March Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #40

Posted on by

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?

Flowing Flowers

Posted on by

On my Friday Facebook Live on the 25th February I created 3 cards using the Flowing Flowers Stamp set from the January to June Mini Catalogue.

The inspiration for these cards came from two places. The middle card was from a stamp camp that I attended recently and was a shoebox swap but with different colours created originally by Paula.

The first & third cards were inspired by Michelle Litwiller from Owl Star Stampers in the US. She used a different stamp set but I definitely copied the layout and how she created these cards and changed the stamp set to the Flowing Flowers. You can see her video here.

Hello Ladybug

Posted on by

Today I am sharing with you a card created with the Hello Ladybug stamp set from the January to June Mini Catalogue. This card was designed by Priscilla at a recent Stamp Camp that my upline held at the beginning of February.

While at camp I decided to record myself creating the card with the shoebox and all the items that were supplied in that shoebox. The video is below and I hope you enjoy it as I decided to speed it up for you. If you’d like some instructions on how the card came together, please let me know.

The Hello Ladybug stamp set is super cute and coordinates with a punch. When you purchase the bundle you can save 10% but only while it is in the January to June Mini Catalogue. Bundles are a fabulous option for a lower price point to grab coordinating products to get creative.

February Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #39

Posted on by

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.

Blending Brushes meets Paradise Palms

Posted on by

In todays post, Blending Brushes meets Paradise Palms. I love these cards and the quick and easy way they are created. These cards are using the blending brushes. One of the cards also uses a masking technique which gives a definite panel which is coloured. The other card is free hand but I love them both.

On each card I have used the same colours, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral & Crumb Cake for the blended backgrounds and then used the Memento Black ink for the palm trees and the sentiment. The original inspiration came from Angie Leach & Stampin’ Fun with Tracy – I couldn’t find her blog but found the image from Pinterest.

As always you will see all the products I have used at the bottom of this email. This stamp set has been fun to play with and you can see some of the other cards I have created here.

Paradise Palms Bundle

Posted on by

Paradise Palms Bundle is available now from the January to June Mini Catalogue while supplies last. When I was creating this card I couldn’t locate my dies so I fussy cut out the palm heads. I was casing the catalogue with this card but changed it slightly. Adding some ink behind the trees adds something extra to the card I think. What do you think? This is the second card in my series of cards and you can see the first card here.
