2022 Crafty Collaborations July – December Mini Catalogue Blog Hop

Welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop to welcome in our New Mini Catalogue. I’m from Melbourne, Australia and I’m so glad that you have visited me today. I’ve done some mixing and matching for my creation today using products from our Mini and Annual Catalogue (which is just a couple of months in).

I’ve used the Splendid Day Designer Series Papers and Splendid Stems Dies with the fun bird from the Sweet Songbirds bundle.

I just love blending – aren’t out BlendingBrushes THE BEST? So …. I blended Pool Party and Granny Apple Green ink onto Basic White Cardstock and die cut it using the leaf dies. I used some inlays from the smaller leaf to embellish around the bird.

The nest was heat embossed in Copper and die cut with the semi-circle die. The elegance of the specialty Designer Series Paper makes this a cute baby card or a wedding card.

New at su Blog Hop – Forever After

Hi, Welcome to our New at SU Blog hop theme of Mums, Dads, Brides and Grads. I’ve used one of my favourite stamp sets, Forever Fern and it’s coordinating dies to create a wedding card.

New at Su Blog Hop Header

I started with a Smoky Slate piece of cardstock and using the Stamparatus I stamped each leaf image in Craft ink. Then I moved the Cardstock to the right and up a notch and restamped the image in Shaded Spruce. This creates a shadow type effect. It is a little bit time consuming in that you do need to clean your stamp in between each application but it’s worth it.

I then die cut some leaves from Rose Gold Metallic Paper and arranged them around the stamped images.

I selected a section of the sentiment which was heat embossed in silver and highlighted it by adding it to Black Cardstock.

The entire panel has been matted onto White Cardstock and then a Silver panel which is from the Blue Foils in the Waves of the Ocean Collection. I wasn’t sure how the Rose Gold would look against the Silver and was quite happy with the result of mixing metallics on this card.

aWow Blog Hop – Basic Essentials Challenge

Hi crafty friend, Thanks for joining me today for our trip Around the World on Wednesday. We are a group who love all things Stampin’ Up! and we hop on the 2nd Wednesday of each month with amazing organization by Angie Mckenzie. It’s our Basics Essentials Challenge and I can’t wait to check out what the essentials are for the rest of our team.

Awow Blog Hop, Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop Header

For this challenge, I’ve gone back to basics with stamping and created a set of 3 stepped up cards for the Casual crafter, Avid Crafter and Artfully Avid Crafter. I’ve also kept the products minimal making it basic in supplies required as well.

Measurements:

  • Basic Black – 21cm x 14.8cm (scored in half)
  • Basic White – 6cm x 11cm
  • Real Red – 6.4cm x 11.4cm
  • DSP – 14.2cm x 9.9cm

Casual

I’m creating a fun Valentine’s card as the Feb 14th is only 5 days away. I couldn’t resist the chocolates from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp because of course, that is a craft room basic!

SIP (stamps, ink and paper) are basics for creating any projects and I reckon on 99% of my projects I will add some Designer Series Paper. I LOVE Stampin’ Up! paper. DSP gives you great results with no effort. I also use my Paper Trimmer for cutting that beautiful DSP (straight!). On this card I’ve used the new release All Together Designer Series Paper. Being Black and White, it coordinates with anything really and you can colour it to suit your project.

Stamp your image outline on Basic White Cardstock in Early Espresso and fill-in image with Soft Suede stamped off. Two-step stamping is a quick basic way to add colour to your images.

If you’re a beginner crafter, I encourage you to give this card a try.

Avid

I stepped this card up a notch by adding a bit of colour to the background paper. I love colouring and find it therapeutic. Lots of my projects include some form of colouring – whether it be our Markers, Blends, Watercolouring.

Here, scattered hearts across the sheet were coloured in with the Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker. This just adds a pop to the background and brings out the ‘Chocolate’ in the sentiment. The chocolates were stamped and fussy cut and a cute gingham bow added. I think I add a ribbon to nearly every project I make!

Artfully Avid

I die cut the sentiment from Real Red cardstock 4 times and layered it together to add depth. I glued the 4 sentiments together because sometimes I do things on a whim! Use Adhesive Sheets to make this a much less fiddly task.

Of course the inside of the card – how fun is the sentiment. Great for Valentine’s or to just make someone happy.

Ink. Stamp. Share Monthly Blog Hop – Sweet Talk Suite

Hello and welcome to our first Ink. Stamp. Share Monthly Blog Hop for 2022. We are sharing projects featuring a suite from either of our catalogues. I’m showcasing products from the Sweet Talk Suite which is on Pages 8-10 of the Mini Catalogue. The paper and Gingham Embossing Folder are some of my favourite products in the suite.

Ink Stamp Share Blog Hop Header January 2022

In time for Valentine’s Day, I’ve got a cute and simple gift box to share with you. This is a simple standard box and you can present it with or without the lid.

Dimensions

  • Highland Heather Cardstock 23cm x 16.5cm
    Score on the long side at 5.5cm, 11cm 16.5cm and 22cm
    Score on the short side at 11cm
  • Blushing Bride Cardstock (lid) 9.5cm x 9.5cm
    Score on all 4 sides at 1.9cm

I added the beautiful Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper to decorate the box. One side has hearts in traditional reds and pinks and also pastel hearts and heart shaped lollipops which are so cute.

Some other sheets of the DSP have stripes and water colour washes which can be used for other occasions.

I embossed the White panel with the Gingham Embossing folder and added a watercolour wash in Blushing Bride, stamping a few Real Red dots to coordinate with my cute little red hearts.

I added a mini tag to the front of the box and decorated it so it was ready for gift-giving.

This box can also be used as a table favour for a place setting. Fill it with some chocolates for a sweet treat.

Next on our hop is Donna Lester. Please follow right through the hop for lots of suite inspiration!
