Last week I shared the Fresh as a Daisy Suite of products. Initially the papers didn’t really appeal to me but after playing with them a couple of weeks ago I now love them.
I do feel that they need to be cut down but once you do they are just gorgeous.
On my Facebook Live last week I created these amazing cards and I have added a link to my youtube video below. This is my shorter video but there is also my longer video which you can see as I create the cards with some more details.
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.
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.
The Artfully Layered Bundle jumped out at me as soon as I saw it. I love the greenery in the paper and the dies are just to die for, pardon the pun. This is also my first class for the year which will be held on Thursday 17th February at 10am. You can email me for more details or click on this link.
The Designer Series Paper is so lovely that it does a lot of the work for you when you’re creating your projects. This suite would also go well with the Paradise Palms Bundle
Artfully Layered Bundle Cards
Each Friday I have been doing a facebook friday live and on the 31st December I am showcasing these cards, however I did create some quicker cards on the live. I also upload the video to youtube. I have been enjoying the facebook lives and it has helped me with my creativity. Which version of the cards would you like to re-create? I show these cards above at about the 6 minute mark on the video if you wish to skip ahead.
My youngest daughter Hannah turns 12 in Lockdown today. We live in Sydney Australia and we have been in lockdown since the end of June and we are now at week 11 and there looks like there will be another 8 weeks at least.
But as Hannah turns 12 and we are in lockdown I wanted to celebrate her as much as we can at this time. So I made her this card as she is a huge fan of Harry Potter. She has read all the books and her favourite house is Hufflepuff which is why the card is the colours that they are. The majority of her gifts are Harry Potter related so I hope she is going to be super excited with them.
I used the Suit & Tie dies and the Playful Alphabet dies from Stampin’ Up! And then used the Biggest Wish stamp set for the sentiment inside. I did make a smudge on the collar but hopefully it just adds to the look of the card and highschool 🙂
I always love a One Sheet Wonder and so tried out this one from Kelly Kent and wanted to use some of the papers from the Flowers For Every Season DSP from the current Annual Catalogue. Here are the cards that I came up with.
I paired the Flowers For Every Season DSP with Poppy Parade, Just Jade & Mint Macaron. These papers I found hard to use but I am loving how these cards came out.
If you’d like to see more of the One Sheet Wonder cards that I have made you can see some here. Tropical Oasis, Using up DSP and I created my own DSP in this post. I would love to see some of your creations using a One sheet wonder template.
