Hello Beautiful Biggest Wish Birthday Card. Crafty Collaborations Colour Challenge Blog Hop. January 2022

 Good Afternoon Everyone

I'm taking part in another Crafty Collaborations blog hop today and this one is the monthly Crafty Challenge and we have a Colour Challenge. As you know, I love a good Colour Challenge and I had real fun with this one.

I looked at my stash, but nothing really jumped out at me. I was flicking through my DSP and when I came to the Abstract Beauty DSP. I love that design, so I decided to create something similar with a twist using the Hello Beautiful stamp set and this combination. Now, I'll be honest when I started stamping, It took me a while get it to a point where it didn't look like a huge mess, but eventually it all came together and I'm actually really happy with how it turned out.

Measurements

Highland Heather Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

Basic White Card Stock

2pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Scraps

Coastal Cabana Card Stock

Flirty Flamingo Card Stock

----------------------

Take your Highland Heather Card Stock and fold along the score line to create your card base. Add one of the Basic White pieces to the inside.

On the remaining piece, create your masterpiece! I took several on the solid images and covered the white space using the three colours, then I went back in with the smaller elements filling in some gaps and overlapping some of the stamping with the addition of black ink. There was no rhyme or reasoning really for where I added things, I literally just kept going until I was in a place where I thought it looked good.

Once you are happy, then add the panel to the card front.

On scraps of Basic white stamp the Happy in Flirty Flamingo ink and layer onto a scrap of Coastal Cabana card stock. Stamp the Birthday in Coastal Cabana ink, layered onto Flirty Flamingo card stock. Lightly colour the edges of the card stock with the same colour.

Add to the card front with Dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed my card today, I really enjoyed creating it. Please take a look at the list below and continue through the hop. There is going to be so much inspiration for these three colours

Henna Hearts Monochrome 3x3 Note Cards. Simple and Stepped Up. Creative Colour Challenges #CCC22

  Good Morning Everyone

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. 

It's Monday, so that means there's a brand new Colour Combo over on Creative Colour Challenges. This weeks colours are all Brown tones, so a perfect combo to create a Monotone maybe even vintage inspired projects. There's so many possibilities with this one!

I decided on creating some more 3x3" note cards. I Love this amazingly detailed image from the Henna Hearts stamp set, and here I've shown it two ways, simply stamped, and then stepped uo by colouring the inage with my blends. Both cards are very easy to create.

 

Measurements

Soft Suede Card Stock 

2pc - 3" x 6", scored at 3"

Very Vanilla Card Stock 

2pc - 2 7/8" x 2 7/8"

Scraps

-------------------------------------------

Take the Soft Suede and fold along the score line to create your card base. Add the Very Vanilla pidce to the inside.

Ink up the detailed image in Early Espresso ink and stamp into very Vanilla card stock. Add the Hello stamp from Inspired Thoughts to the centre of the heart. Do this twice.

Take one of the hearts and trim the card to the width of the image and 3" high. Then simply glue onto the card front.

For the slightly stepped up version, take the second piece and colour in the details with Soft Suede and Crumb Cake Stampin Blends. Trim this piece close to the image, then layer to a piece of Early Espresso Cardstock which is a fraction bigger, just to give a slight border, then add to another card front.

I hope you have enjoyed these cards today, head on over to my Creative Colour Challenges Blog for more information on the challenge, and maybe even enter a project your self.

Hello My Friend Ladybug Chocolate Gift Box.

 Good Afternoon Everyone

Today I've Been Insta-Hopping with the Pootles Team. I made this fabulous gift box using the Hello Ladybug Bundle, and well, I thought you would all like to know how it's made.

These cute ladybug chocolates are really cheap and I stumbled across them in Home Bargains here in the UK.

This measures 3" x 2 3/4" x 3/4" and hold 6 chocolates pretty snuggly.

Measurements

Real Red Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/2" x 7 3/4"

Basic Black Card Stock

1pc - 2 7/8" x 2 5/8"

scraps

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 2 1/2" x 2 3/4"

scraps

--------------------------------

Take your Real Red Card Stock and score as follows:

Long Side - 3/4", 3 1/2", 4 1/4" & 7

Short Side - 3/4" & 3 3/4"

Fold and burnish your score lines well.

Then, Holding the card stock horizontally, cut up the score lines along the bottom and notch into the squares slightly. Repeat this at the top, and you should be left with a piece looking like this

Take the Basic White card stock and stamp the sentiments into the top right hand corner using memento ink. Once dry, Layer on the basic black mat layer and add to the card stock. You can place this whichever side you wish, but when you adhere, this will become to the top of your box.

To get the thumb notch, mark the centre of the middle panel very lightly. Then tilt your ladybug builder punch so that you are using the side of the body to create a shallow arc.

Now add Seal+ to all the tabs and following the image above fold in the tabs to create a base and a lid. Start with the base - Fold in all the 'B' tabs around to plain card rectangle, then Fold in the two 'A' tabs to firm the lid. Add your Chocolates and then close.

On scrap of basic white stamp the wings in Real Red ink and add the dots with memento. Cut out using the Ladybug builder punch, and also cut out a basic black body. Adhere these together and then add to the lid.
