Colour Creations Week 25 - Fresh Freesia Racing By

Hello stampers, here we are with week 25 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the beautiful Stampin' Up! colours in alphabetical order. This week we have reached the halfway point with Fresh Freesia, which a beautiful mauve colour in the Subtles Colour Family.

I am running short of masculine cards in my stash so I wanted to see if I could use Fresh Freesia for a masculine card.

I have used the Racing By stamp set and combined Fresh Freesia with Coastal Cabana and Azure Afternoon.

I stamped the car outline three times and then filled them in with either Fresh Freesia, Coastal Cabana and Azure Afternoon.

The greeting is stamped in Fresh Freesia and is attached with Dimensionals. The checkered flags are stamped in Memento Black ink and then fussy cut.

All of these products are available through my Online Store.

Now it's time for the next stop on our blog hop which belongs to the very talented Sharon Davern.

If you encounter any issues with the links in our hop, please head to Cathy's blog as she is the amazing host of our Colour Creations Blog Hops and has a complete list of tonight's participants.

Next week we will be back with projects featuring Garden Green.

Thanks for visiting,

Rachel

Heart of Christmas week 11 Surfing Santa Fancy Fold

Hello stamping friends. Welcome to week 11 of the Heart of Christmas blog hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week until the end of November we will be here to share some Christmas inspiration with you.

For this week’s card I have returned to the Surfing Santa stamp set. This is a stamp only set from the catalogue which means there are no coordinating dies.

I stamped the main image on Basic White card stock and then coloured with Blends Markers. With a mask over the Santa image, I stamped the first wave in Coastal Cabana. I cut out the image with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. The circle was mounted on a very simple fancy fold card.

I cut an A4 sheet in half lengthwise for the card base. I scored down the middle on the short side and the folded it in half. I trimmed 5cm off the front edge. The square on the front is 7.4cm and has been attached on the edge of the front as a diamond. The Garden Green mat is 7cm square.

I used one sheet from the Take a Bow DSP and another from the Reindeer Days DSP as background papers. The Santa image was attached to the Garden Green mat with Dimensionals. I stamped and cut a second wave image to attach in from of Santa.

The greeting is stamped in Real Red and cut with another Stylish Shapes Die.

All of the products are available through my Online Store.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 24 - Flirty Flamingo Christmas Trees

Week 24 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop features Flirty Flamingo, a lovely rose pink that is in our Brights Colour Family.

I have used Flirty Flamingo for a Christmas card this week. I combined Flirty Flamingo with Pretty Peacock and a load of Basic White.

I used the Decorative Christmas Bundle for the Christmas Trees.

The patterned papers are from the Hello Irresistible DSP which is one of our Online Exclusives products. To see the full range of Online Exclusives head to my Online Store and find the Online Exclusives button under the Shop Products heading, or click on the link.

For a bit of sparkle I found some Pretty Peacock Glimmer Paper from the Three Colour Glimmer Paper pack, which is another of our Online Exclusives.

The background card stock has been embossed with the Painted Trees 3D embossing folder. I have used a thin Flirty Flamingo mat behind the embossed piece to break up the white expanse. The greeting has been white embossed on Vellum card stock.

The next stop in our blog hop belongs to my lovely stamping friend Sharon Davern, click on the image below or her name to see what amazing project she has created to share with us.

Rachel
