This weekend I am away with my Team and so I wanted to create some name tags with the Crafting with You bundle. I saw this original idea by Liz Shannon from the UK for her team. I loved the idea so much that I just had to create them for my team.

Welcome to our June Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #55. You may have joined me from Melissa’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 past weekend we have had a long weekend and so I have had the opportunity to clean up my craft desk and get some creating done.
This months blog hop is a colour challenge. We were given two colours and could then choose our third colour to create with. The two colours are Flirty Flamingo & Starry Sky. I then chose Lemon Lolly to be my third colour.
I wanted to create with the “Crafting with You” bundle and I loved playing with this bundle. Stampin’ Up! have created such a great set for us crafters. The trimmer die is just so lovely but I chose not to use it on this card.
From here you go back to the beginning of the blog hop to Nikki’s Blog. You can click on her name or on the Next blog button below.

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.
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.

Today’s live is utilising the Something Fancy Bundle along with the Greatest Journey Designer Series Papers. This is originally designed By Ronda Wade but I just love these projects that she has made using these products.
The video is below – this is my shorter video but you can also check out my longer video with more details here.
Today we are “On the Farm” 🙂 On my Facebook live on Friday I chose to play with the On the Farm Bundle and coordinating papers Day at the Farm which you can earn for Free but only till the end of February during Sale-a-bration.
This is a great bundle that you can use to build up a scene on your card. I chose to create 6 cards, 3 simple cards showing off the Designer Series Paper and 3 stepped up cards. Again using the DSP with a touch of stamping. I had a couple of technical issues on my Facebook live but maybe it was more a PEBTAC error – The problem exists between table and chair – that is ME 🙂
I had fun creating all these cards though and I hope you enjoy watching me create the cards.
You can find the video from Friday below. There is a short/quick video that I created at the same time, but I did move the camera slightly so half way through I am on an angle. All the products I have used are in the list at the bottom of this post. It should just be a quick click on the picture and it should take you straight to my store.
Have a great day and I’ll see you next time.

Welcome to our February Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #51. You may have joined me from Kylie’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 Blog Hop is a TicTacToe Challenge. The idea is that you choose a row whether it is horizontal, vertical or diagonal and you create a card with those three elements. The elements that I chose were Ribbon, Sparkle & Dies – straight down the left side of the table.
Only two weeks left till Sale-a-bration ends. And let me tell you how amazing the deal is if you join Stampin’ Up! and purchase the starter kit! If you choose the mini stampin cut & emboss machine, then you’re saving more than 50% on the products!

The Friendly Gnomes stamp set coordinate with the Gnomes Dies from the Holiday Mini Catalogue and you can still purchase the dies if you haven’t already. The dies were originally bundled with the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and you can see what I created with these last year at this post.
This bundle is so super cute and I love all the cards that we made. The original designs of 5 of the cards are by Ronda Wade, however I did change up the sizing for some of the cards to utilise our A4 card stock size. The last card is my design and I’m really happy with how it turned out.
I chose to create a fancy fold with a card inside a card. It is something a bit different which is why I like it so much. What do you think? The Country Gingham Designer Series Paper 6×6″ paper stack works really well with this stamp set.
