Welcome to this month's Stamp 'N Hop The theme this month is Saying Goodbye to our 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue. One of my favourite products that was in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue was the Country Floral 3D embossing folder. It was first introduced as a Sale-a-bration product which then went into the Annual Catalogue. The reason why it is a favourite is that you can dry emboss with it and either leave it as it is or rub White Craft Ink over it to highlight the raised areas. Card 1 I made...
Ink & Share April 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Ink & Share Blog Hop This month's theme is New Beginnings or Spring I was struggling with this month's theme and whilst looking through some photographs I found three from when my husband changed our back garden from grass and flowerbeds to paving and raised flower beds. I remember taking these photographs just after he had started extending the decking and of course our two dogs just had to give him a paw or two. First I mounted the photographs onto Basic Black...
Stamptastic Friends April 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this Month's Blog Hop with Stamptastic Friends. Our theme this month is a Colour Challenge and for a change we could choose our own three colours. As everyone knows my favourite all time Stampin' Up! colour is Melon Mambo but as I had just bought the Last a Lifetime bundle and my daughter is getting married, I thought I would try out a couple of different colour ways. I had already made a suitable card using an old stamp set Floral Phrases, Blushing Bride and Grey Granite. So why...
Stampin Dreams April 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Stampin Dreams Blog Hop. The theme this month is Birthdays I decided to do some No Stampin Cards which would make a useful kit to send out to customers and friends so that they could have a go themselves. I started by cutting a 6x6" piece of Best Dressed Designer Series Paper into three pieces before mounting them on to three mat layers and a card base. Then I die cut Happy Birthday using the Word Wishes dies and stuck two together to give a shadow effect. These were...
Scrapbooking Global April 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop. I love the theme this month as it means I can continue scrapbooking my old family photographs and of course add some family history notes to it later. It took me a little while to choose which photographs I could use. Then I had to choose the Designer Series Paper and layout to use. I did cheat and look at the layouts in the Scrapbooking Global Facebook Group albums and as often happens came up with a totally different layout to do. I had...
Kre8tors April 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to April's Kre8tors Blog Hop The theme this month is Spring. As I have recently been making a few cards using flowers I decided to go for an old favourite of mine and use the Fable Friends stamp set. I find that I tend to always use the rabbit stamp from this set so this was the ideal chance to use the other stamp sets in the set. I started by cutting three 10 x 10 cm card bases out of Night of Navy and mat layers out of Crumb Cake and Whisper White. Next I stamped the images using...
Colour Combo April 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Colour Combo Blog Hop. For my project this month I decided to use a technique that was the idea of Bruno Bertucci. It is called the Scrappy Strip Technique and is an ideal way of making cards from scraps. I decided to use the technique on 10cm x 10cm cards as I had already made some A6 birthday cards using this technique and wanted some smaller Thank you cards. Then I decided to make another card but this time cutting the mat layer into strips. I hope my two cards have...
Stamp ‘N Hop April 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Stamp 'N Hop Blog Hop. The theme this month is CASE from pInterest. Like many crafters I use pInterest to find ideas for cards, scrapbook layout and other ideas around the home and garden. When I saw this month's theme I though Oh good I can find something to CASE. Then when it came to it I was undecided what card I would CASE as there were so many to choose. The card I decided to CASE was a card by Patti Dolan of P. S. Papercrafts.com which had a link to her website...
Ink & Share March 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Blog Hop Welcome to this month's Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop This month's theme is to incorporate RIBBON into a layout. This year I have decided that I want to scrapbook all my old family photographs rather than keeping them away in a box. For this project I want to keep it simple but try to show off the photographs as most are either black and white, sepia or copies of originals. As this month's theme is to use ribbon I immediately thought of my nanna's wedding...
Stampin Dreams March 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Blog Hop The theme this month is Easter When I think of Easter I think of fluffy bunnies and my favourite bunny is Peter Rabbit. So one of my go to stamp sets for Easter is Fable Friends. For my cards this month I made a 10 cm x 10 cm card base. I then stamped four bunny stamps and coloured them in using watercolour pencils and a blender pen. I then fussy cut them out. Next I chose the card stock for the mat layers and stick these to the card base. I needed to then...
