Team Blog Hop



Hello and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Team Blog Hop.

This month we are showcasing two new stamps sets received at the recent Stampin' Up! OnStage called "Amazing Life" and "Incredible Like You".  These stamp sets will be available in the new Seasonal Catalogue from the 3 January until 3 June 2019.

You will have just arrived here from Melissa's  blog.

I have used the Amazing Life stamp set and I just love the sentiment which reads 
"So Happy to have you in my Life"

I haven't used the new Mango Melody colour so with this in mind my card came to life.

Here is a look at my card:




I stamped the sentiment in the Mango Melody and then rolled the stamp again lightly with Melon Mambo ink.

The die used are also new in the catalogue Rectangle Stitched Framelit Dies - love it!

The cardstock Melon Mambo was embossed with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folder.

The corners were punched out using the Detailed Trio Punch.

Here is a close up of the sentiment:



There is small strip of Night of Navy (which unfortunately looks a little dark here) on the side which has been die cut using one of the dies from the Delicate Lace Edgelit collection.

A few rhinestones cause we all love bling.

Your next stop is Sharon Wilson's blog to see what Sharon has created.


Should you get lost along the way here is a list over the team's blogs:

PB Autumn Splendor


Hi everyone,

I was so lucky to be asked to create a card as a Guest Designer at the
Penny Black and More Challenges.

The theme for the challenge is Autumn Splendour and this theme can lend itself to so many fabulous ideas, from the colour, nature or even a combination of both.

I have used a floral image from the Penny Black Bouquets stamp set and stamped the image in
SU Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Cajan Craze inks on SU Very Vanilla cardstock to
create the back ground.

I then added another layer of the Cajan Craze cardstock, which has one site punched out to create a border.

Here is my card:



The sentiment is from the SU Painted Harvest stamp set and stamped in SU Old Olive.

I then added another image from the Penny Black Bouquets stamp set in the top corner of the sentiment cardstock.

Here is a close up of the sentiment.


Please visit the challenge if you get a chance, I am sure they Design Team would love to see your creations.

CC No Square


Hello, just a quick post to share with you my card for our new challenge at Creatalicious Challenges.

Our theme as always is Anything Goes with an Optional Twist - No Square or Rectangle
Our Sponsor is The Paper Shelter and they have wonderful digital images.  

I have used one of our sponsors images called Butterfly Whisperer and the image can be coloured but also comes with pre-coloured options so I have decided to showcase the pre-coloured image.

When the image was printed it was fussy cut along with the little butterfly and layered on cardstock.

Here is my card:


The base card shape was created using a Marianne Creatables Die LR0327.


I rounded the colours of some DSP and found the sweet words on another DSP in my draw.



The words read love, smile, dream, happy, create, life, laugh, today, pretty bliss, peace,
joy, bless and then it repeats itself. 

The pearls just added a little bit of embellishment.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
