Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 50 - Tahitian Tide - Notes of Nature Birthday

 

Welcome to week 50 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop this week we are looking at the colour Tahitian Tide.  Next week we will be starting our New InColor range for 2024-26 I do hope you will come back and check out the exciting 5 new InColors!

But first Tahitian Tide.

I thought I should end the 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop with a little fancy fold card. It is called a Cascading Display card and I haven't done one since my Christmas blog hop a couple of years ago so it is about time to do one again!

Today I have chosen to use the Notes of Nature and the Lovely & Sweet stamp sets to create my card. 

To begin with I created the base of the card in Tahitian Tide card stock.

Once you have the structure of the card which you score a "z" at each of  the ends of you base card then add another little piece of card in the shape of a "z" to those, then adhere the layers. It all helps the card fold down to go into our envelopes.

So how did I decorate the card base.

I took a piece of the Nature's Sweetness Specialty DSP and with the Stampin' Blends I coloured in the images. I used Light and Dark Tahitian Tide, Light and Dark Crumb Cake, Light and Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Lost Lagoon and Light Pretty Peacock! I used the Lovely & Sweet Dies to cut out a couple of Tahitian card flowers. The sentiment is cut up and place a little on the left and the rest on the right!

On the middle section I have used a different piece of the Nature's Sweetness Specialty DSP. 

For the inside layer of the card where you can write your greeting I have added a circle of Nature's Sweetness Specialty DSP cut out with the Everyday Details Dies which is what I used to cut out the Birthday Sentiment which is from the Notes of Nature Stamp set. I have also stamped and coloured the leaves and flowers from the Notes of Nature stamp set and cut them out with the Dies from the bundle.

I do hope you have enjoyed our last look at Tahitian Tide.

Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 42 - Pretty Peacock

 

Welcome to Pretty Peacock week of the Colour Creations Blog Hop!

This week I have used the Notes of Nature Bundle to create my card. 

I just love all the texture you can create with layering the stamps over each other in the same colour and that is what I have done with one of my layers this week but first what is my colour combination this week!

This is the colour combination that I have used in my card this week:

 

After embossing a piece of Pretty Peacock card stock with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder which I simple love and adhering that to a Crumb Cake card base, I took another piece of crumb cake and with crumb cake ink I used the leaf, the dots and the ledger looking stamps and stamped over that card the using the Paper Whole die I suppose you could call it. I die cut the the edge and  then added a bit of crumb cake ink to the edge of the card. On a piece of Very Vanilla Card I stamped the Filed Notes stamp in Crumb cake and edged that with a little crumb cake in as well. Then I die cut the leaves in Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon and added a Lined thread bow. To finish the card I stamped the Birthday sentiment from the Notes of Nature stamp set in Pretty Peacock and cut it out with the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

If you have any questions about my card today or would like to grab this gorgeous bundle please do not hesitate to contact me.
