Crumb Cake is our focus this week for the Colour Creations Instagram Hop!

My card this week is a Waterfall card using the Everyday Essentials Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the new Hot Foiling System that arrived this week!!!! I used the Silver and Pink Foil for this card.

I foiled the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil dies onto Barely Blush Two-tone card and the Silver Foil onto Crumb Cake card using the Flourish and Frames Hot Foil dies. The Classic Greetings Hot Foil dies I did with Pink Foil onto the new Smooth Foiling Specialty paper which is white.

Coastal Cabana is our focus this week for the Colour Creations Instagram Hop 💚

I've been very time poor with family matters this week, so my card is a very simple one. The Lighthouse is from the Sunset Coast Dies, featured in a fun sunset!

My card base is Coastal Cabana with a Basic White piece dry embossed with the Soft Waves 3D Embossing folder. The circles are various sizes of circle punches, cut in half and layered on top of each other to one side to create a cool sunset coast effect. The cardstock colours for the semi circles are (Largest to Smallest): Timid Tiger, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lolly & Very Vanilla on the top and below are Misty Moonlight, Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Coastal Caba & Pool Party.

Secret Sea is the fussy cut piece of land, and the lighthouse die cut is Basic White cardstock coloured with Blends Combo Markers: Secret Sea & Poppy Parade. I also splattered some Coastal Cabana ink with a few drops of water and my Water Painter.

There are no sentiments added, as I'm not sure the occasion yet, so that will come later. I think it would make a great masculine card though!

Cloud Cover is our focus this week for the Colour Creations Instagram Hop!

My card this week is a pillar card using the Rolling Waves dies and the Scenic Coast Specialty DSP that is perfect for a masculine birthday.

A Cloud Cover card base with Night of Navy matt layers behind the Scenic Coast SDSP. I've also used Basic Beige card for the sand, Basic White and Cloud Cover to die cut the waves. I added some shells to the sand and the inside of the card and some small gold birds to the sky.

Cherry Cobbler is our focus this week for the Colour Creations Instagram Hop!

My cards this week are both created from one sheet of cardstock and features a sneak peek of some soon to be released products from the Sept-Dec Mini catalogue. The Christmas Mice Bundle and A Little Christmas DSP feature on Card 1.

Card 2 has an Aussie themed stamp set called Joyous Friends. I love this little koala sitting in the gum leaf wreath!

Calypso Coral is our focus this week for the Colour Creations Instagram Hop!

My card this week features the stunning Scenic Coast Specialty DSP and the Sunset Coast dies.

A card base scored into 4 equal panels with matt layers of Calypso Coral card then the DSP. The two stitched circles are sitting on a mechanism, so they float above the card.

The card front I left very simple with more DSP and the lighthouse (with Calypso Coral stripes) in the bottom corner, and I stamped some boats on the water. On the back of the card, I added two Basic White layers to write the message to the recipient.

The Rolling Waves Bundle is so much fun to create with. I love this scene with the waves, shells with pearls and the beach towel and unbrella. The umbrella is on a spinner so it spins around for a fun interactive feature. The towel is stamped using the Stripes & Dots stamp set and the end cut with snips to resemble the tassels!

Hooray For Birthdays Paper Pumpkin Kit - July 2026

Here's another alternative card using this kit, with the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder and the Detailed Flora Dies [Jul-Sept Add Ons]. I had all these banners left over from the kit, so stamped on them and used up the last two pieces of scrap card bases that was left over. It turned out okay, what do you think?!!!
