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.

Artfully Layered Bundle

Posted on February 11, 2022 by sharon

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.

Paradise Palms Bundle

Posted on January 22, 2022 by sharon

Paradise Palms Bundle is available now from the January to June Mini Catalogue while supplies last. When I was creating this card I couldn’t locate my dies so I fussy cut out the palm heads. I was casing the catalogue with this card but changed it slightly. Adding some ink behind the trees adds something extra to the card I think. What do you think? This is the second card in my series of cards and you can see the first card here.

January Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #38

Posted on January 14, 2022 by sharon

Welcome to our January Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #38. Have you joined me from Elizabeth’s Blog or are you starting right here? Either way, welcome.

This months Blog Hop is an “Anything Goes” challenge. Which, in and of itself, is fairly easy until you look at ALL the products we have and I need to narrow them all down and choose only a few products.

I decided to go with some more product from the January to June Mini Catalogue that has only been out for a bit over a week The “In the Moment” set is absolutely gorgeous and I was so happy to see it in my goodie bag for our Demonstrator OnStage event in November last year. Can you believe that this is the first time I’m inking it up? Neither can I but here you go. In the end I created a couple of frames on each of the cards. I didn’t like the layering effect with the image sitting on top of mat so I created the frame effect instead and cut out a window on the vanilla layer, then a smaller window on the pool party layer and then glued the image underneath. Creating the mat for the frame felt like it lifted the images more.

My Cards

Here are both cards using the In The Moment Stamp Set.

I’ve created a quick little video showing how I coloured in the images. I don’t show the full creative process as it changed from what I had intended to what you see above. Do you find that you change up your designs mid way through?

Welcome to the August Stampers Anonymous Team Blog Hop #21. You may have joined me from Kylie Page’s Blog or you have started here. This month’s Blog Hop is a colour challenge. We had to use at least 2 colours but I chose to use all of the 2020-2022 In Colors of Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness, Bumble Bee, Just Jade & Cinnamon Cider. I chose to showcase the Mountrain Air photopolymer stamp set.

Then I chose to pull out my Sponge Brayers for this card to create a sunset. The Lovely You stamp set has some lovey sentiments to choose from. I used a Misty Moonlight card base and then layered onto Basic Black.
