Colour Creations Showcase - Purple Posy



This week team members are creating for Colour Creations Showcase with Purple Posy. Poor old Purple Posy had some issues with the ink colour not holding true, so that part of the range was deleted, but happily we have enjoyed card, Stampin' Write Markers, stampin' Blends and Designer Series paper featuring this sweet, soft shade of mauve for almost 2 years. It is an In Color, and will retire on May 3rd, so if you love it - it's time to check whether you have enough in your stash!



A few weeks ago I made a card for my grandson turning 13, and I decided to use the negative from the number to create a feminine version using mainly Purple Posy and Misty Moonlight. I took the colour cues from the piece of Playing With Patterns DSP, so Coastal Cabana made a cameo appearance too. These are colours I probably wouldn't have thought to put together normally, but they look good.



For another feminine touch, a few Pretty Perennials die cuts, along with the larger flower from Sweet Strawberry, dressed it up.
Now that I know you can punch it with the Small Bloom Punch, it makes it so much quicker to use! (It tells you in small print under the stamp information, what it co-ordinates with).


You Are Amazing is on page 7 of the January to June Mini Catalogue, which means you'll be able to purchase this up until June 30, if stocks last. It can be paired with a kit, which is a great way to venture into card-making if you aren't feeling confident about cutting correctly, or don't own a paper trimmer yet. You'll need to have your own acrylic blocks to mount the stamps on, and an ink pad. If you want to keep your purchases to a limit, I suggest a D Block, and a Pretty Peacock ink pad to complete the kit. Other colours Stampin' Up! sugest are Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, and Melon Mango.



Pop back over to Cathy Proctor to check out some more Purple Posy Creations.

Week #14 AWH Colour Creations Showcase - Daffodil Delight



When you've finished looking at my Daffodil Delight cards, pop back to Catherine Proctor for more sunny goodness at another team members blog address.



Daffodil Delight came up at just the right time! I had just received my Box of Sunshine, which I'm loving to bits, and it triggered some thoughts of alternative cards I could make for my grandies, to keep in touch.



It's such a pleasure to get a card or picture in the mail from them, so I hope they love my efforts in return. Zany Zebras are  flamboyant little fellas that I'm sure they will brighten anyone's day.



The Playing With Patterns DSP adds lots of colour to the inside of the card.



All these sentiments, the lines and sun come from the Box of Sunshine, such a good selection. I used the smallest circle die to cut the centre from the sun to let the zebras peep through! Box of Sunshine can still be ordered using #155231


The peep-through card is my favourite, but it's hard to photograph!
I stamped the suns randomly, cut with the die, then placed the white card under and lightly penciled the circles so the heads would be in  position.
