Today I am thrilled to be taking part in the blog hop again, as you can see we have had a little change of identity but everything else will be the same, talented paper-crafters and wonderful ideas .
You will have either arrived from Laura Mackie’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is a Tic Tac Toe Challenge! I have to admit I needed an explanation on this one, but once I understood I was really excited!
We are less than a week from Halloween and time for a seasonal card! I made this particular card at a meeting held by my Stampin’ UP! Mum and it was designed by one of my Stampin’ Sister’s Tricia. That is what is so fabulous about being a Stampin’ UP! demonstrator – we meet and share in craft that we love.
The card showcases the lovely products in the Toil and Trouble Suite. The stamp set we used is Cauldron Bubble and it has a coordinating die set called Cauldron Framelit Dies, (buy as a bundle and save 10%) which we used to cut the little kitty kat from the Black Foil Sheets – all available in the 2018 Holiday Catalog (contact me if you would like a copy!)
It kind of slipped passed me that I had now made over 700 posts on my blog! But much more importantly I have hit 500+ followers – I am so thrilled that you would all choose to spend some time with me!
Last weekend I hosted my annual FALL STAMPIN GETAWAY – I had the chance to spend the whole day sharing papercrafting with 20+ crafters. One of the projects we made was a memory book designed in collaboration with my friend Elly from the UK – who came over to help prepare for and run the day.
I know there is still some time before the Christmas holidays, but that time flies by so fast ~ who else can’t believe it is mid-October already?
So a little planning ahead is in order and today’s card is one I really love, using one of my new favorite colors, Soft Sea Foam paired with Mossy Meadow ~ not traditional Christmas colors I hear you say, but I do like to use contemporary ones.
Although I used a the greeting from the Star of Light stamp set the other features of the card are from the Sprig Punch and embossing with the Blizzard Thinlets Die.,,,, yep – embossing with a die – who knew you could do that?
Time to share a technique ~ Black Ice. It creates a great focal point to a card with a really unusual finish. As this is an embossing technique it also gave me a chance to pull out my Heat Gun which has been sadly neglected for a while 🙂
Looking at the color combination I think this would make for a great card for the guys in our lives and the second sample with a little flower and bow would be great for a feminine card.
Welcome to the 3rd in Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop, I am delighted to be taking part again. You will have noticed a change to our ‘livery’ but we are the same group of international demonstrators sharing our ideas with you.
You will have either arrived from Jo Blackman’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is FALL ~ we are just about to start fall here in North Texas, the weather is so unpredictable that it could last until next spring or we could get a a viscous winter with ice storms.
Once again I have chosen to use a 12 x 12 page – mainly because Stampin’ UP! has 12 x 12 card stock in all its colors which gives me a fantastic choice but also because they have the 12 x 12 Page Protectors and Albums.
It is a while since I spoke about Paper Pumpkin ~ Stampin’ UP!’s monthly subscription ~ from Monday 8th thru Wednesday 10th October they are offering a FLASH SALE to all new subscribers, where you can get October’s kit for just $5!!!!! Read on……………. Continue reading
I am about to celebrate my 8th anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and today I am sharing my 150th video. It has taken me a while to get to this point as I always try to make sure that I share something that is meaningful and helpful rather than just for the sake of posting a video.
Today I am sharing my craft room, how I have set it up and some ideas for storage.
I have become addicted to cards with a Z fold of some kind, this must be the 8th or 9th one I have created in the last couple of months! This one is in landscape format and I used the Pop of Petals Stamp Set to create my own Designer Series Paper.
I really love the clean lines and fresh colors of this card, but it would work in just about any color combination you can think of – why not give it a go and create your own DSP!
