So I'm currently working on this!

Hello and welcome,

Just wanted to start by saying 'thank you' for joining me as part of the Ink.Stamp.Share Showcase Blog Hop where you will be visiting Demonstrators who are sharing what they are working on now.   You may have started with me or hopped here from Kim's page.

We are at this time of the year for Demonstrators when the excitement of viewing the new annual catalogue (as a Demonstrator you get to see this before customers) is less than two weeks away and you realise how much stuff you have bought and not used.  As a result I am creating cards using the Whale of a Time stamp set and punch that will be sold in my craft shop when I reopen next month.

I basically sat down with half a packed of Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper  (twenty four sheets) and created a shocking *THIRTY ONE* card bases and still had some pieces left over.  

These were created with full sheets of DSP and co-ordinating cardstock which was embossed using the Seabed 3D embossing folder.  They are now all ready for me to decorate and make into complete cards over the next week or two.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have done so far, and please pop back to see the finished cards very soon.

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 Ink.Stamp.Share blog hop and head on over to have a look at what Tricia is working on.

Please see below the supply list of the products used in these projects:

Fun Fold Card - Boho Indigo

 

Hello and welcome to my latest blog post,

You will be joining me directly or from Karen as part of the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop where you will be visiting Demonstrators from around the world.  This month's challege was a 'Fun Fold' card and I loved how it reminded me of how much I like making different cards.

When I saw Boho Indigo Product Medley in the Annual Catalogue I knew I had to have it straightaway, however I never thought it would take me this long to play with it.  I wish I had played with it sooner as I loved, loved, loved using it.  It has so much potential and with so many components in the medley it offers great value for money and plenty of crafting opportunities.

I chose to make a 6" x 6" fun fold card so I couls add more to it and create special card to send to someone.  If you wanted to use A4 cardstock it is 14.85cm x 29.7cm and scored on the longest wide at 14.85cm.  By adding a bit of gold heat embossing  it complimented the gold in the medley.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created.  It is now time for you to carry on with your Stamp 'n Hop blog hop and head on over to have a look at what Cheryl is working on.

Anything but a card!

Hello and welcome,

Thank you for joining me as part of the Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop.  Demonstrators from around the world will be sharing what projects that have created for this month's theme 'Anything but a card!'

I knew instantly that it was time to get my scrap on, so I dived into my mountains of photographs that I need to scrap with and found this gorgeous photopgraph of my three granddaughters (soon to be four of them) as Lexi-Lu returns back to school.

Usually I know what papers, stamps etc I am going to use as I already know which photograph I want to use to go with them, but this time I found the photo first and matched things up to the photo.

I could not believe how many colours in the photograph matched Stampin' Up! colours - the brick wall was an exact match to Cinnamon Cider, the weeds (lol) was Shaded Spruce, Isla's dress was Terracotta Tile with Cinnamon Cider dots.  I just love the co-ordination that Stampin' Up! has to offer across their range of products.

The date is mounted on a die-cut scallop circle (Layering Circles) and I used a gold hoop onto the Gold Foil as it just framed the date.  By adding the bow from the Forevery Greenery ribbon twin pack it added the finishing touches.

For the ribbon I used a darning needle and weaved the gold thread through the Very Vanilla ribbon and attached with double-sided tape.

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 Collaboration blog hop and head on over to have a look at what the lovely Jo is working on.

Technique Tuesday - Crafting with ribbon.

  

Hello and welcome,

Thank you for joining me as part of the Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop. Today you will see Demonstrators from around the world and the projects they have created using ribbon as they show you different techniques. 

I chose to colour mine using the Stampin' Blend Markers

When I chose these colours, I had forgotten how much I loved them, I plan to enjoy them more in their last year as they will retire May 2022.

To colour the Crinkled Seam Ribbon I gently used the brush end of the nib and on a piece of scrap paper I placed the nib onto the ribbon and slowly pulled the ribbon along, any bits that got missed I just coloured over it.  

The ribbon dries really quick and was ready to use within in a minute.  You will notice that this ribbon will become slightly stiffer which isn't a bad thing as it is quite a fly away static ribbon. 

Here are two cards that I made using Flowers for Every Season memories and more cards, Jar of Flowers stamp set and the Crinkled Seam ribbon I coloured using Stampin' Blends:

I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created.  It is now time for you to carry on with your Crafty Collaborations blog hop and head on over to have a look at what everyone is working on.

Just a little thank you

Welcome to my latest blog post,

For Valentine's Day I took part in a Book Swap where you are randomly allocate a person to send a book to for a certain theme. I have previously posted on the 13th February what I sent to my recipient.  However I was overwhelmed with the goodies that I received from my Secret Elf that it warranted me sending them a Thank You card and a few goodies.

Here is the card I created: 

   

I truly enjoyed using the Lots of Heart stamp set and dies by Stampin' Up! I can guarantee you that these will be used to make more of these cards and scrapbooking pages.  When you look at the close up you can see the detail involved when I made it.

By using the Scripty 3D embossing folder it truly gave a lovely background.  To give a more classic look I used the Crumb Cake ink pad  and the Blending Brush around the edge and to colour the bird. 

I coloured the white Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon by using the Light Crumb Cake Blends Pen an attached it behind the hearts layers.

The several layers of die-cut hearts lifted the stamped heart image.  Plus the die-cut banners. Finally the heat embossed gretting added the finishing touch.  

This card was created as part of the monthly International Projects Highlights where people get to vote for their five favourite cards and the Top Ten get invited to a special Blog Hop hosted by the lovely Kylie Bertucci (#1 Australian Demonstrator).  Last month I came twelth with my Thank You card.

You can see all of the cards that have entered by clicking on the button below and then you can choose whicd five you want to vote for.

I just want to say thank you for taking the time to read this post, I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created. View all the cards here.

Tis' the season

 

Hello and welcome to my latest blog post,

Thank you for joining me from Kim's post, as you join the Stampin' for Christmas Blog Hop where you will be visiting Demonstrators from around the world to see various projects that have been created for Christmas.

I chose to use a stamp set that was not designed for Christmas, I have been in love with the Floral Essence stamp set that is in the current Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.

I love using my favourite embosing folder called Scripty 3D as it gives extra definition and although the script is not Christmas words it still look good.  

When the card is open the flower and greeting will remain on the inside but can be seen through the hole.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to read this post and I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created.  It is now time for you to carry on with your Stampin' for Christmas blog hop and head on over to have a look at what Vickie is working on.

Introducing the Butterfly Bouquet Collection

 

Hello and welcome to my latest blog post,

Lovely to see you as you join me as you hop around the Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop where you will be visiting Demonstrators from around the world to see various projects that have been created using the Butterfly Bouquet Collection by Stampin' Up! products that are now available to purchase early as the stamp set and dies will be available in the upcoming new Stampin’ Up! new Annual Catalogue.

Recently as part of our team we all got together for our fortnighly Mystery Stamping, this was the layout that we made.

I truly enjoyed making these cards as the colours of the Butterfuly Bijou Designer Series Paper were so lovely and bright that they worked really well with the Basic Gray and Smoky Slate colours.

For the first time in ages I used Faux Stitching technique as it adds some nice accent to the cards, if I had thought quick enough I would have used my sewing machine and used real stitches.

  

In this collection you will find stamp set and dies which are an early realease in the new upcoming Annual Catalogue but the Natural and the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper are only available until the 3rd May 2021.

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 Collaborations blog hop and head on over to have a look at what everyone is working on.
