Winter Holidays Crafty Blog Hop

Hello to you all as we enter the last month of December, 

Welcome and I hope you will enjoy hoping through everyone's blog posts, I love seeing what all the fellow Demonstrators from around the world have been creating.

For this Winter Holidays blog hop I chose to create a card for 'New Years' as I know someone who I would like to send this to as they do not celebrate Christmas. 

I truly enjoyed making this card, I keep forgetting how gorgeous these Stitched Stars Dies are when you die-cut them out of metallic foil and I love the way they just all got together.  It has been a while since I last used the Scripty 3D embossing folder and just added the white edges using the Whisper White Ink Pad with a Sponge Dauber.

Well thank you for taking the time to read this post, I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created.  It is now time for you to carry on with your Crafty Blogs blog hop and head on over to have a look at what everyone is working on.

Tag Buffet Kit for the Crafty Blog Hop

 

Good afternoon and welcome to my blog post for the Crafty Blog Hop,

Today you will be seeing blog posts from global Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators as they show what they have created using Stampin’ Up!’s Tag Buffet stamp set and/or project kit which is such a versatile stamp set and kit.

I had great fun playing with both of these items and so far, I am only halfway through the kit as this is truly a kit packed with value and potential.

Once I get a kit from Stampin’ Up! I will always make up the first set of products as shown in their easy to read instructions, thereafter anything goes.  

The two tags in these pictures are the first set (six in total) that I made, then I went onto make a set of six cards to go along with the tags.  

This Saturday I am participating in another blog hop where I will show you some of the other projects that I have made. I hope you will be able to pop back and have a look at what I made using them.

   

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to read this post, have fun as you continue your blog hop journey, time to pop on over to the next blog post.

Masculine cards for the Crafty Blog Hop

 

Hello and thank you for stopping by, it is lovely to see you.

How lovely to be crafting a male card for the Crafty Blogs, it is one card types that I struggle with creating as I only have my father to send a male card too.  This card will be used for my father once I have added ‘Dad’ to it.

I knew I wanted to use the Sprig Punch from the Annual Catalogue and incorporate it with the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set.

For the holly I chose to heat emboss using the gold powder onto Old Olive card and heat emboss the berries onto Real Red card and fussy cut the out and attach on top of the Old Olive.

   

Just wanted to say thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your hop.

My Paper Pumpkin UK style

                         

Hello and thank you for popping by as I show you my take on next months Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin Kit.

This Paper Pumpkin kit was available in the USA last month and I am very excited to announce that this kit will be available to order in the UK from Tuesday 3^rd November 2020.

As I have not been able to order the kit yet, I have created a card using the colours in the Paper Pumpkin Kit as inspiration – Crumb Cake, Soft Sea Foam and Early Espresso.  I chose to use A Merry Hello stamp set that is available for customers who place orders over £150.

   A Merry Hello

   Hostess Stamp Set

   August to December Mini Catalogue

I found this card harder than I would have liked, I was using colours out of my comfort zone as I love the traditional colours of Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Early Espresso, however it was nice to be challenged.

 

Having stamped the background using the dots in the set switching between first and second generations stamping.  I did not want to use the greeting whole so I did some fussy cutting and split it into two.  

Once I had stamped and fussy cut the stockings and trees it was just a matter off assembling them, placed them on top of the linen thread and then my card was complete.

I am looking forward to playing some more with this stamp set, so please subscribe to my blog so you can see my future creations.

Thank you so much for stopping by, hope to see you again very soon.

It is time for Trimming the Town with a Crafty Blog Hops

Hello and welcome to my latest blog post,

Today I will be sharing the two projects that I made fir the Crafty Blogs Blog Hop using the Trimming the Town Suite by Stampin’ Up!  

In this suite there is the Coming Home stamp set with co-ordinating dies, Designer Series Patterned Paper, embellishments and ribbons.  

      

I knew that this would be one of those suites that has so many options but for now I have made a Terry’s Chocolate Orange gift box and a Christmas greetings card.  Every year in my Cards and 3D class we would always make a Terry's Chocolate Orange gift box, then I present them with the chocolate to put in the box, but this year I changed how I made it as I wanted a hinged lid.

 

One of the sheets of Designer Series Paper sheets had houses and trees on which can be cut out with the co-ordinating dies or fussy cut with scissors.  Most of my past posts will have some fussy cutting on them as I just love doing it, as I find it so therapeutic.  I even used the partial houses and trees to give a 3D effect by adding mini dimensionals after I cut them out.

             

I wanted to use Stampin’ Up! window sheets for the card front as I could add layers and depth to the card and also incorporate the insert into the card image. 

I loved how the Terry Chocolate gift box came together, I loved the gorgeous colours, the patterns on the paper and how I was able to wrap around the bottom of the gift box.

Howlin' Halloween Crafty Blog Hop

Time for another Crafty Blog Hop with the theme being Halloween.  So, thank you for stopping by and looking at my blog post.

I truly love Halloween; however, I am envious of how Halloween is celebrated in the USA as they really go to town, hardly any effort apart from the occasional “Trick or Treat” here in the UK.

I knew I wanted to use Autumnal colours and it had to be Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Cinnamon Cider!  They just went together so well.  For the wreath I used four pieces of each A4 card colour (49 pieces per sheet).

     

Question… would I do it again???

Answer… oh yes!!! I loved watching it come together, please do not get me wrong, I was over the moon when it was finished and it looked even better than I imagined.

Thank you so much for reading my post, hope you enjoy hopping around and seeing what other global Stampin’ Up! demonstrators have been creating.
