Colour Creations Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel

Posted in Cards by Chris

This week’s Colour Creations Blog Hop is featuring Blueberry Bushel, and I have two contrasting projects to share with you today.
My first card is a simple fun fold card, where I have paired the Blueberry Bushel with some Parakeet Party. As a former professional musician, the stamp set Enjoy The Rhythm was one I had to have, but it has been sadly neglected recently, so I thought I should use it for this challenge. The drum kit has been coloured with Stampin’ Blends, and I have used some Glorious Gingham and Bright and Beautiful Designer Series Papers.

My second card is more in a vintage style, and features the gorgeous Everlasting Beauty stamp set, which I have watercoloured using a Water Painter and ink.

I have stamped the background layer, tone on tone with Crumb Cake ink, before distressing the edges. The focal image is stamped on Fluid 100 watercolour paper in Stazon ink, and watercoloured with Blueberry Bushel and Mossy Meadow inks, with a wash of Crumb cake ink around the outside of the image.

Next along on our blog hop is the talented Tina Gillespie. Hop along to see what Tina is sharing to inspire you with today.

Thanks for stopping by.
Happy stamping, and happy hopping,
Chris

Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs Online Class

Posted in Cards, Online Class by Chris

Here are the three cute cards I made during this morning’s Facebook Live Online Class on my business page. I kept the cards fairly simple and the video isn’t too long. I get frustrated with watching long vids, so I’ll be keeping mine as short as possible.
If you missed it, the live video is here.

The precut and organised card kits are available free to anyone who places an order of $45 or more (shipping extra) on this link before midnight on Sunday 16th July 2023 (Australian orders only). Stampin’ Up! policy does not allow me to add any stamped images, but as you can see, these would work with almost any stamp set you have in your stash. And since everything is cut and ready to go, all you have to do is stamp and put your cards together.

Along with the items listed below, I have used Pecan Pie and Night of Navy ink, however I think you could use almost any colour to stamp your images.
I hope you enjoy the creativity of making cards without having to do all the cutting and measuring.

Please contact me if there is anything you would like more information about, and please make sure you using the Host Code YGQHMWSB when you place your order. Also don’t forget the Earn and Redeem promotion, with details below.
Happy stamping,
Chris

Colour Creations Stampin’Up! Bubble Bath

Posted in blog hop, Cards, Colour Creations by Chris

This week in our Colour Creations Blog Hop we are featuring the beautiful pale pink, Bubble Bath.

I have used some of the Bright and Beautiful Designer Series Paper for my background, a gorgeous ombre look, adhered to a thick Basic White cardbase. The reverse side of this sheet of DSP has bubbles in pink and if you look closely at the top where the very pale pink and white areas are, you can just see the bubbles from the reverse side – not intentional on my part, but I like the added dimension.

Over the Designer Series Paper, I have used various elements from the Gorgeously Made Dies, ( which I may be a little obsessed with at present), in Smoky Slate and Night of Navy, as well as Bubble Bath. The sentiment is from the Wildlife Wonder stamp set, stamped in Night of Navy ink.

Next along on our blog hop is Ros Davidson.

Happy stamping, and happy hopping,
Chris
