Ink & Share Blog Hop - New

 

Welcome to this months Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop. 

The projects are designed by fellow Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world.I know that you're going to find some great inspiration from the wonderfully creative Stampin' Up! demonstrators as you follow along with us. 

You may have joined me from Cindy's blog or perhaps you are starting your journey here with me. I hope you like our creations and that they give you inspiration.

This months theme is " NEW " -  I chose to use this to showcase a suite from the new 2022-2023 as it was launched earlier this month.

For my layout I have chose to use papers from the Hues of Happiness suite along with co-ordinating dies - Blossoming Happiness Dies that not only cut out the stamped images from the stamp set but to the paper's as well!! Both flowers and leaves alike. 

Firstly I set about making my own background paper for the idea I had in mind to do this I grabbed one of my Stampin' Spritzer bottles and popped in a little alcohol, Wink Of Stella and Fresh Freesia reinker. I'm not sure if the photo's can really show this very well but the result is beautiful.

Also using one of the two edging dies in the Blossoming Happiness dies I created an edge along one of my matte layers for the photos to go on once they are printed. 

The Stampin' Up! supplies used to create this layout can be ordered via my Online store here.  Don't forget to use this month's hostess code which can be found in the side bar, to receive a little something from me if your order is under £150.

Ink & Share Blog Hop - Selfie or a picture of you

 

Welcome to this months Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop. 

The projects are designed by fellow Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world.I know that you're going to find some great inspiration from the wonderfully creative Stampin' Up! demonstrators as you follow along with us. 

You may have joined me from Kirstie's blog or perhaps you are starting your journey here with me. I hope you like our creations and that they give you inspiration.

This months theme is "Selfie or a picture of You" - I haven't had many photo's printed of myself recently so I've cheated and used one of me and my hubby.

For my layout I've scrap- lifted a layout from a fellow demonstrator - this layout uses the All Together Suite which is available until the 2nd May. Although the stamps, dies and papers discontinue the Stampin' Blends will be available in the new Annual Catalogue and I love that they are all varying skin tones. 

Using Blending Brushes  I've coloured some of the All Together 6x6 DSP to coordinate with the colours we were wearing. 

The Stampin' Up! supplies used to create this layout can be ordered via my Online store here.  Don't forget to use this month's hostess code which can be found in the side bar, to receive a little something from me if your order is under £150.

Ink & Share Blog Hop - Tic Tac Toe

 

Welcome to this months Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop. 

The projects are designed by fellow Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world.I know that you're going to find some great inspiration from the wonderfully creative Stampin' Up! demonstrators as you follow along with us. 

You may have joined me from Gez's blog or perhaps you are starting your journey here with me. I hope you like our creations and that they give you inspiration.

This month we were given a Tic Tac Toe board to play along with.

For my layout I chose to use the Expressions In Ink Suite from the Annual Catalogue - Artistically Inked stamp set, Artistically Dies (available as a bundle with a 10% discount), Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack and Expressions in Ink Specialty Paper. 

I chose to use one of the pieces of Expressions in Ink Specialty Paper for my base. Once I had paired this up with a photograph I triple mounted this on to Granny Apple, Gold Foil and Shaded Spruce card stock.

Since I had chosen green as a base colour and a spring photograph, I only had to add a tag to complete a Vertical line on  the board. But having added the tag using the Tailored Tag dies with some ribbon and some stamped flowers - in Polished Pink I could also claim the horizontal line. 

Under the stamped flowers from the Artistically Inked set I added some of the gold leave from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera pack along with some of the jewels dotted over the page... a diagonal line as well - I was amazed that I managed to complete 3 different lines in one layout without really thinking about it.

I love this photo of my daughter taken back in 2020 when she came home during the height of covid for 6 months and can't wait to see her again this summer before she and her family head off again to somewhere exotic.

The Stampin' Up! supplies used to create this layout can be ordered via my Online store here.  Don't forget to use this month's hostess code which can be found in the side bar, to receive a little something from me if your order is under £150.

Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop

  

Welcome to the first Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop of 2022.  

The projects are designed by fellow Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world.I know that you're going to find some great inspiration from the wonderfully creative Stampin' Up! demonstrators as you follow along with us. 

You may have joined me from Jo's blog or perhaps you are starting your journey here with me. I hope you like our creations and that they give you inspiration.

This month's theme we were given “Artistic License” which means anything goes as long as it’s current product in either of the current catalogues or from the Sale A Bration offerings. 

As soon as I saw the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Papers  in the Sale a Bration offerings, I knew I wanted to do some layouts with them.  This layout I have prepared for an upcoming retreat. 

I paired the papers up with the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle (P30/78) as I have photographs of my grandchildren gardening that I'm going pop on once I've got them printed.

                                                                            Firstly I coloured the daffodil's using the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends from one of the papers.                                                                                                                                                                                      After fussy cutting them out from the sheet before adhering it to the base card stock, which I had sponged lightly with Olive Olive one end and Balmy Blue the other. When I adhered them I used plenty of Stampin' Dimensionals to raise the top of the Daffodils.

The Stampin' Up! supplies used to create this layout can be ordered via my Online store here.  Don't forget to use this month's hostess code which can be found in the side bar, to receive a little something from me if your order is under £150. 

And remember its also SALE A BRATION, so for every £45 you spend you'll get to choose a FREE item,  the link to this years offerings can be found in the side bar too. So if you choose the Flowering Rain Boots bundle at £46.75 (also saving 10%) you'll  also qualify for these papers or another item for FREE!!

Ink Stamp Share - Pick A Suite

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share's Monthly Blog Hop .....this months theme

"Pick a Suite"

The projects are designed by fellow Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world.

You may have joined me from Dana's blog or perhaps you are starting your journey here with me. I hope you like our creations and that they give you inspiration.

I've chosen the Heart & Home Suite which can be found on pages 58- 61 of the New Seasonal Mini Catalogue.  This suite comprises of two stamps set bundles, Hive 3D embossing folder, Papers, Denim Ribbon, Memories & More cards, Cards & Envelopes, Dollies and Matte Dots.

For this first card I  used the Honeybee Home bundle with the Hive 3D embossing folder, Stampin' Blends and added one of the sentiments from the Blessings of Home set.  To finish this off I added some Pastel Pearls.

For the next card I  used the larger of the floral images from the Blessings of Home set  and sentiments from both sets.

Using on of the Ornate layers dies and cutting this in half I positioned this above and below the image. I also remembered to dress the inside of the card. 

I ended up making two of these but I'm not sure which colour I prefer, do you have a preference? I'd love to know. 

The Stampin' Up! supplies used to create these cards or any other projects on the hop, may be ordered via my Online store here.  Don't forget to use this month's hostess code which can be found in the side bar, to receive a little something from me if your order is under £150. 

And remember its also SALE A BRATION, so for every £45 you spend you'll get to choose a FREE item,  the link to this years offerings can be found in the side bar too. so for spending £90 you'll get the choice of 2 level 1 items or 1 level 2 items.  If you love the products then have you ever thought of signing up as a demonstrator?? ask me for more details
