Welcome back to our 50th week of Colour Creations Showcase for 2020-21!
Today we are showcasing Soft Suede, and it is our final week in this present Colour Creations Showcase format. But don’t worry – we’ll still be sharing weekly colour inspiration with you, going forward!
From next week we will be reverting to a traditional blog hop format, starting with a showcase of ALL FIVE 2021-23 InColours on Wednesday 2nd June, followed by the rest of our beautiful Stampin’ Up! colours in individual alpha order at 8pm every Wednesday.
For my final card in our AWH Colour Creations Showcase I’ve used one of my favourite bundles from the new Annual Catalogue, the What’s Cookin’ bundle.
I bought this bundle with the intention to make a kitchen scene bench fold card, however I thought the scale of the elements would work better as a kitchen bench scene in a slimline card.
I’m so glad the In Good Taste DSP has carried over to the new catalogue because it is just perfect to create a tiled splash back and wooden kitchen bench.
How adorable is this chopping board in Soft Suede! The die embosses the board at the same time and I’ve tied some of the new Crumb Cake bakers twine through the handle. In fact I’ve kept the colour combination for this card entirely from the neutrals family.
After making and photographing my card I realised the Silver foil I used for the whisk, knife and slotted turner is not in the Annual Catalogue – if you don’t have a scrap of silver foil left over, use Basic Gray card stock for the knife blade and any colour for the whisk and the slotted turner as they could be made of coloured silicon.
I die cut the knife twice to create a wooden handle to which I then added three dots with my Basic Black marker for the screws. The utensil holder is die cut using a stitched rectangle die and 2 matte black dots are the “hooks” for the whisk and the slotted turner.
A single slit in the front curve of the the bowl (use a the sharp blade of a craft knife) allows the rolling pin, spoon and spatula to sit inside the bowl.
I’ve deliberately left the inside of the card blank so it can be used for any purpose or any gender.
I can’t wait to see what everyone else has created with Soft Suede today!

Catherine, this is a real ‘WOW’ card! I absolutely love it! All those choice details make it look so real. I struggle with ideas on how to use the In Good Taste DSP but it’s spot on with this design. Thank you for the inspiration.
You are such a clever cookie – pun intended!! This is a fantastic card, and so ‘you’. Thanks for all your hard work in keeping us organised each week x
A very clever card Cathy, and perfect for so many occasions.
Oh my, this is so gorgeous and yes, that tile background DSP is perfect!
So cool!
I keep looking at this card and not commenting, I just love it so much. I so want this card. Now I had this on my wish list but it is definitely on my next order! It would make a perfect card for my chef brother! Loved the embossed board too! Thank you for coordinating for all 50 weeks that is such a mammoth task! Wonderful job and much appreciated xx
Oh Cathy, what a brilliant card. I so love it. Your ‘bench’ slimline card is just right and showcases Soft Suede and the bundle superbly. Xxx
… and a huge THANK YOU, Cathy, for so capably and consistently co-ordinating our 50 weeks of Colour Creations shares! You have done a wonderful job. x
How clever! The In Good Taste papers certainly work a treat, to help create your adorable kitchen scene, Cathy. I love the embossed board, and the knife handle, especially. Great card.
Amazing card Cathy, the In Good Taste paper makes a perfect bench and splash back
