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.

Kre8tors Blog Hop January

Welcome to the first Kre8tors Blog Hop of 2022.

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 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.

This months theme was "Free for All"

As I had the Hello Ladybug stamp set on my desk for an upcoming class I thought I would play with that set. I had seen a 3D project over on you tube using the set so tried my hand at that.. I am so glad I did, thank you Kajta for inspiring me.

Using one of the papers from the Pansy Patch collection, I set out to make my box using the incolours - Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. I also stamped out a large leaf in Soft Succulent and cut this by hand along with the little ladybug. The dots are a lot easier than I imagined to line up.

When I created the 3D Ladybug using the coordinating punch (purchasing the 2 together saves you an extra 10%) I used Stampin' Up!s Black Dimensional's to adhere the wings to the body - being black they won't stand out ...they're great for darker projects.

The sentiment "thanks" comes from one of the Sale - A - Bration offerings for spending £90, using the Banners Pick a Punch I added one of the sentiments from the Hello Ladybug set. I can see myself making a few more of these for my friends.......

I hope you like the project I have shared with you using this month's theme - supplies used to create it can be ordered via my Online store here. Don't forget to use this months hostess code which can be found in the side bar, if your order is under £150 to receive a little something from me.

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.

Ink Stamp Share - Showcase Hop January

Welcome to the first Ink. Stamp. Share Showcase Blog Hop of 2022 .....the purpose of this hop is to show you what we have all been working on during the month.

The projects are 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.

I'm sharing with you a card I made for an upcoming class using the Happy Hedgehog Stamp set, this also comes with a coordinating punch so you can purchase this as a bundle saving you an extra 10%.

One reason I chose to purchase this set, was my mum liked hedgehogs so I bought it in her memory...

Firstly using my green Blending Brushes I inked the grass in Old Olive, before stamping the bushes in Memento ink and colouring them in Stampin' Blends - Flirty Flamingo, Soft Suede, and Old Olive.

I then stamped the "Fungi" and Hedgehog on a scrap of Basic white, again colouring them with Stampin' Blends - Crumb Cake and Poppy Parade before fussy cutting them out.

The other Hedgehog in the stamp set is the one that coordinates with the punch, which I will share with you after the class has taken place... I just wanted to show you a card without using the punch as I think this fellow is really cute too.

The Stampin' Up! supplies used to create this card 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 bundle at £30.50 and 2 packs of Stampin' Blends you'll qualify for a Free item..
