Team Blog Hop # 35

 

Hello and welcome.

It's been a while since I have had a chance to do any crafting so I am super excited to be joining this months team blog hop.

For October we have a Colour Challenge and if you may have arrived here from Elizabeth's blog.

I have used Artistically Inked Stamps for the images on my cards and the co-ordinating Artistic Dies.

The Many Messages Stamp set and Messages Die provides lots of different sentiments and styles, so I could pick the best one for the card.  The sentiments were stamped in Calypso Coral. 

As I was in a crafting moment and had some spare time I created 4 cards with this colour combo.

All the card bases are  Calypso Coral.

Card 1

Added some DSP from the Tidings of Christmas DSP pack which has Sahara Sand & Whisper White and some bling.  

Card 2 

I stamped the swirly background image in Calyso Coral randomly on the card base and then added a strip of the images, sentiment and bling.

Card 3 

The flowers and leaves have been die cut once stamped on Whisper White.
I rounded the corners on the Whisper White base, added some dimensionals and linen thread under the sentiment, plus of course a little bling.

Card 4

I stamped the flowers, leaves and spots on Whisper White and a die cut Calypso Coral card stock border using the Basic Borders Dies.  

Apologies the thread is retired but I had not realised until the card was finished.

Team Blog Hop # 32

 Hello and welcome,

You maybe joining my blog post from Marelle's blog as our team is having our monthly blog hop.

For this month we have a sketch

I have created two cards from the sketch using the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp and Sunflower dies.

The sunflowers are stamped in Soft Suede ink on a piece of the Expressions in Ink
Designer Series Paper.

The centre of the flowers has been die cut from Gold Foil Sheets using the centre die that co-ordinates with the stamp set.

The paper that I stamped on has such different levels of colour and created such different looks for each of the Sunflowers.

The birthday card

and Thank You card

Both sentiments are from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and have been stamped in Soft Suede ink and then cut to size.

The paper behind the sentiments is also from the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper and there are cut to different lengths for each card.

The little bling added are Champagne Rhinestones. 

The base card stock is Pale Papaya and then a layer of Basic White.

Team Blog Hop # 24

 Hello and welcome to our team blog hop for November.

This month we have a sketch that the team is working with.

Here is what the sketch looks like:

I have created a Christmas card with this sketch:

I have used the very cute SU stamp set "Have a Hoot" and coloured the owls in with SU Blends.

I have used Snowflake Splendor DSP for some layers on the card and the sentiment is from the same stamp set. The sentiment is stamped in Coastal Cabana ink.

Here is another look at the image:

They are the cutes little owls.

It was easy to create a few cards at the one time as I had all the pieces cut up.

Here is another look at the card using a different piece of the DSP.

The DSP has a sort of splatted effect to it and created a great back ground layer and I have added lots of  Adhesive Backed Snowflakes.

The image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Whisper White cardstock.

So who is on our blog hop this month:

Southern Girls Goodbye

Today the final post at Southern Girls Challenge 

It is a sad time that this challenge is closing but I am so blessed to have been part of the design team and have made some wonderful friends.

It is so amazing to think that you can create friendships with people all over the world and all from crafting.

My card has been created celebrating these wonderful friendships.

A fairly simple card with an image that just captures a time when you are just reflecting on a moment in time and great memories.

Thank you all very much for the memories and Lou and Tracey for asking me to be part of this fantastic design team.

Here is a close up of the image and the sentiment.

 

The stamp set used is a Stampin' Up set called Beautiful Moments and the image has been coloured using Stampin' Up Blends.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting.
