Colour Challenge


Hello and welcome 

Thank you for visiting me, you may have come over from Stacey or starting at my page.

For this month's hop the theme was a Colour Challenge, I was so happy with these colours and it didn't take long before I was getting my craft on.

Below are the two cards that I created, I used the Dandy Laser-Cut paper to create a stencil and coloured the white card blank with the Blending Brushes and the chosen ink pads.


The cards were finished off with greetings from the Many Messages stamp set and die, then I added the Ladybug Trinkets and Mossy Meadow Braided Trim.  When they were complete I used Wink of Stella to add some sparkle.

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 Stamp n' Hop blog hop and head on over to have a look at what Laura is working on.

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

Movie Time

Hello and welcome,

Thank you for joining the Crafty Collaboration Blog Hop. 

This blog hops theme is Movies and TV, I really had no idea where to start with this one until I started looking through my photos and the inspiration was right there.

Back in December 2019 I went Christmas food shopping with my two daughters and granddaughter.  Isla is a really big Disney Frozen fan so when she saw Olaf her eyes lit up.  Her Auntie (who she calls Tittie) asked Isla if she would like it, her smile was captured in the photo that is on its own, so Tittie bought it for her as a gift. 



As you can see this stuffed toy was rather large but Isla insisted that she could help her Momma carry him.









For the background I used the Square Lattice Doilies, Blending Brushes and Pumpkin Pie ink pad.


I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog post and have a lovely Blog Hop journey as you continue hopping around the world and seeing what other Stampin' Up! demonstrators have created for the Movie and TV theme

Technique Tuesday - Die-Cutting

 


Hello and welcome,
You will be joining me directly or as part of the Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop where you will be visiting Demonstrators from around the world to see various projects that have been created using die-cutting techniques.  


I chose to do one of my favourites which I have not used in a very long time, where you create a hinged die cut.


You fold your piece of card in half and the you place the die on top of the card with the hinged just before the cutting edge.

Then this hinged card was ready to use on the card I created for my Mum who passed away five years ago on the 6th February.  I attached the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper to the card base (14.85cm x 17.5cm scored at 10.5cm).

With the card closed I lined up the hinged insert after one side was embossed using the Script 3D embossing folder and attached it to the base, once this as done I was able to decorate the card and finish it off.

 

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

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

Time to say Thank You

 Hello and Happy February 

Thank you for joining me on the Demonstrator Training Blog Hop where you will be visiting Demonstrators from around the world to see various Thank You cards.

For these cards I loved the idea of just using the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper and as these cards were two designs that I created for my team they were so nice to make when doing a nice  batch of them.

As my blog shows I love fussy cutting so I was as happy as a snail in a lettuce patch making these cards.  I was able to even use the greating 'Bonjour' as I have a lovely lady on my team in Paris.

I lightly dragged the Smoky Slate ink pad across my clear block to use to create the background onto the Basic White card blank. I just added all of my layers and added the die-cut greeting. Obviously I had to put a little bit of shimmer on using the good ole' Wink of Stella.

I just want to say thank you for taking the time to read this post and I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created.  Enjoy the rest of the hope as you head on over to have a look at what everyone is working on.

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

Tis the Season in February


Hello and thank you stopping by,

You may have started your blog hop journey with me or visited from Kim.  This is my first blog post of the year for the Stampin' for Christmas blog hop and I was really excited to create this project.





 



Christmas Wreath 

This was created using Poinsettia Petals stamp set and dies by Stampin' Up! ©













With only 322 days left until Christmas 2021 I have decided that this will be the most organised Christmas ever!  So around the 24th of each month I will spend three days crafting for Christmas and I will share what I have made with you all on the Stampin' for Christmas monthly blog hop.

After I stamped and/or die cut the flowers and leaves I used the Blender Brushes to add colour and definition to them using the same ink colour as the card.


 
I mixed and matched the stamped images with the die-cut pieces and layered them up, then I decided to add some Gold Foil die-cut pieces to give some extra glitz.

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 Stampin' for Christmas blog hop and head on over to have a look at what Narelle is working on.

Just a little Thank You!

Welcome to my latest blog post,

This will be my first entry for Kylie's International Blog Highlights.  Every month we have to submit a Thank You card and visitors to the post get to vote on the cards.

I chose to enter this card from the new Stampin’ Up! January to June Mini Catalogue as the little person I want to send this card to has a Dashund puppy. 


I used first and second generation stampin with Flirty Flamingo ink pad to stamp the hearts in the background.  

A sponge dauber with Soft Suede ink to colour the dog.  

In addition to this I coloured the pearls with Flirty Flamingo blends.





It gave me great joy making this card as I know my little friend will absolutely love it, especially as I am giving her the stamp set in a good bag.

Well thank you for taking the time to read this post, I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created.

Share It Sunday

Welcome

I cannot believe that it is the end of the month already and time for another Share it Sunday post, considering the UK have spent all of January in Lockdown it truly has flown by.

Thank you for joining me either directly or as part of the Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop where you will be hoping around Demonstrators pages from around the world and looking at what they have been creating using current Stampin' Up! products.

At the moment Stampin; Up! have a fantastic offer on where you can choose FREE PRODUCTS for every £45 that you spend from the Sale-a-Bration brochure (catalogue links to the right of this post)

Last week my team (The Inkspirational Stampers) and the team I am on (Stampin' STYlettes) had a Mystery Stamping session, the only information we were given was the sizes of the cards and DSP pieces and that we needed a stamp set.  This truly threw my OCD into overdrive but I was more than happy with the outcome.


For this card I knew I had to use the gorgeous Blackberry Bliss as it is such a lovely colour that worked really well the raspberries from the Berry Blessings stamp set.




I must confess that it wasn't until is started using the FREE Oh So Ombre DSP that I fell in love with the Granny Apple Green colour.  I think I may have a new favourite green.



I hope you have enjoyed reading this post and I want to thank you for hopping by.  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 everyone is working on.
