December Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #49

Posted on December 14, 2022 by sharon

Welcome to our December Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #49. You may have joined me from Nikki’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 Colour Challenge. I found this colour combination fairly quick and easy to use. With Christmas around the corner I knew I needed to create some quick and simple gift card holders and I wanted the card to be fairly simple. I saw one card I had made recently and decided to use the same stamps and layout.

I created a video while I made the card as well so you can see exactly what I did.

November Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #48

Posted on November 14, 2022 by sharon

Welcome to our November Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #48. You may have joined me from Nikki’s Blog or you may be starting right here. Either way, welcome to our blog hop for this month.

This months Blog Hop is a Layout Challenge. I started creating a card for this challenge but really didn’t like what I came up with so I went back to the drawing board and created another card which I love.

Starting with the Sun Prints DSP and then choosing the coordinating Nature’s Prints Stamp Set, I was ready to create.

Taking a step away from Christmas and creating this card was a lovely change for me at this time of the year.

October Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #47

Posted on October 14, 2022 by sharon

Welcome to our October Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #47. You may have joined me from Melissa’s Blog or you may be starting right here. Either way, welcome to our blog hop for this month.

This months Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. I enjoyed this challenge. I designed a card on my facebook live and then recreated the card using these colours. The 3 colours lends themselves very well to a Christmas card. I used the Trees for Sale Stamp set.

The Trees for Sale stamp set is a fabulous stamp set for Christmas and you really can create so many designs with this set. If it isn’t already on your wishlist or on your shelf then it really should be.

Its a great time to get ready to send out all your christmas cards as November is getting ever closer.

August Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #45

Posted on August 14, 2022 by sharon

Welcome to our August Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #45. You may have joined me from Meighans’ Blog or you may be starting right here. Either way, welcome to our blog hop.

This months Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. The Colours we’re using this month is Real Red, Tahitian Tide and Crushed Curry. When I first saw these colours I was thinking, sure this will be easy. Then when I started playing I had a couple of second thoughts but when I got into the swing of creating 4 cards came out in very quick succession.

I chose to use the Kindest Gnomes Stamp set and this made my creating quite simple. I went to one of my favourite techniques, Masking and decided to use Stampin’ Up!’s masking paper. This stuff is brilliant! Using blending brushes I created 2 cards with the masking technique and then another card with just the brushes onto Basic White card. My last card I chose to use strips of each colour as a background and added in some Basic Gray as my neutral. I did cheat a little and added in Smoky Slate as a second neutral.

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?

April Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #41

Posted on April 14, 2022 by sharon

Welcome to our April Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #41. You may have joined me from Marelle’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 great hop.

This months Blog Hop is a layout challenge and these challenges can be fairly quick to whip up as you just have to decide what stamp set and colours to choose. The retiring list is out and so I have chosen to use the Smooth Sailing dies which is discounted to $33.60 and coordinating stamp set Sailing Home which is now no longer available to purchase. I also used the New Horizons 6×6 paper stack from the January-June Mini Catalogue.

I gave some texture to the “Rope” by adding some crumb cake ink, and I also did the same to the sentiment. The seaweed I used some Mossy Meadow ink to add some texture. Don’t forget to keep hopping along on the other blogs by clicking the Next blog below or any of the links.

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?
