May Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #54

Posted on May 14, 2023 by sharon

Welcome to our May Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #54. You may have joined me from Olivia’s Blog or you may be starting right here with me. Either way, welcome to our blog hop for this month. I hope this hop inspires you to get into your craft room and get creating.

I have been a bit AWOL the last couple of months for these Blog Hops. I’ve had a bit too much on. Unfortunately, the blog hop was the thing I needed to let go of. And so I could give more time to things like my Retreat in April and my Creative Escape March.

But I am now back again and this was a great challenge to take part in as it is an Anything Goes Challenge. This provides me open to use absolutely anything I want so I chose to play with the Beauty of the Deep Bundle and the Waves of Inspiration stamp Set & coordinating Waves Dies. All of these products are found in the new Annual Catalogue that was released only 12 days ago.

My Cards

This first card was inspired by one of my amazing downlines, Elizabeth. She created a card with this layout using the By the Bay suite. I love this layout so recreated it using the Beauty of the Deep Bundle along with the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Papers.

My next card is using the Waves of Inspiration Stamp set and the Waves Dies. I have incorporated the Painted Texture Embossing folder. I am thankful that this embossing folder carried over into the new catalogue. The water is created by using the wave image upside down. I then have used my blending brush to add ink to the “Sky” above the water.

Now don’t hang around here all day you need to go and check out all the other blogs on the hop and make sure you comment along your way. It is always lovely to hear your comments on our creativity. Click the “Next Blog” image to be taken to Elizabeth’s blog.

January Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #50

Posted on January 14, 2023 by sharon

Welcome to our January Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #50. Can you believe that we have hit half a century with our little Blog Hops? I am in awe of Nikki that has kept us going this whole time. I am thankful for the challenge that we have each month to keep on stamping and I hope you stamp along with us and take part in the challenges as well.

You may have joined me from Kylie’s Blog or you may be starting right here. Either way, welcome to our blog hop for this month. I hope this hop inspires you to get into your craft room and get creating.

This months Blog Hop is a Layout Challenge. With all the brand new products that have just been release I really had to use the new!! So I chose to take a wander through the Greatest Journey suite and created this card. I took some inspiration from the Mini Catalogue. What do you think? One fabulous thing about this bundle is that when you buy it you get a gift with purchase from the Sale-a-bration catalogue that is on now till the end of February. Cause lets face it, you will need to buy it now 🙂

January Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #50

As you can see I have added a piece of Coastal Cabana on an angle under the white layer. I also stamped the trees in Soft Succulent and cut them out and then stamped numerous times onto the basic white card panel.

July Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #44

Posted on July 14, 2022 by sharon

Anything Goes using something new from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalogue

Welcome to our July Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #44. You may have joined me from Melissa’s Blog or you may be starting right here. Either way, welcome to our blog hop.

This months Blog Hop is an Anything Goes from the Stampin’ Up! July to December Mini Catalogue. I had plans to get creative and make something but my month has been super busy with a kids holiday program at my church last week and then we went away for a couple of days for a bit of a break so I didn’t get a chance to create something new and so please forgive me for sharing a card I made for a team swap last month.

I chose to use the ‘Decorated with Happiness’ stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! July to December Mini Catalogue. The colours I used are Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler and Sahara Sand. I have also used the Time Worn Type 3D embossing folder on the Sahara Sand layer and then used the Blending Brushes to add an antique look to my card. I used the blending brushes on all the pieces to add that antique look. Using my paper snips I chose to shred up the edges and add an additional antique look 🙂

Have you had a chance to look through the Mini Catalogue yet? What is your favourite product from the Stampin’ Up! July to December Mini Catalogue?

March Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #40

Posted on March 14, 2022 by sharon

Welcome to our March Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #40. You may have joined me from Melissa’s Blog or are you starting right here? Either way, welcome. There are 8 of us hopping along this month so you’re in for a real treat.

This months Blog Hop is a colour challenge and we are using some In Colors that will be retiring very very soon. I love the colours for this challenge but struggled to work out what I wanted to do so I went with a stamp set that I have been creating with lately, the Artfully Layered Stamp Set.

The Artfully Layered stamp set is from the January to June Mini Catalogue. I chose to do a slim line card this month. Can you believe that this is only the 2nd slimline card that I have created? What do you think of my card?

February Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #39

Posted on February 14, 2022 by sharon

Welcome to our February Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #39. Have you joined me from Niki’s blog or are you starting right here? Either way, welcome. There are 9 of us hopping along this month so you’re in for a real treat.

This months Blog Hop is a layout challenge. This challenge was a lovely one to participate in. I was able to create two cards this month and I rotated one of the cards.

I chose to use the tulip paper and coordinating stamp set from the January to June Mini Catalogue. The cards aren’t square but I hope that I have fulfilled the challenge. Layering the DSP onto a colour other that white really brings out the colours in the Designer Series Paper. Isn’t the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper just beautiful? Leaving the DSP to shine was a great choice with just a small amount of stamping.
