On the Farm

Posted on February 20, 2023 by sharon

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.

Friendly Gnomes

Posted on February 13, 2023 by sharon

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.

Queen Bee

The Queen Bee Stamp set is one that didn’t really appeal to me when I first went through the Mini Catalogue but after seeing a class that Erica Cerwin created I knew I just had to have it! Below are the projects I created on my facebook live today and I also added in a cute fancy fold card.

In the video below is my very quick video that is only about 8 minutes or so. If you want to watch the full video you can watch that right here. This will give you an overview of how I have created the cards. But if you’d like to watch with some extra directions then you can check out the longer video that is also on my YouTube channel.

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.

Sunny Splash

Posted on August 12, 2022 by sharon

Today on my Facebook Live I was creating with the Sunny Splash stamp set by Stampin’ Up! This stamp set was not on my wishlist at all till about 2 weeks ago. I saw a number of projects that people had made and thought, yes it is a cute set, maybe I should add it to my order, so I did.

I received the stamp set just yesterday and I an say I love it. It is so cute and adds a bit of whimsy and who doesn’t love whimsy? The weather outside today is overcast and not so pleasant so what better set to use than one that is for summer?

I am loving this Sunny Splash Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!

The Sunny Splash stamp set by Stampin' Up! can be used in so many different ways. I love the bright colours I have used.

I did some quick searching for what others had created using this stamp set and I found a few that I was just drawn to. A couple of these cards were original designs by Songofmyheartstampers.com. Another of the cards was created by Nancy Stamps and the final card I took inspiration from Notes from Patience.
