Framed Occasions 'Best Day' Handmade Card. Crafty Collaborations Challenge Blog Hop. September 2022

  Good Afternoon Everyone

Today I'm taking part int he Crafty Collaborations Crafty Challenge Blog Hop and this month we have a colour Challenge. I love this mix of colours, they work so well together.

I wanted a pretty flat card so it was easy to post, so I decided to do a little masking. I have run out of masking paper, so I used a die cut to create my hexagon mask. The floral elements from Framed Occasions work perfectly!

Measurements

Garden Green Card Stock

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

Basic Black Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

1pc - 3 3/4" x 5 1/2"

1pc - scrap

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

Take your Garden Green Card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding the larger piece of Basic White to the inside.

Run a scrap of basic white through your Cut & Emboss Machine with the largest Hexagon Dies from the Beautiful Shapes Dies. Or, you could just cut round the die and some masking paper!

Place this hexagon roughly in the centre of the remaining basic white card. You may find it useful to add a very small bit of adhesive behind this to 'tack' it in place whilst you stamp - you want to be able to remove this easily so go easy on the sticky stuff! haha

Using a selection of the images from Framed Occasions and all of the colours, stamp around the hexagon filing in all the space around it - stamp over it too so that you will get a nice clean line when the die cut is removed.

Once it has all been filled in - removed the hexagon and discard. 

Ink up the hexagon outline and stamp into the blank space you have, filling in the centre with the sentiment - using memento ink for both.

Take two lengths of the Fresh Freesia ribbon and run one across the top and one across the bottom, securing then on the back with a bit of tape.

Layer this to the Basic Black and then add it all to the card front.

Finally add some rhinestones to the centre of the flowers.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - please take a look at the list below and continue through the hop to get a lot more inspiration using this Combo.

Simply Fabulous Just Saying Hello Card. Creative Colour Challenges - #CCC56

  Good Morning Everyone

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We are all a little under the weather in our house so it's not been the most exciting of weekends - a lot of films and snuggles on the sofa!

So, as it's Monday - I get to share my card for this week's Creative Colour Challenges and it's such a pretty combo this week. I love this mix of Granny Apple Green, Pale Papaya and Gray Granite! 

I went for a very simple layout for my card - using scraps of card stock, I stamped images from Simply Fabulous to create some interest behind a very simple sentiment.

Measurements

Gray Granite Card Stock

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

1pc - scrap

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

1pc -scrap

Granny Apple Green Card Stock

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

Pale Papaya Card Stock

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

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

Take the Gray Granite Card Stock and fold along the score line, adding the basic white panel to the inside.

Using the leaf images from Simply Fabulous, stamp ink Granny Apple Green ink onto the same colour card. I used one leaf per strip. Also, stamp some of the flower images in Pale Papaya onto the Pale Papaya Strips.

Arrange these onto the card front, alternating the colours and layering then slightly 'wonky' to create some further interest.

On a scrap of Basic White Stamp the sentiment in Gray Granite ink and trim. Layer onto a scrap of Gray Granite ink and trim to leave a nice even border all the way round.

Add this to the centre of the card front with dimensionals

Stamp one of the flowers onto another scrap of Basic white in Pale Papaya ink and fussy cut. Add this to the lower left corner of the sentiment and pop a large rhinestone into the centre.

Told you it was super easy and this layout will work amazing in different colours and with lots of different stamped images.

Awash with Beauty Jumbo Tealight Duo Gift Box. Crafty Collaborations Share it Sunday. September 2022

  Good Morning Everyone

Happy Sunday! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.

Today I've made a gift box which holds two Jumbo tea lights. I've made it before a couple of times, but I had a request to create a couple for a friend (who received one of these at the BBQ I made table gifts for back in the Summer ! haha) to add some pamper hampers she was making, so I made some of these for her. But these would be great to gift for all sorts!

I've used the beautiful Awash with Beauty DSP which is so so pretty - I absolutely love the colours in this paper. I decided to using Blushing Bride for my base as these are to go into girly gifts! haha.

Measurements

Blushing Bride Card Stock

1pc - 8" x 7"

Awash in Beauty DSP

1pc - 2 1/4" x 4 3/4" 

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

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

1pc - Fussy cut flower cluster

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

Take the Blushing Bride Card stock and score as follows:-

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

Short Side - 1" & 6"

Fold and burnish all the score lines, then holding the card on the long side, create tabs from all the square sections. Cut up straight down the side of the rectangles and notch into the squares slightly so you will get a shape like this

Take the larger piece of DSP and add the large flower cluster to it. This will be much bigger than the DSP below, so just make sure you get as much on it as possible. Trim the overhanging pieces.

Now, add your DSP - for now it doesn't matter which side you choose as they are both the same, but choose a large panel and add the biggest piece of DSP to that, then add the thinner strips all around it like so...

Now, add seal+ to all the tabs and following the arrows above adhere to create your box. Fold in the 'B' tabs first to create the base, then the 'A' tabs create the lid.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today, please take a look at the list below and continue through the hop for lots more crafty inspiration.
