Petal Pink and Friendly Hello – AWH Colour Creations

Petal Pink and Friendly Hello – AWH Colour Creations

Welcome to week 35 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Petal Pink from the Subtles family.

My cards tonight use the stunning Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper and the Friendly Hello Stamp Set from the The Friendly Hello Bundle, which is one of the free SALE-a-bration products.

The Friendly Hello DSP is so versatile. Some images from the stamp set are designed to be stamped directly onto the paper, some of the papers are printed to look like they have already been stamped on and all the designs can just be used as they are.

To showcase this beautiful DSP I’ve made a couple of “joy fold” fancy fold cards. This simple fancy fold is a “smaller card within a card”, with the front flaps overlapping and it is a great fancy fold for using beautiful DSP.

This 30 second video shows you how this fancy fold works.

Card one is on a Basic Black card base with the top card opening to the left and the base card opening to the right. Instead of using DSP on the front of the top card, I stamped the bird from the Friendly Hello stamp set and the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set, another free SALE-a-bration stamp set.

I quickly coloured the bird and the flowers using light and dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends.

Here is how my joy cards look as you open up the front flap…

…And the middle flap. This inside sentiment is also from the Special Moments stamp set.

And from above!

My second card is on a Basic White card base with the top card opening to the right, the base card opening to the left and DSP on the front flap.

To create the “Hello” sentiment I used a Post It note to mask off the word “friend” from one of the Friendly Hello stamps, inked up the stamp and them removed the post it note BEFORE stamping the sentiment onto Basic White card stock.

Both cards are embellished with the Petal Pink Elegant Faceted Gems.

Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Christine Blain – I can’t wait to see what Christine has made this week!

Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow – Week 30 AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop

Stampin’ Up! Mossy Meadow – Week 30 AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop

Welcome to week 30 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Mossy Meadow, a very dark green from the Neutrals family.

Yesterday the new  2022 January to June Mini Catalogue and the Sale-a-bration catalogue launched and so I decided to share with you two cards made using a gorgeous bundle in the SALE-a-bration catalogue – the Friendly Hello bundle. This bundle is FREE with any Stampin’ Up purchase of $180 or more.

Some images from the stamp set are designed to be stamped directly onto the paper for a unique look you’ll love. I would normally do this in Basic Black but as we are showcasing Mossy Meadow tonight I decided to try it instead and I’m thrilled at how it looks against the Granny Apple Green. You can see in this photo below how the paper looks both before and after it is stamped.

My first card uses the floral Granny Apple Green DSP, stamped in Mossy Meadow with the large double flower stamp and the open leaf stamp.

Behind the layered sentiment I’ve added a strip of the the new White 3/4″ Frayed Ribbon from the January-June Mini Catalogue – this ribbon has a soft, slightly fuzzy feel and it is a great way to add instant texture.

I also stamped the large double flower in Mossy Meadow onto a scrap of Whisper White, colouring it with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends and fussy cutting it into two – one for the front of the card and one for the inside.

My second card uses the “leaf frond branch” stamp and DSP and the “bird on a branch” stamp.

The same Scalloped Contours Dies were used for the sentiment, just positioned in a different way.

The bird and flower stamp was stamped in Mossy Meadow and coloured in with Mossy Meadow and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends before fussy cutting.
There are just so many possibilities with this stamp set and DSP bundle for both crafters who love to colour as well as those who avoid colouring as this DSP does all the hard work for you. You don’t have to be precise with your stamping as it is designed for an offset effect or you can use it as it is, unstamped.

Do you have a favourite card? As I’m always a sucker for a bird on a card, there’s not prizes for guessing which one is my favourite!

Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Kate Morgan – I can’t wait to see what Kate has made this week!
