well.

I have stamped the Shepherd from Shepherd's Card in Basic Gray on Basic White and then coloured using the Stampin' Blends. Light & Dark Crumb Cake, Light & Dark Pretty Peacock, Light Lost Lagoon and Ivory.

The star and the sentiment on the right hand side of the book has also been embossed in gold but on Basic Beige this time and the star has been fussy cut out. To write your message on the card I have added a spot on the back of the card.

This angle of the card give you a great view of the fold.

If you have any questions about my project today or would like to get your hands on the new Sept-Dec Mini that goes live next week please do not hesitate to contact me.
