Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 1- 2022-23 - Orchid Oasis

Well can you believe it we are starting a new year in the Stampin' Up! world. So that means a new Annual Catalogue and 5 new InColors! That is always exciting and I always get excited to see what the new colours are. So we are starting off the new year with the 5 new InColors and first up is Orchid Oasis.

How gorgeous is this colour!

Now I wanted to stay away from the Tea Boutique suite collection as it had all the new InColors but I couldn't this week as tomorrow at my church craft group we are having a high tea for Mother's Day. One of the ladies who is helping me organise it wanted to have the quote from Eleanor Roosevelt for everyone so I said I would organise that along with a tea bag for everyone. I thought well this suite is perfect for just this occasion.

So what have I made? Well I have made a little envelope using the InColour 6x6 DSP  which I cut down to 5x5 but you don't have to but those strips left over will come in handy I am sure in another project!

All I did was fold the points into the centre and then glued the bottom 3 together with a small amount of glue and to hold the top flap of the envelope down I cut out the heart in Sweet Sorbet (another new InColor) and popped it up on a mini dimensional. Envelope done.

Now to satisfy the wish of the quote I printed them onto Basic White card and cut them out with the Teacup Dies and added them to the envelope along with the teabag.

So to decorate the front of my little envelope I have cut out the teacup with the Teacup dies in the Orchid Oasis both in the solid and then the leaf pattern and adhered them together I have also stamped the leaves on Basic White in a new Incolor Parakeet Party and the flowers in Sweet Sorbet. The little teabag tag is stamped in Orchid Oasis and attached with the new InColor bakers twine and the lemon wedge is stamped in Crushed Curry. All of these are cut out with the dies in the set from the Teacup dies. 

Just so much fun to put together now I just have to make 30 by tomorrow. Wish me luck! If I get a bunch done before the hop goes live I will add a photo!

Week 1 - Colour Creations Blog Hop - "The 5 -2021-2023 In Colors"

Welcome to the New Colour Creations Blog Hop for 2021-22. How exciting that we are continuing with the sharing of the gorgeous colours of Stampin' Up! each week with you.

We are going to be doing it as a blog hop where you click on the next button at the end of each post and it will take you to the next person on the list who is participating in the Colour Creation challenge that day but if the link is broken just come back and click on their name in the list provided and you will be able to get to their blog that way as well.

I am so excited to be continuing so let's get into Week 1!

For week 1 we are going to look at all 5 of the new In Colors!

Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Fresh Freesia! All gorgeous colours and I am going to have fun playing with these over the next 2 years.

So it is my it is my Dad's 80th Birthday today and I wanted to make him a card. At the moment he is not able to move around very well as he is on crutches for a leg injury so I thought the stamp set A Cut Above would be perfect for him. Take a load off, put your feet up and have a bit of a relax Dad! The challenge was how to incorporate all 5 In Colors into 1 card. 

Well bring on the Stampin' blends and some of the gorgeous Loose Flower Flourishes that are in 3 of the In Colors and there you have it. All 5 In Colors in 1 card!

So for this card I have used the Soft Succulent card base and cut an extra layer of Soft Succulent which I have stamped the cloud from the "A Cut Above" stamp set in Soft Succulent. I have also stamped the Happy Birthday onto Soft Succulent in Evening Evergreen and cut it out with the Stitched Rectangle dies.

Now for the main event our fun loving relaxed Dad/Grandad in my case!

Ok so as we were on the In Color challenge I went for it and the trees are also an In Color. The trunk is Cinnamon Cider in both light and dark blends. The leaves I have used both Soft Succulent and Evening evergreen as well as I have used them for the grass. Now you can see the Loose Flower Flourishes in Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink. I was away on the weekend (before our lock down) when I made this card and I permanently borrowed the flowers from a friend who had them as I had not purchased them yet but I am going to as they are just so gorgeous!

Now the shirt is Pale Papaya as well and his pillow is Soft Succulent and to round off all things In Color the sun is Bumblebee. He was fun to colour.

I don't know about you but I could do with a bit of sun and relaxing right now but I am sure my Dad will love his card and he does love a peachy looking shirt so I think he will like Pale Papaya.

Now as I had already met the challenge of putting all 5 new In Colors on one card I played around with them a bit more and made 3 other cards but Soft Succulent missed out this time.

I really loved this new Quiet Meadow Bundle when I saw it and I thought it was perfect for this simple card to show off these gorgeous new In Colours.

So for these set of cards I have them on a card base of Thick Basic White and then a mat layer of Regular Basic White which I have stamped the speckle stamp from the Quiet Meadow stamp set in Evening Evergreen in the background.

For each of the cards I have used the Meadow dies from the Quiet Meadows Bundle to cut out some of the flower and greenery sprigs in gold foil and vellum card stock.

To bring in the pop of colour each flower has been coloured with the Stampin' Blends in the new In Colors in Polished Pink, Pale Papaya and Fresh Freesia and the centre of the flower in Soft Suede light and dark. Under each flower which I fussy cut and popped up on dimensionals, the new In Color open weave ribbon has been adhered. The sentiment is also from the Quiet Meadow stamp set and I have stamped that in Evening Evergreen and used the Meadow dies to cut it out.
 

These were so much fun to make and I can see that I will be making lots of cards using the Quiet Meadow Bundle.

If you have any questions about my projects today, or would like to purchase the products to make them please do not hesitate to contact me. Also if you would like to have a copy of the new Annual Catalogue in your had just let me know.

Stampin' Up! - Art With Heart Team Blog Hop June 2019 - In Color Theme

Tonight, the Art with Heart team are sharing creative projects featuring “In Colors” theme. Check out the new 2019 - 2021 In colors and let’s not forget the current 2018 - 2020 In Colors. If you would like a copy of the 2019-2020 annual catalogue, contact any of the girls on the blog hop and we will get in touch with you.

You would have come to me from the lovely   Rebecca Jacavou  on your blog hop journey, let’s continue our fun.

I don’t know about you, but I just love it when a new annual catalogue comes out and we get to see what the new “In Colours” are! It is so exciting! I have chosen to feature the very new 2019-2021 in colours in the blog hop tonight. Plus one extra!

I have made a set of 5 cards of the same design using the new 2019-2021 In Colors to show you tonight,

I have used the Floral Essence Bundle for my cards tonight. Great to get a stamp set and punch in a bundle for 10% savings!

With each card I have made exactly the same design and used my blender pen to colour in the flower. I have punched out 3 of each flowers and put them together to make a gorgeous full flower and added the In Color Faceted Dots. Just perfect!

I have stamped the leaves from the Floral Essence stamp set in Old olive for each of the cards and punched them out using the leaf punch. This is a fabulous punch to have as it goes with a few stamp sets and plus who wants flowers without some leaves!

With the Pretty Peacock card I would like to bring your attention to the little bit of ribbon that is with the flower on each card. This is a double sided 1 cm reversible ribbon it is Old Olive on one side and Pretty Peacock on the other it has a beautiful sheen and is just gorgeous to look and and so soft. I have used the old olive side facing out.

Ok I know you have noticed that the Purple Posy flower is slightly different. Well that I because the stamp pad and ink has a bit of a quality issue at the moment so once that is all good we can order it again. But while we are waiting there are many Purple Posy products for us to chose from. Stampin’ Bends, ribbon, DSP, card stock, plenty to keep us busy. I have chosen to stamp the flower onto the gorgeous Woven Threads DSP which has all the lovely new In Colors represented in the pack of DSP.

Now there are 2 more In Colors that you need to see up close Seaside Spray and Terracotta Tile

As you can see with each of the cards I have used some of the In Color DSP to decorate the flap of the envelope. It is nice to your envelopes pretty too!

The Floral Essence stamp sent has a beautiful sentiment that comes with it and if you package all 5 of these cards together to give to a friend. You may have noticed that the Sentiment on the front is the word Friend and is cut out using the Stitched Nesting Labels Dies. That stamp comes from the lovely Daisy Lane stamp set.

Now can you guess what In Color from 2018-2020 I have used for my last card?  Of course you can, Blueberry Bushel. I chose this colour because of the gorgeous new Perennial Essence DSP which has Blueberry Bushel as one of its colours. I am in love with this DSP so you have to get some.

At the end of the pot will be a list of the products that were used to make these cards so you can make them yourself. If you would like the exact measurements please contact me.

Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the very talented, ChristinaBarnes.
