Creation Station Blog Hop - In Color & Core Color

Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. This is the latest hop with the design team at Creation Station, if you have come from Teri West or you may have started with me. Please make sure you hop around and see everyone's amazing projects. I'll pop a link at the end of my blog.

The design team at Creation Station are presenting their projects with the theme "In Color & Core Color" we got to choose our favourite colour combination. Choose one new In Color and one core color, plus Basic White/Beige/Grey/Black. I decided to go with Petunia Pop which is a new In Color for 2024-2026 and Old Olive which is a beautiful green. 

For my project I went with the Flower of Beauty (163376) and Unbounded Love (163384) bundles which are part of the Unbounded Beauty Suite Collection (163390) you can find them in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue for 2024-25 and is located on page 52-55. I love everything about this suite including the gorgeous Designer Series Paper, embellishments and I love that all of the new In Colors are featured in this suite.

The Flowers of Beauty bundle consist of the Flowers of Beauty stamp set and dies, I've stamped the images in Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock and then coloured them in using Petunia Pop and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. I then went over the coloured images with the same colour ink and lightly applied ink using the Blending Brush.

I've added a few die-cut images for the background using Petunia Pop In Color Glimmer Paper and a couple of additional green foliage images by blending Old Olive ink onto Basic White cardstock and die-cut out using the Flowers of Beauty and Unbounded Love dies.

I do love to add lots of different layers to a card and give it a vintage vibe with different Designer Series Paper, Embossing Folders, Ribbon, Embellishments and Twine. Here I've used Country Woods 12x12 Designer Series Paper (163393), 2024-2026 In Color 6x6 Designer Series Paper (163777), Timber 3D Embossing Folder (156406), Distressed Tile Embossing Folder (162189) Black & Very Vanilla Large Check Ribbon (161982), Linen Thread (104199) and Adhesive Backed Pearl Trio (163319).
