Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - Sketch & New "In Colors"

 

Welcome to May's Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are focusing on the brand new 2025-2027 In Colors and a Sketch!

There are five new In Colors - Strawberry Slush (a returning colour), Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.

I used three In Colors in my card - Secret Sea, Cloud Cover and Timid Tiger. The card base is Secret Sea and I cut off 2" from the front which is used for the sentiment mat, adhered to a Timid Tiger layer.

I used the brand new Florals in Bloom Suite Collection. The DSP pieces are from the Florals in Bloom 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. The sentiments are from the Sweet Blooms Bundle.

The vertical strip of Secret Sea was embossed with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and covered with Wink of Stella for some glitter.

I added a strip of DSP on the inside and finished the card with the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls in Timid Tiger.

Please enjoy hopping around below to see the wonderful projects by my talented teammates!

AWOW Blog Hop - Seasons

 

Welcome to this month's Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop! We are celebrating our 5 year anniversary with a series of "team member focus" blog hops where we are CAS(e)ing a different team member each blog hop. Our team member focus this month is the fabulous Cheryll Miller!

Our theme this month is "Seasons". I decided to focus on spring and chose this gorgeous card made by Cheryll for my inspiration!

Here is what I came up with!

I changed the colour scheme to use some of the new In Colors, including Secret Sea, Cloud Cover and Strawberry Slush. I added in Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green to keep the basic colour scheme of Cheryll's card.

The flowers and leaves on my card are all die-cuts from the Pretty Florals Dies. I added Strawberry Slush ink with a Sponge Dauber to the edge of the flowers and the centre die-cut pieces.

In keeping with the stripes on Cheryll's card, I used Cloud Cover striped paper from the Florals in Bloom 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. The card base and mat are Secret Sea.

The sentiment is from The Right Words Stamp Set and is stamped in Secret Sea. I finished with Two-Tone Sparkle Gems which have the light blue/purple colours to go with the card.

Thank you, Cheryll, for the beautiful inspiration!
