May Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #66

Posted on May 14, 2024 by sharon

Welcome to our May Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #66. You may have joined me from Elizabeth’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.

This months challenge is a layout challenge. I enjoyed this layout challenge as I created with the brand new In Colors that hadn’t been released at the time. I held my ProCRAFTinators Retreat and this was one of the projects I focused on creating while away.

This month I chose a stamp set Sweetly Scripted which is a gorgeous set. Using White embossing powder I embossed the words so that they would be more impactful. I cut out the leaves from the Encircled in Nature and I used the uneven circle for the Basic White. I used my Blending brush to add a little ink around the banner to give it a bit of definition and layered it with dimensionals.

What do you think? Do you think I met the challenge?

April Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #65

Welcome to our April Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #65. You may have joined me from Nikki’s page 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.

This months challenge is a colour challenge. Colour challenges are soo much easier than some of the other challenges we have. The colours are chosen for us and if the colours go well together it makes creating quite easy.

This month I chose a stamp set that is retiring, the Color & Contour stamp set is reduced down to $22.20 so is a great bargain. The colours were quite easy to incorporate into my card.

March Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #64

Welcome to our March Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #64. You may have joined me from Nikki’s page 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.

This months challenge is a layout challenge. Layout challenges can take some hard work out of the equation for us but it also adds to the challenge with working out what colours and what stamp set I want to use.

With the new catalogue coming up soon I chose to play with the Simply Zinnia stamp set that was just released with the Online Exclusives. I am liking how I can change up the layouts and you get a different look to the cards.

My take on the Layout Challenge

I created a quick video to show you how I created the cards.

This months challenge is a Colour Challenge. The colours this month have been a bit of a challenge with Pretty Peacock, Crushed Curry & Berry Burst.

The Notes of Nature stamp set is what I decided to use for this months colour challenge. I felt is was quite eclectic enough to utilise the colours beautifully. Starting with Crushed Curry with the largest stamp and then working down the stamp size and just trying to choose the right colour for each stamp. The leaves in Pretty Peacock, the flowers in Berry Burst. I just stamped randomly till I had the images the way I wanted them to be.

Layering the basic white stamped image onto a piece of Crushed Curry and then onto a Berry Burst card base was perfect. And of course I needed to bring in some Pretty Peacock card stock and used it as a strip along the front and stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock as well to finish it all off. This card is very much a #simplestamping card because all I have used is stamps ink and paper and I love it!

Welcome to our November Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #60. You may have joined me from Marelle’ 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.

This months challenge is a layout Challenge. Layout challenges can be quite easy as you already have a layout to work from and you only need to choose the stamps, papers and colours.

I went with some products from the Online Exclusives list. I played with these products on Friday on my facebook live.

I created a gift card holder to get ready for Christmas as it is coming up so very quickly now.

What do you think of my card? Have I inspired you to get creating with this stamp set?

October Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #59

Welcome to our October Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #59. You may have joined me from Eliza beth’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.

This months challenge is a colour Challenge. It was quite challenging to use these colours but when I did see them I just thought of Halloween.

I used the It’s a Science stamp set which I thought lended its self quite well to halloween. I coloured in the white herringbone ribbon with my old olive blends. Adding the exposed brick embossing folder in the background is awesome and goes so well with the theme.
