Sketch Challenge - September Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop!

 

Welcome to our September Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop! I am hopping with talented demonstrators from all over the world! This month, we were inspired to create from this great sketch!

I decided to use the Regal Winter Suite Collection for my card, just using the gorgeous Regal Winter 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Regal Flora Stamp Set & Dies Bundle. I started with a Thick Basic White card base and added a layer of DSP in a Blackberry Bliss pattern.

The foliage was stamped in Whisper White Ink on Blackberry Bliss and Night of Navy Cardstock, and then cut with the Regal Flora Dies. Two squares were cut from the same cardstock and the Stylish Shapes Dies (largest squares). I added some DSP in a Night of Navy floral pattern to one square.

The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy on Basic White. I added a strip of Gold Foil and angled the ends. The navy square, foliage and sentiment were all popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals. I finished with gold embellishments from the Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems.

Enjoy Hopping!

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - Sweetest Star

 

Welcome to our September Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop!

This month our theme is to use new products from the September - December 2024 Mini Catalogue!

I chose to focus on the Sweetest Star Bundle which includes a stamp set and a punch!

I used Cherry Cobbler and Basic White Cardstock along with the Regal Distressed Patterns 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper, cut into squares.

The sentiment is heat embossed using WOW! Embossing Powder in white and a Heat Tool. I matted the punched star in Gold Foil, trimmed with Paper Snips.I wrapped the layer with Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon.

I added some Gold Foil snowflakes which were die cut using Snowy Wonder Dies and One of a Kind Dies. I topped the snowflakes with Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Pearls.

Be sure to hop around and see the gorgeous projects by my talented teammates!

AWOW Blog Hop - The Way We Were

 

Welcome to this month's Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop! Each month, a group of  demonstrators from all over the world create projects based on that month's theme. You will be able to hop around below to see all the wonderful inspiration!

This month's theme is The Way We Were. I chose to use the Tune In Bundle to create my retro card!

I tried to recreate the dark paneled walls that I remember in my younger days. I took a layer of Pecan Pie Cardstock and, using my Paper Trimmer, I scored lines 1" apart. Then I dragged a Pecan Pie Classic Ink Pad down the length of the layer a few times. This was adhered to a Pool Party card base. The TV and all the retro pieces were die cut from Basic Black, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Basic White and Silver Foil.

I added some Adhesive-Backed Dots for Days to finish the card front.

I adhered a piece of Window Sheet over the Happy Birthday piece to give the illusion of a TV screen. Stamping was done in Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party and Memento Tuxedo Black. I attached the TV with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I stamped the inside panel decor in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White.
