AWHT COLOUR CREATIONS SHOWCASE - WEEK 10: CINNAMON CIDER

Tonight a group of us is sharing creations that use Cinnamon Cider, one of the five new In Colors in Stampin' Up!'s range.  We'll have this lovely colour for two years, which makes me happy.  I love it, because it's different to any other colour we already had.  The Colour Creations Showcase is being co-ordinated by Catherine Proctor.  Cathy  has on her blog a comprehensive list of all participants in tonight's share.  We'd love for you to visit all our blogs, and leave us comments if you like what you see!

I have used Cinnamon Cider, with Misty Moonlight, and with Early Espresso, on a few masculine cards already.  I wanted to challenge myself to make a baby card, using this colour combination:

Here's what I came up with ... a card that was a lot of fun to make!

I started off by making some "building blocks", by scribbling on my Clear Block A with Stampin' Write Markers (in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray), spritzing the inked block with water, and stamping it onto Whisper White card.  When the ink was dry (that took only a minute or two), I used my Stitched Shapes square dies to cut out each block.  

On another piece of Whisper White card, I used my Stampin' Blends Markers, in Light Cinnamon Cider, Light Misty Moonlight, and Light Seaside Spray, to create horizontal stripes.  I attached some cut-to-size Foam Adhesive Sheet to the back of the card, and ran it through my die-cutting and embossing machine, using the Playful Alphabet Dies.  These dies cut through the foam like butter - I was super-impressed!  After peeling off the backing sheet, I then adhered the letters to the block shapes.

The die-cut "welcome" in Cinnamon Cider is from the Well Written dies.  The scalloped white panel (that evokes thoughts of a little baby blanket, don't you think?) is embossed with one of the sweet Little Details embossing folders.

We hope you enjoy hopping around everyone's blogs, and getting inspired to use Cinnamon Cider in your papercraft projects.

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to buy them for yourself, I would love it if you shopped with me!  You can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
