October Color Fuser Blog Hop

Hello Crafters, Bonjour!

Happy October, Happy Fall! I am loving the cool days here in Canada. I am so excited about our October Color Fuser Blog Hop… This month brings a new color fuser blog hop. We are featuring more “fall- ish”colors. Designers can use a combination of Calypso Coral, Petal Pink and Wild Wheat for their project. Think of it as a pumpkin spice latte inspiration…I must admit that this color challenge did scare me a little. I found it a little wilder than the colors we’ve used before. But I am happy with the outcome of my projects. Let me know what you think?

Hop around the world with our group of talented demonstrators. We’ve created designs from our October color challenge using Stampin’up! Colors.

You may have just arrived here from my lovely friend Tami Hewlett from the USA. I totally love her creation for today featuring a different Bundle called Encircled In Nature. At the bottom of the page there is Color Fuser Badge to guide you to the next blog.

Bundle of Choice for my card: More Than Autumn Bundle

This bundle is part of the Mini Catalogue on page 49. I love this bundle so so much. You will not see me part with it. Actually I have another collection of project to show you with it tomorrow.

Color Combination:

Calypso Coral

Petal Pink

Wild Wheat

Instructions:

Cut a 4 1/4″ x 11 piece of Basic White cardstock and score at 5 1/2″
Cut a piece of 4″ x 5 1/4 ” Basic White cardstock
Add strips of Designer Series Paper from the Snowy Scenes DSP and from the Flowering Zinnias DSP
Add a mini strip of Calypso Cardstock
Die cut a circle in Petal Pink using the Stylish Shape Dies (my fav, so practical)and punch a white piece of cardstock using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch
Water color using a Water Painter Brush and Pink Petal Ink
Stamp images from the More Than Autumn Bundle and color in using the coordinating blends
Die cut images from the same bundle
Stamp a greeting from the More Than Autumn in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
Color a piece of Pool Party 5/8″ Pompom Ribbon with the Calypso Coral Blends
Add a bow using Linen Thread
Don’t forget to add specs of ink using coordinating Calypso Coral Stampin’Blends and add your favourite embellishments

To step it up: Add some coordinating projects with this beautiful card. The possibilities are endless when you start designer with the bundle. I’m obsessed at making mini cards and decorating mini envelops. These mini cards are so fun to make and they are amazing if you are a beginner stamper.

I only used the Stampin’Blends from the Color Challenge. I created different tones using the light and dark blends.

I love the Bundle so much that I could not stop creating therefore I made one last project which was a shaker box. The box contains Hot Chocolate Bombs inside the box. The lid is a shaker box of donuts.

Next on the hop is my talented friend Melanie Hockin I adore her card featuring the Regal Floral Bundle. Click on the Blog Badge below to get to her blog.
