  • August Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #57

    Welcome to our August Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #57. 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 month’s blog hop is a colour challenge. The colours are Moody Mauve, Pecan Pie & Lost Lagoon. Originally when I heard what the colours were I wasn’t keen on doing the hop but then once I thought some more I loved them together. I chose to use the Sending Smiles Stamp set and coordinating dies. And I have to say they are divine and the colours are divine too. All the products I have used are listed below and you can purchase them 24/7 if you are in Australia and have them shipped directly to your door!

  • Sweetest Cherries

    Sweetest Cherries stamp set by Stampin' Up! using Real Red, Granny apple green, Early Espresso & Basic White

    A couple of months ago I went away with a few members of my team. We had a fabulous time crafting and chatting. If you’d like to enjoy some time away to craft, chat and catch up with other like minded people, then consider joining my team. We have a fabulous time and laugh so much. It is just an amazing group and would love to have you join us.

    While we were away I got to creating some upcoming classes and used the Sweetest Cherries stamp set.

    The Sweetest Cherries stamp set is so cute but it wasn’t a set that I was drawn to straight away. But now that I have it I love it! I have also shown you all how to re-create these cards on my Facebook live and have uploaded to youtube a well.

    You can check out the really quick version below and I also link to my longer more detailed video in the details section of the video.

  • July Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #56

    Welcome to our July Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #56. 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 month’s blog hop is a layout challenge. I was running out of time to get creating but I was able to carve out a bit of time on Wednesday and have created these two cards. The first card is using a circle as the image displays but the second card I changed up the shape. I am loving these papers. They are the “Hello, Irresistible” designer series papers that are available on the Online Exclusives collection. Pairing the papers with the Timeless Charm stamp set and I think you have a great match.

  • Fresh as a Daisy

    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.

  • June Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #55

    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.

    Crafting with You Bundle and a colour challanege

    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.
