Colour Creations: Cinnamon Cider

Hi!


Welcome back to another week of the Colour Creations Showcase. We are up to Cinnamon Cider this week, which is one of the newest In Colours. It's what I'd call a caramel brown, perhaps. I'm still deciding if I like the colour or not - brown is not particularly a go-to colour for me. I definitely don't hate it though. I paired it with Very Vanilla for tonight's card.

The Stitched Triangles Dies were one of the very first things I ordered from the new Annual Catalogue, but it's taken me until now to crack them open. Thanks for the nudge, Christine! I started by using the third largest equilateral triangle die to cut five Cinnamon Cider triangles. I then embossed them with my Subtle Embossing Folder, all in random directions. I then adhered them across the front of my card, which is also embossed with the Subtle folder.

The Playful Alphabet dies were used for the' Happy' part of the sentiment. The new Adhesive Foam Sheets pop them up nicely, without any fuss. The rest the sentiment was stamped using Well Said, and cropped using my new Banners Pick A Punch tool.

The Stitched Triangles Dies have this fab die, which cuts a line of triangles in your cardstock. I though it was the perfect compliment for the front of my card.

To see the rest of this week's Cinnamon Cider cards you will need to head on over to Catherine's blog, where you'll find all the links. I wonder if I will finally decide if I like Cinnamon Cider after seeing them? I'm sure that I will!

Bye for now,

Tina

  4. Woohoo - you used the Stitched Triangle Dies! Awesome card, Tina. Don't you just love the border die, that you used on the inside of your card? Told you they were fun dies to play with, didn't I?! :)

  5. A classic card with subtle texture is always a winner. The inside is the icing on the cake, love the borders.

  6. When I was planning my card and collecting the bits, I kept thinking, I wonder if Cinnamon Cider is drunk hot or cold, and particularly today I was thinking I bet in the northern hemisphere they have it piping hot in this weather. Then Kate’s card made me think of chocolate and yours is definitely a caramel delight!! Never looking at this colour the same way again LOL

  8. I love your card and I hadn't thought about getting this the stitched triangles but it is getting higher up the list all the time. Unlike Kathryn I didn't think about drinking when I saw your card I more thought about toblerone! HAHAHA! Love the subtles embossing on your card too! Perfect!

  9. Geometric is perfect for a masculine card, Tina and the Subtle embossing in different directions looks great. Christine 'enabled' with these dies as well, so I must pull them out!

  12. Looking at your fabulous card Tina and saying to myself, "You do not need another set of dies!!! You DO NOT need another set of dies." This week I purchased the Coming Home bundle and I am blaming you and Christine for that. (Off to locate Wishlist.)
