Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 24 - Fresh Freesia




Fresh Freesia was introduced as an In Color in 2021 and was due to retire at the end of the last Annual catalogue earlier this year, but surprise, surprise - it entered our subtle range as a core colour!





I had two cards to make for two significant birthdays coming up soon. One is a 30th on 15th October, the other for a 95th on 17th October.

Card 1: Fancy Fold for 95th Birthday


The 95th is for the mother of one of my team members, Leanne. Her mother, Rhonda has been staying with her daughter for a few months and enjoys coming to card classes with Leanne. We all enjoy her delightful company and sense of humour!


I'm not sure what the name of this fancy fold is but I'm fairly sure it was fellow Art With Heart team member Kate Morgan who shared it at some stage. I used DSP from Masterfully Made (AC) & Delightful Floral (online exclusive) because they matched so nicely. The large flowers were cut from the Delightful Floral paper, as I was waiting on the Translucent Florals bundle to be delivered.


Rhonda does not let age hold her back, she loves to make cards, crochet and get out and about keeping Leanne on the go. They are about to go on a cruise to New Zealand which I'm sure they will really enjoy.

 Card 2: Fancy Fold CASEd from Emma Goddard Coastal Crafter


Masterfully Made DSP was the source of all the fancy papers for this 30th birthday card for my son's girlfriend. Lasting Joy provided the sentiment and flowers. The stems are stamped separately from the flowers so it was easy to use two different colours.


Alphabest had some small numerals suitable for this small square, with more flowers stamped at the base of the panel for writing a personal message.



 Next team member this week is the wonderful Theresa Gerrard

Hey Birthday Balloons

Have you added 'Hey Birthday Chick" to your craft shelf? I guess its one of those sets you either love or hate, but the chicks are pretty cute, and I do have a grandson who writes adventure stories about Master Chicken! LOL! I think this just might be his next birthday card.


It originally came out in the January to June Mini catalogue, and a little later we were surprised by dies being introduced, along with Hey Chick, which was a 2017 SALE-A-Bration stamp set, and that has a set of dies too. I'll add them at the end so you can take a look at them in my shop, and decide if they're for you. They will only be available until the end of the mini - June 30th.


No dies were used on this card though, just a little fussy-cutting of balloons. The chicken was masked to keep her white while the background was blended, and I decided to grunge the card a little by placing the textured card on an angle, roughing one edge and curling a corner. 

This design has been inspired from a tutorial from Susan Wong in New Zealand on the @craftycarrotco group with a few small alterations. I've purchased a subscription to increase my use of the stamp sets I have invested in.

It's always nice to decorate the inside of the card too.
