Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - Sketch Challenge

Welcome to August's Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are focusing on a sketch!

This is what I came up with!

I used the Prairie Grass Stamp Set and Memento Tuxedo Black ink for the reeds and sentiment. The card base is Basic Black and the scene and sentiment are on Basic White. I cut the arch out of Country Woods 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper using the Everyday Arches Dies. The frame is also from the same DSP. I used Blending Brushes on the scene with Crushed Curry, Peach Pie and Balmy Blue inks, and a mask punched out of a Post-It Note with a circle punch.

The inside has a strip of Country Woods DSP and the sentiment stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black.

I finished the card with a Linen Thread bow and some Neutral Matte Dots.

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - Online Exclusives

Welcome to July's Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are focusing on products in our Online Exclusives!

I chose to use the beautiful Floral Charm Suite Collection from the Online Exclusives just released in July! From this suite, I used the Charming Day Stamp Set for the sentiment, the Floral Charm 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, and the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots.

I've used the mosaic strips technique on previous cards with various patterns of paper, but this is the first time I've used it with one pattern cut into various angled strips! Cardstock used was Thick Basic White, Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock.

The ribbon is the Petal Pink 3/8" Scalloped Ribbon which is currently on sale in our Last Chance Products!

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed in white from the Basics WOW! Embossing Powder. It was punched out with the Labeled With Love Punch.

I finished with 3 Petal Pink dots from the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots.

AWOW Blog Hop - Tic Tac Toe

Welcome to this month's Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop! We are celebrating our 5 year anniversary with a series of "team member focus" blog hops where we are CAS(e)ing a different team member each blog hop. Our team member focus this month is the fabulous Aurélie Fabre!

Our theme this month is Tic Tac Toe. We chose a line from the following and I chose texture, line and bold.

I was inspired by Aurélie Fabre's card here which has texture, lines and a bold black & white colour scheme with a touch of gold.

My card is much simpler but still has the texture from the brand new Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder, the lines from the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder on the Basic Black strip, and the black & white colour scheme with a touch of gold!

The flower and the "hello" were die cut using the Circle of Season Dies, available to Paper Pumpkin subscribers, in Gold Foil and Basic White Cardstock. I cut three layers of the "hello" and glued them together to give it some depth.

I dragged a Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad across the Basic White layer which had been embossed with the sunflowers.

I topped off the gold flower with a Neutral Matte Dot in black!

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - Sketch & New "In Colors"

Welcome to May's Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are focusing on the brand new 2025-2027 In Colors and a Sketch!

There are five new In Colors - Strawberry Slush (a returning colour), Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.

I used three In Colors in my card - Secret Sea, Cloud Cover and Timid Tiger. The card base is Secret Sea and I cut off 2" from the front which is used for the sentiment mat, adhered to a Timid Tiger layer.

I used the brand new Florals in Bloom Suite Collection. The DSP pieces are from the Florals in Bloom 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. The sentiments are from the Sweet Blooms Bundle.

The vertical strip of Secret Sea was embossed with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and covered with Wink of Stella for some glitter.

I added a strip of DSP on the inside and finished the card with the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls in Timid Tiger.

AWOW Blog Hop - Seasons

Our theme this month is "Seasons". I decided to focus on spring and chose this gorgeous card made by Cheryll for my inspiration!

Here is what I came up with!

I changed the colour scheme to use some of the new In Colors, including Secret Sea, Cloud Cover and Strawberry Slush. I added in Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green to keep the basic colour scheme of Cheryll's card.

The flowers and leaves on my card are all die-cuts from the Pretty Florals Dies. I added Strawberry Slush ink with a Sponge Dauber to the edge of the flowers and the centre die-cut pieces.

In keeping with the stripes on Cheryll's card, I used Cloud Cover striped paper from the Florals in Bloom 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. The card base and mat are Secret Sea.

The sentiment is from The Right Words Stamp Set and is stamped in Secret Sea. I finished with Two-Tone Sparkle Gems which have the light blue/purple colours to go with the card.

Thank you, Cheryll, for the beautiful inspiration!
