Colour Creations - Week#50 - Soft Suede

This is the very last week of the current round of Colour Creations Blog Hop. Our colour is Soft Suede, another shade which is retiring at the end of the current catalogue. I have rather liked this softer shade of brown, but with all the earthy tones in the new In Colors I'm sure we will get by just fine.

Most people agonise over creating the perfect masculine card, but I think the answer often can be found in patterned paper. This is the Ready To Ride 12" x 12" specialty designer series paper, found on page 69 of the mini catalogue.

The background colour of this piece is Soft Suede also the colour we are using for Colour Creations Blog Hop this week.

One of the sheets of paper included in Ready to Ride is motorbikes, a whole lot of different motorbikes. If you were knowledgeable about the recipients favoured model, you might even be able to match it. I have absolutely no idea about bikes (or cars for that matter!)

A little bit of cut & paste from two different stamp sets provided the perfect sentiment. Charming Sentiments has some very useful sentiments for many occasions, while Party Puffins had a bold 'birthday' to match the other words.

Next talented team member to share is the wonderful Kathryn Ruddick.

Colour Creations - Week #45 - Shaded Spruce

The participants in AWH Colour Creations Blog Hop are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart. We love to Blog Hop sharing all the Stampin' Up! Colours alphabetically. This is week #45 and Shaded Spruce is our colour.

When I hear "shaded spruce' I immediately think of trees - well you would too I expect. For that reason, I was determined not to use a tree for this week's challenge. Teen boys have been on my radar lately and Conversation Bubbles seems a good one for them. My only complaint is that there is no birthday greeting in that set, so I grabbed one from Irresistible Blooms which fitted the big bubble.

Rays of Light is the big background stamp which I placed on the Stamparatus for easy multiple stamping.

My class ladies are wanting masculine cards, they must have families like mine with men and boys outnumbering the ladies. They all enjoyed making this card at our March Craft & Chat and although there was a feminine version, this was the one they all chose.

On the inside is an offcut from the Rays Of Light panel, the outline of a Conversation Bubble and stamping from Party Puffin.

It's hard to believe that we have nearly reached the end of our colours, with only a few weeks to go until the new Annual catalogue is in our eager hands! I hope you check in next week to see what the team have made with Smoky Slate.

Now it's time to hop over to South Australia and my talented friend Andrea Sargent. Please comment if you liked my project, it's always nice to hear what you think.

Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent & Fresh Freesia are about to retire as In Colors.

I wonder what will replace them?

Awesome Birthday Owls

Since one owl wears a party hat, that means I need to make a birthday card. The hats were colour-matched to the owl eyes - aren't they so cute? Easy to colour too.

Another Awesome Owl card, mixed in with current, retired & future product. A mix of colouring with Stampin' Blends and Stampin' Markers.

Happy Hedgehog

While I am away in Sydney, I thought I would share this card made with a mix of products including Happy Hedgehogs and Party Puffins.

A left-over tree slice also made its way onto the card since it suited the nature theme happening here.

The bold, clear sentiments from Party Puffins are a winner in my opinion, especially when the card is intended for a younger person.

CTC#374 CASE Favourite Retiring Mini Bundle

The CASE-ing The Catty Crew are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Australia & New Zealand who take inspiration weekly from the catalogues. The catalogues are a fantastic resource and we love to inspire you to seek inspiration there too. Thank you for visiting the blog of Rachel Palmieri in Melbourne, Australia.

I haven't made a mistake with the challenge - I know Nuts & Bolts isn't a bundle! I'm actually CASE-ing the Gumball project I'm pointing to, but the robots didn't fit on the stamped punch shape, so I masked them instead, so you still have three images on stamp-shaped pieces, just like the Gumball sketch.

Party Puffins is a handy stamp set for sentiments that have a similar font to Nuts & Bolts. Thought a straight 'Happy birthday' was easier for a younger child to understand, rather than HB2U.

I've had a great week making lots of masked projects. Have you tried masking yet?

Party Puffins includes one saying 'from all of us'.

We love having you join in our challenges. Ask to join our Facebook group, and then add a picture of your CASE, and let us know which card or project you've CASE-d. No blog required, no special qualifications.

I'm sure Michelle Strazds will have a beautiful project this week.

CTC#322 CASE-ing Birthdays

The CASE-ing The Catty Crew are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Australia & New Zealand who take inspiration weekly from the catalogues. The catalogues are a fantastic resource and we love to inspire you to seek inspiration there too. This week we are CASE-ing a 'Birthdays' from pages 60- 67.

I turned straight to page 67, and used Party Puffins on 2 cards CASE-d from this page. The Basic Borders dies have a lovely border, rather similar to clouds, which I used with the sweet floral in the Pansy Petals DSP.
