Hello everyone!
Welcome to Week 45 of the Colour Creations blog hop from members of the Art with Heart Team.
Tonight our projects will be featuring the colour of Shaded Spruce. It is a lovely shade of emerald green, and it's from the Regals Collection of Stampin' Up! colours.

The card I'm sharing with you all tonight is my version of the template for A Sheetload of Cards for January 2023 from Call Me Crafty Al.

Alicia gave measurements to make 8 cards or just a single one, as I have done here. These sweet Mini Slimline cards are quick to make and I chose to make them with patterns from the Regency Park 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper pack.
Shaded Spruce is just one of the featured colours in this pretty pack of patterned papers. On my card I have included two other colours from the pack - Balmy Blue and Night of Navy.

The birthday sentiment is from the Something Fancy stamp set and I have stamped it onto Balmy Blue card stock with Night of Navy ink. I used one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut it out, trimming off one end with my paper snips.
The Shaded Spruce foliage was cut using a die from the Forever Flourishing Dies, and the lovely bow is made using single strands of Evening Evergreen open weave ribbon. By cutting the satin edge off the ribbon it frays, and that's how you get the individual strands.

The colour of the tiny leaves on the loose daisy embellishments is listed as Old Olive, but I think it looks more like Shaded Spruce, which is perfect for tonight's card! I threw on a few Night of Navy enamel dots as well.

I've listed the Stampin' Up! products I used on my card in thumbnail images that are linked to my online store. You'll find the list below this post.

Wow, Caroline, I've never seen a mini slimline card before - this looks fab! Best use I've seen of those tiny daisy embellishments too.
