Our Theme this month is In-Colors 2023-25
Stampin’ Up!® have given us 5 NEW In- Colors to use over the next 2 years. These colours – Wild Wheat, Boho Blue, Moody Mauve, Pebble Path and Cooper Clay. These 5 colours have great earthy tones they work well together and with other colours.
My take on these colours are….
Boho Blue – I love Blues
Wild Wheat – a great colour to use if you want Gold accents with out the shinny metallic gold. Wild Wheat also has green under tones which works well for leaves with Autumn tones.
Moody Mauve – This reminds me of Old Rose colours.
Pebble Path – This colour to me has a warm gray tones, a nice blend between browns and greys.
Cooper Clay – Cooper Clay is like the Wild Wheat , could be a replacement for metallic Cooper and again has autumn tones.
Dainty Delight
For my card I decided to use Boho Blue as my card base and back drop for the floral arrangement. With the Moody Mauve and the Boho Blue the Wild Wheat has a green tone.
The flowers I coloured with Moody Mauve Blends, Wild Wheat for the flower centers. The leaves I use Soft Sea Foam just to give a hint of a different green and not wanting to go too bright.
The ribbon, I unraveled approx 8cm and tied it into a note, rather than a bow. A bow in the coordinating ribbon – Boho Blue Textured Ribbon would have been a little too heavy against the lightness of the stems and floral image.
The sentiment I stamped using the Pebble Path ink, not as dark as the basic black
How to make this card…
Please note that the conversion from Metric/A4 to Imperial/Letter will change the look of the card slightly. There is a difference of roughly 1cm/ ⅜”. This all makes a difference to the layers in the length of the card. You could make the lengths of the DSP shorter but then in doing that the Die Cut stems would be longer than the DSP. So I will leave that to you to decide what you want to do.

Pear Pizzazz (I will be sad to see this go – but I can’t wait to play with all those new colours)
I created a textured back ground with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and added a die cut over the top.
I added a circle of vellum and placed it under the large flower to separate it from the other flowers.
The inside of the card I added a strip of embossed cardstock across the bottom of the card with a trim of Highland Heather cardstock and an watercolour leaf.

Fancy Flora Suite Collection
I am really enjoying playing with this suite, I put of buying it for a little while, until I worked out what I was wanting……In the end I just had to get it, I love the flowers and the Designer Series Paper is stunning. There is so much in this suite it is totally worth the extra cost. There are 2 Bundles of Stamps and coordinating dies. But don’t feel you have to purchase the lot you can purchase just what you want.
** Remember you get a 10% off when you purchase the Bundles – Two-Tone Flora Bundle and Something Fancy Bundle
This is a 3 Fold Card, where the left side folds in first and then the left over the top. This card has two card fronts and I needed to show off this DSP, i just love all these colours.
This is a two step stamp and I found it easier to stamp the detailed image first and then using the same colour and the second image, stamp off onto a scrap of paper before stamping the rest of the flower. I used the centers of the flowers (stamen) as my guide for lining yp the images.

This card was created for our Stamp Camp held last weekend. It was amazing and the project created by the other team members were amazing. To see them follow the Hop, links are listed below. I hope next time you can join us….Our next Camp will be in July, so watch for more details as we get closer.
Here is my card that I created for the camp and this hop.
This card is made of layers, of Crumb Cake and Bermuda Bay Cardstock. The circle background was created by colouring vellum with Stampin’ Blends (Tahitian Tide & Bermuda Bay) and 99% Alcohol. I wanted the alcohol background to give the feeling of movement and water.
To see how I created this background, see my video using this technique HERE, from a few years ago.
The card Insert kept very simple….

Welcome to Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of very keen Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. Today our Blog Hop is about ‘Birthdays’ and I have used the Framed Florets Collection for my card.
Happy Birthday – Framed Florets
Last chance to play with this Fitting Florets Collection before it’s gone. The good thing is that the Framed Florets Bundle will be in the coming Jan- April 2023 Mini Catalogue by Stampin’ Up! ®.
I have gone a bit ‘Shabby’ with this card, with torn and rolled edges on the layers of DSP and cardstock. The top layer of Balmy Blue cardstock has been embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder to give it that added texture.
The edges to both layers I have either torn or run the blade of my snipes along to distress them.
The sentiment was stamped using Night of Navy Ink and fussy cut. A large double bow made using white bakers twine added behind the sentiment, with the sentiment raised on dimensionals.
Don’t throw away those flowers along the edges, fussy cut them out and add them to the inside of your cards
Thank you for reading my Blog Post. Hope you have a Joyful and wonderful Christmas with family and Friends

Gift Card Holder -Boughs of Holly
Creativity Abounds Blog Hop is about Packaging using Stampin’ Up!® product. My project is a Gift Card Holder using Boughs of Holly and more.
I love Gift Card Holders, as my boys have grown up into young men living away from home it makes it so easy now to just give them a Gift Card for Birthdays, Christmas or just because you want to.
But how do you wrap them to make them special. I like to decorate them , make them special.
This gift holder I CASED from one I found on Pinterest and I found one by Studio 490 Now she made hers using a large tag…I had a look at all our supplies and thought ‘Yep” I can do that….so using Boughs of Holly and a few added extras this is what I came up with. Below you will find a link to all the products I used.
