Ink.Stamp.Share Blog Hop - Tic Tac Toe Challenge

Welcome to back to another Ink and Share Blog Hop Octobers blog hop which are projects designed by fellow Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world.

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 is a Tic Tac Toe Challenge - if your not sure how to play along with this the idea is you use three elements in any of the row's either horizontally, vertically or diagonally

Having had the new incolor for 2018-2020 on my work space for a scrapbook layout I was playing with for class I decided that I would like to make my card using them... I grabbed an uninked stamp set as well Abstract Impressions and started creating!!

Using the Layering Squares I created the first element of the Tic Tac Toe board. I needed to make a birthday card so that was the way my row went. The sentiment is from the Balloon Celebration stamp set.

For the first card I added a plain ended banner and on this second card I added a tail to it.

although I've used the same stamp sets and changed the pattern of the 6x6 Paperstack and the color of the ribbon Ican't quite make my mind up as to which one I prefer

I hope you've liked what I've shared with you - all supplies used to created these cards can be ordered via my Online store here.

Don't forget to leave me a comment below, before you continue hoping around to see everyone's creations Janey's next and in case the chain breaks I've posted a roll call below

Paper Crafting Blog Hop -

I hope you are enjoying our Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop featuring projects that are "Fall" themed

Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe are participating so we have a wide array of fun projects to share with you!

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

Whilst driving home from work I was admiring all the lovely colours I saw of the different trees and wondered how I could recreate them - I know I could have used the Baby Wipe technique with re inkers but I haven't got the colours I wanted then I remember an old technique using the Stampin' Write Markers and a Spritzer bottle.

So I grabbed an old favourite stamp set - Lovely as a Tree, Stampin' Write Markers, Spritz bottle and started creating.............

I'm not sure if you can see it in the photograph but I've added some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint to the edges of the distressed card base and the leaves on the tree image. Hubby walked in from work and said that really looks really nice ------ he doesn't often spontaneously comment on my cards was well chuffed.

Kre8tors Blog Hop - Autumn Color Challenge

Thanks for joining me again for October's Kre8tors Blog Hop. I know that you're going to find some great inspiration from the wonderfully creative Stampin' Up! demonstrators as you follow along with us.

This months we were set a colour challenge - using the photo as inspiration and to use a minimum of 3 of the 5 colours chosen - Granny Apple Green, Grey Granite, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red and Soft Suede.

You may have just visited 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.

I chose to use an old favorite stamp set that needed some TLC - Sheltering Tree

having stamped the tree trunk in Soft Suede ink on Very Vanilla card stock and die cutting it out using the Stitched Oval shape, I set about adding some autumn leaves.

To create the leaves on the tree's I used the baby wipe technique - using the Real Red and Pumpkin Pie Re-Inkers .

To complete the card I die cut 3 of the smaller maple leaves from the Seasonal Layers framelits.

As I had lots of ink still left on my baby wipe I decorated the insert .

I hope you like my card for this Theme - *supplies used to create this card can be ordered via my Online store here.

You may have just visited Anastasia's blog or perhaps you are starting your journey here with me. I hope you like our creations and that they give you plenty of inspiration for your Christmas Projects.

I'm sharing with you one of the projects that I made with my customers at my Christmas in July all day class.

We wore Christmas Jumpers and played Christmas music to get us in the spirit the only thing I ran out of time to do was bake some Mince Pies!!

We used the Christmas papers from the Annual Catalogue Under the Mistletoe to make a variety of packaging for Christmas Presents as well as cards using the co ordinating stamp set - Mistletoe Season

This one was fun as its an Origami box........... some of the ladies even went on to make smaller ones (they enjoyed it so much)

Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop - Autumn Theme

Welcome to October's
Ink and Share Scrapbook Blog Hop, the theme chosen for this month is Fall/Autumn.

I love the range of colours that you see whilst driving or walking in the countryside....at this time of year.

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

Having chosen my photograph and gathering items from the Nature's Poem suite and coordinating inks I started creating.

I decided I didn't want a clean looking page so I inked the edges until I was happy with the shading.

I then inked the edges on the Nature's Poem DSP with the same colours and then shaded it a little on the top as the paper was too "clean" looking for what I envisaged.

Behind this I made a border using the Delicate Lace Edglits with Cajun Craze card stock.

I then double mounted my photograph, before embellishing it with leaves both stamped using the Rooted in Nature stamp set and embossed using the Nature's Roots Framelits and the new Big Shot Embossing Mat.

And to go totally over board on my four legged friend Max I added some of the Leaves Trinkets.

I hope you like page - supplies used to create this layout can be ordered via my Online store here.

Don't forget to leave me a comment below, before you continue hoping on over to see what Jenna has created using this theme.

Colour Combo Blog Hop October

Welcome to October’s Colour Combo Blog Hop.

You may have just visited Tricia's blog or perhaps you are starting your journey here with me. I hope you like our creations and that they give you inspiration with this months colours.

having just received my latest Stampin' Up! order I thought I'd use the bundle that I bought - The Beautiful Blizzard bundle. Buying both the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set and Blizzard Thinlits Die together I saved 10% on my order as well as my demonstrator discount.*

Having first stamped the Blizzard in Petal Pink ink stamped off, before stamping some snow flakes in real red. I'm not sure if you can see but i added some swirls onto my banner.

I just love how the Blizzard Thinlits die can be used both to cut out snow flakes but what's left can also be used to make a card too.... NO waste a win win I think

I have yet to try the Blizzard Thinlit die with the New Big Shot Embossing Mats - so be sure to pass by to see my creation using this bundle with it next Friday.

I hope you like my creations - all supplies used to created this card can be ordered via my Online store here. Remember if you purchase any bundle you can save up to 10%
