Be Inspired Blog Hop - In Colours

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Welcome to the BE INSPIRED BLOG HOP for July. This month the Be Inspired Design Team are sharing inspirational projects using the 2019-2021 In Colours: Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, Purple Posy, Rococo Rose and Terracotta Tile. 

I love new In Colours, although its sad saying goodbye to retiring favourites, I find I get over the loss of those retiring colours pretty fast with the introduction of the new colours with every Annual Catalogue. 

For today's Blog Hop I have created a collection of little Birthday note cards using the 2019-2021 In Colour card stock teamed with the Band Together Bundle. I kept the card designs fairly simple so they would be easy to replicate. 

Starting off with a Sahara Sand card base, a layer of whisper white has been added before adhering the splattered and embossed Sahara Sand card fronts.

White heat embossed vellum flowers fills each of the card fronts, along with the large Detailed die cut from the Detailed Bands Die Set. 

The sentiments have been stamped in coordinating In Colour inks onto Whisper White card and a few In Colour Faceted Dots have also been added.

This close up shows the card front of each note card has been splattered with Frost White Shimmer Paint then embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder.

I created little matching envelopes for each of the 4" x 4" cards and lined the flap with the coordinating 2019-2021 In Colour DSP. 

That is all from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by and hopping with us. The Be Inspired Design Team appreciate the time you have invested to visit our Blogs. Be sure to follow the hop all the way through for loads more inspiring creations. Up next in this month Blog Hop is super talented Cathy Caines - enjoy x

Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty

Banded Together

Hello Crafty Friends,

Hope you are having a great week. I am sneaking in a quick post today to share a few creations with the Banded Together Bundle. This was the first bundle to hit my wish list when I received the Annual Catalogue. I love dies that look like frames and the details in these die do not disappoint.

The first card I have to share has a Birch Background inked in Sahara Sand. The floral images were coloured using Night of Navy Blends with Granny Apple Green accents.

The second creation I have to share with you today uses the detailed bands die, cut in half and protruding from the floral bouquet. The flowers were coloured using Water Colour Pencils with the centre gold heat embossed.

I adore the sweet Scalloped Note Cards and coordinating envelopes. These cuties were easy to replicate for my customers who placed orders last month. And with matching envelopes they looked uber cute attached to their orders. Beautiful Friendship is the stamp set used for these four cards btw.

The final card has been coloured using Stampin' Blends. Yes that blue is coloured with a Pool Party Blend ;)

That's it from me today. Until next time, stay awesome and stay crafty
