Welcome to this month's Blog Hop This month's theme is Masculine Following on from my Kre8tors Vlog last week I am continuing the theme by using the same designer series paper from Flowers for Every Season DSP to make my Father's Day cards. I decided to use a technique that Bruno Bertucci introduced and is a great way to make scraps of designer series paper go further by cutting them into strips. I decided to stick the scraps onto a Basic Black card layer before sticking onto a Whisper White...
Colour Combo June 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Colour Combo June Blog Hop The three colours we have been given this month are Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Soft Sea Foam. I decided to use the NEW Jar of Flowers stamp set to make two cards for this blog hop. I used Gray Granite ink pad to stamp two sets of flowers onto Whisper White card stock and stamped the jar using Soft Sea Foam ink pad. To colour in the flowers I used a mix of blends and ink from the matching ink pads. Next I punched out the jar using...
Stamp ‘N Hop June 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to the Stamp 'n Hop June Blog Hop. The theme this month is Hello to the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. I love this month as it is the month that Stampin' Up! release their new Annual Catalogue and it is packed with lovely stamp sets, punches, suites and of course the NEW 5 In Colors for 2020. For my project this month I thought I would do a scrapbook layout using some of the new designer series papers from the catalogue. A few years ago my husband and I went on holiday to Cornwall and...
Stamptastic Friends May 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this Month's Blog Hop with Stamptastic Friends. Our theme this month is Masculine Makes. Earlier this year my husband decided to go sea fishing with his dad and brother in May. So when I saw the theme for this month's blog hop I knew that I wanted to make a project using products from the Come Sail Away Suite. This week I was lucky to receive an email from my lovely friend Linda Gransby who owns Memories and Photos with a tutorial to make a cute accordion mini book. I chose the Come...
Colour Combo May 2020 Blog Hop
Welcome to this month's Colour Combo Blog Hop. The colours this month are Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Gorgeous Grape. When I saw these colours I immediately thought of flowers as most of the colours in my garden are purple. With this in mind I decided to use one of our retiring stamp sets this month and chose the Vibrant Vases stamp set. I started by stamping the vases and flower outlines using Crumb Cake ink pads. Next I stamped one set of flowers in Gorgeous Grape ink and the other in...
Stamp ‘N Hop May 2020 Blog Hop
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...
