July Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #56

Posted on July 14, 2023 by sharon

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

Posted on June 30, 2023 by sharon

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.

Crafting with You

Posted on June 17, 2023 by sharon

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.

June Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #55

Posted on June 14, 2023 by sharon

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.

Inked Botanicals

Posted on June 12, 2023 by sharon

I am loving the Inked Botanicals Bundle & Designer Series Paper and wanted to use it in my Facebook Live a few weeks ago.

This suite is a fabulous set of products and you will just love to have in your stash of craft supplies. I wanted to show off the Designer Series Paper because I just love this paper and the colours that are used.

Here is my quick video for my Inked Botanicals Suite

Layering Leaves

Posted on June 10, 2023 by sharon

I am loving the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper and wanted to use it again during my Facebook Live last week and paired with the Layering Leaves Stamp Set.

I have used the 4 Square Technique for 4 of the cards and then paired the stamp set with the Inked Botanicals DSP. Layering Leaves and the Inked Botanicals paper pair so very well together.

This is my long video but I also have a short video.

May Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #54

Posted on May 14, 2023 by sharon

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.

My Cards

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.
