Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop - April

Welcome to April's Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop's.

This month's theme is Spring/New beginings - I've chosen a picture of Ezana exploring and finding daisies in the grass

You may have joined me from Angelique's blog or perhaps you are starting you journey here with me, I hope that you like our creations and the they give you inspiration as you hop around the world.

For my layout I have used the Ornate Garden Speciality Designer Series Paper (an early realease from the upcoming annual catalogue) firstly I cut out a selection of flowers from two of the papers.

Using the Positive Thoughts stamp set, I then stamped some images out before cutting them out using the coordinating dies. These where avaliable to purchase during sale a bration, but the really good news is that they will be returning in the 2020-2021 annual catalog along with some other lovely goodies.

I then arranged them coming in from the right hand side in a spray raising a some of them up using Stampin' Dimensionals.

All that's left for me to do in the bottom left hand corner is to add some journaling. I can't wait to have Nana cuddles again with this cheeky chappy I can't beleive he'll be 1 in a couple of weeks.

I hope you liked the scrapbook page I've shared with you - supplies used to created this, can be ordered via my Online store here and don't forget to use this months Hostess code which can be found in the side bar.

Today I'm sharing with you a card that I've made for one of my customers who is at the moment self isolating for the 12 weeks and has no family, I've been ringing her every week but thought a card may give her a little pick me up too.

For my card I have used the products from the new Ornate Garden Suite that is avaliable to purchase before the release of this years Annual Catalogue.

Having stamped and coloured the large floral image from the Ornate Style stamp set with my Stampin' Blends. Knowing that I wanted to pop this in the frame of one of the Ornate Layer dies I looked to see if one of the Stitched Rectangle dies fitted it.......and yes it did!!

Ink Stamp Share Special Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Special Blog Hop..... the theme for this Special Hop is

"ANYTHING GOES"

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

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

ORNATE GARDEN SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

For my card I have paired up products from the Ornate Suite (which is an early release from the upcoming 2020-2021 Annual catalogue) and Butterfly Gala stamp set.

Aren't these papers delicous????

I can't wait to order some more!! and the sentiment is from the Ornate Thanks stamp set. The Gilded Gems and wink of stella on the butterflies just finishes it off to me.

I've been rushed off my feet at work, especially as I changed departments within the NHS as the pandemic took hold in the UK. So this hop has given me something different to focus on I did hope to have prepared a couple of projects with the new Ornate Suite, but time has just runaway from me since signing up but last minute I managed to make at least one card, I do hope that you like it.

All supplies used to create this card 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.
