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.

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.

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.

May Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #42

Posted on May 14, 2022 by sharon

Welcome to our May Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #42. You may have joined me from Marelle’s Blog or are you starting right here? Either way, welcome. There are 7 of us hopping along this month so you’re in for a great hop.

This months Blog Hop is a colour challenge and this challenge really got me. The new In Colors are absolutely stunning and I love love love them. However, mixing one of the colours with Petal Pink & Soft Sea Foam really was a challenge for me. I chose to use the Bottled Happiness stamp set for my card, and I love this stamp set and has a lot of versatility.

Using the Tea Boutique cards and envelopes as my card base has helped to make my creativity easier on this challenge. Adding in some Gray Granite card as a frame under the stamped image to lift the layer. I used the two greens as the bottle and really happy with how it turned out adding the parakeet party as the shading on the bottle.

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?

February Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #39

Posted on February 14, 2022 by sharon

Welcome to our February Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #39. Have you joined me from Niki’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 real treat.

This months Blog Hop is a layout challenge. This challenge was a lovely one to participate in. I was able to create two cards this month and I rotated one of the cards.

I chose to use the tulip paper and coordinating stamp set from the January to June Mini Catalogue. The cards aren’t square but I hope that I have fulfilled the challenge. Layering the DSP onto a colour other that white really brings out the colours in the Designer Series Paper. Isn’t the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper just beautiful? Leaving the DSP to shine was a great choice with just a small amount of stamping.
