Colour Creations Blog Hop - Old Olive

The participants in Colour Creations are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart. This is week 32 of Colour Creations Blog Hop, and as we use the colours alphabetically, we are up to Old Olive. This colour is an oldie, but a goodie, and I've teamed it with Shaded Spruce, Bumblebee and Gold.

I ordered the Rainbow Of Happiness Bundle to make all sorts of cards, but first up, this one. Please tell me, is this masculine enough for my 14 year old grandson?

Tip of the Day: Adhesive sheets on the back of the card stock work like magic to make adhering rainbow strips a painless crafting experience. They are wide enough to use Tombow multi purpose liquid glue, but I found it a tad messy, and adhesive sheets are heaps better on the back of numerals too.

Biggest Wish comes in so handy for big, bold greetings, as do the Playful Alphabet dies. This is such an easy fold to make a special card, a Twisted Easel Card - it is basically a standard card, with a fold diagonally, and a rectangular card front adhered.

Colour Creations - Daffodil Delight

While I was creating another card with Penguin Place, it occurred to me that there was a way to update the rubber band technique. An oldie but a goodie where you put rubber bands around your block and stamp away to create a random background. The curvy stamp, representing a hill, was perfect, stamped in various shades. I tried it first on the Stamparatus, but found hand-held on a long block was a better result.

Repeat stamping with one of the sentiments from Penguin Place was achieved by using the Stamparatus. Firstly I stepped one lot using Coastal Cabana, and after repositioning the card. it was possible to stamp between using Balmy Blue. The 'be merry' part of this sentiment was left off, causing the message read 'Be Cool, Be Chill'.

An additional greeting was stamped with Biggest Wish onto a circle surrounded by a Daffodil Delight scalloped circle.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the lovely Rosa Leyden is sharing with us this week, come on, let's check it out!

Colour Creations - Crumb Cake

Our feature colour this week is Crumb Cake, in the neutrals and a very useful shade. I'm sure there will be lots of inspiration shared on this blog hop, so make sure you spend the time checking them out. We are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart.

For quite some time I had been intending to try this technique where die cuts are adhered to a same-colour piece of card to make a textured background. Dandy Wishes dies have these spiky flower heads in three sizes, so that provides additional interest.

The light woodgrain paper from In Good Taste continues the neutral theme. This die from Scalloped Contours dies is one of my favourites because you can tuck things into the slits.

The sentiment from Biggest Wish was stamped in Bumblebee and Mossy Meadow, just a touch of colour on the card this week. The simple dandelion from Garden Wishes has been coloured with Stampin' Blends.

Next on the blog hop is the talented and sweet Tina in South Australia. I love her work so let's go check it out...
