Amazing Year Birthday Wishes Card. Creative Colour Challenges - #CCC61

Good Morning Everyone

Happy Monday! I hope you have had a fabulous weekend and are ready for a brand new week!

As always, Monday's project is to showcase this new colour combo over on Creative Colour Challenges. This week we have Daffodil Delight, Orchid Oasis and Melon Mambo - which id a great bright and bold mix, which I loved working with.

I decided on using the Amazing Year stamp set and I cut my layers and did my stamping, but when I looked at the card I felt something was missing.

So i took my Starlit Punch and cut lots of basic white stars and adhered these to the left. The tone on tone card means that it isn't too overpowering, but adds a subtle texture and interest - just like an embossing folder would do - without needing lots of kit.

Measurements

Daffodil Delight Card Stock

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

Orchid Oasis Card Stock

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

Basic White Card Stock

scraps

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

Take the Daffodil Delight card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base.

Add the Orchid Oasis panel to the card front, and a piece of basic white to the inside.

Stamp the sentiment in Orchid Oasis into the bottom right hand corner of the remaining piece of Basic White.

Take so scrap Basic White and cut out lots of the stars from the Starlit Punch. Add these to the left hand side of the card going around the sentiment a little.

Add this panel to the card front.

On another scrap stamp the present in tuxedo black ink and colour with your stampin Blends. Fussy cut and add over the star detail with dimensionals.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - if you would like more information about the challenge or have a project to enter - head over to my blog - Creative Colour Challenge

Good Afternoon Everyone

Happy Sunday.

As it's the last Sunday of the month, it's time for the Crafty Collaborations Share it Sunday Hop. There's no theme set for this hop - just an opportunity for us to all get together and show off some of our creations.

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

Take the Base card stock and score as follows:-

Long Side - 1/2", 3", 4" & 6 1/2"

Short Side - 4 1/2"

Fold and burnish all the score lines well, the holding the card horizontal, with the single score line towards the bottom. cut up all the score lines and notch into the squares to create tabs. Remove the thin rectangle and notch in the long thin rectangle. Like this -

Now, add all the DSP panels to the card...

Add some adhesive onto the thin tab, fold round and adhere to the opposite side, fold in the bottom and glue down to create the base.

Take the remaining piece of Basic Black and score on all 4 sides at 1", cut into all the squares to create tabs. Fold and adhere these to create the lid. Place this on top of the open box.

Using the layering circles dies, cut out a smooth circle in basic white and the next size up scallop in basic black. Stamp the sentiment in tuxedo black memento ink and layer these together. Add this to the front of the box, centrally on the DSP you can see ( place it centrally with the lid on, otherwise it will look a bit wonky!)

Colour in a flower and butterfly with your Stampin Blends - fussy cut and arrange around the sentiment.

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