Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - Gratitude

 

Welcome to this month's blog hop! Our theme this month is Gratitude. I chose to use stamps from two different stamp sets, Autumn Expressions and Autumn to Remember.

I stamped the wheat from Autumn Expressions in Crumb Cake ink on Basic Beige Cardstock, and the sentiment in Copper Clay on Crumb Cake Cardstock. The leaf is from the Autumn to Remember Stamp Set (in our online Scrapbooking Brochure) and stamped in Cherry Cobbler on a piece of Cajun Craze DSP from the Splendid Autumn 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.

I matted the Basic Beige piece on Crumb Cake and wrapped some Linen Thread around it before adhering to a Cajun Craze card base.

The sentiment was die cut with a Spotlight on Nature die. I also die cut a circle out of Cajun Craze, using the circle in the Christmas Friends Dies, and adhered it behind the Crumb Cake circle.

I fussy cut the leaf and added some Wink of Stella Glitter to the leaf veins.

I adhered the circle and leaf with Stampin' Dimensionals and added some Faux Glass Dots. I stamped the leaf in Copper Clay on Basic Beige for the inside of the card.

AWOW Blog Hop - Sketch Challenge

 

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, the theme is a Sketch Challenge!

I chose to use the adorable Christmas Friends Bundle for my card! I also used Peaceful Evergreens for the trees stamped in the background. 

I started with a Thick Basic White card base and added a Pool Party layer which was embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. The other layers were created with Night of Navy Cardstock and the Subtles and Neutrals 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper in Pool Party and Night of Navy.

The cute skating moose was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic White and coloured with Stampin' Blends in Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Azure Afternoon, Pool Party and Smoky Slate.

The circle was die cut with the circle in the Christmas Friends Dies. The ice was created by ink dragging Pool Party and Balmy Blue Ink Pads across the bottom of the circle. I then masked off the land area with a Post-It Note and added Night of Navy Ink with a Blending Brush. I added a little Azure Afternoon with a Blending Brush for the sky and stamped the trees in Night of Navy. I added some Wink of Stella to the ice and the skate blades.

I wrapped Night of Navy from the Natural Tones Linen Thread around the middle layer and added a double bow with a Mini Glue Dot. The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy.

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.

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.
