March Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #64

Posted on March 14, 2024 by sharon

Welcome to our March Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #64. You may have joined me from Nikki’s page 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 months challenge is a layout challenge. Layout challenges can take some hard work out of the equation for us but it also adds to the challenge with working out what colours and what stamp set I want to use.

With the new catalogue coming up soon I chose to play with the Simply Zinnia stamp set that was just released with the Online Exclusives. I am liking how I can change up the layouts and you get a different look to the cards.

My take on the Layout Challenge

I created a quick video to show you how I created the cards.

January Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #62

Posted on January 14, 2024 by sharon

Welcome to our January Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #62. 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 months challenge is a Colour Challenge. The colours this month have been a bit of a challenge with Pretty Peacock, Crushed Curry & Berry Burst.

The Notes of Nature stamp set is what I decided to use for this months colour challenge. I felt is was quite eclectic enough to utilise the colours beautifully. Starting with Crushed Curry with the largest stamp and then working down the stamp size and just trying to choose the right colour for each stamp. The leaves in Pretty Peacock, the flowers in Berry Burst. I just stamped randomly till I had the images the way I wanted them to be.

Layering the basic white stamped image onto a piece of Crushed Curry and then onto a Berry Burst card base was perfect. And of course I needed to bring in some Pretty Peacock card stock and used it as a strip along the front and stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock as well to finish it all off. This card is very much a #simplestamping card because all I have used is stamps ink and paper and I love it!

What do you think of my card?

Horse & Sleigh Bundle

Posted on November 10, 2023 by sharon

I am sharing the One Horse Open Sleigh suite of products which can be found online at my store in the Online Exclusives.

It took a bit for me to warm up to this suite. Do you ever have products that don’t initially grab you but then once you see someone using the products you then have to buy them? Well that is this suite for me.

These cards were designed by Ronda Wade. I have changed up the sizing to fit our card stock. The designs are just gorgeous so of course I had to create them.

I created these on my Friday Facebook live and so here is my quick video that you can watch and if you’d like to some more details and instructions you can watch my longer video.

Stars at Night Bundle

Posted on November 7, 2023 by sharon

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing with you the Stars at Night Bundle from Stampin’ Up! In my projects I only used two colours, Lost Lagoon & Moody Mauve. These colours are gorgeous. How could you go past either of them?

Stars at Night Bundle is one of those sets that you just have to have in your collection of crafts supplies.

This bundle is absolutely stunning! Within the bundle is a hybrid Embossing folder which includes the dies as well. With a hybrid you can emboss and cut at the same time. However I have just used the embossing folder as it is gorgeous as you’ll see in my video below. This is my short video but you can also check out my longer video with all the instructions on my youtube channel.

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.

On the Farm Bundle paired with the Day at the Farm DSP

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.
