Hope Your Day Is Amazing As You! - Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

I am so excited to be part of the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop and very honoured to be in amongst some very talented stampers from around the world! If you are starting here or continuing to hop, hello and welcome to my blog. 

For our hop this month the theme is springtime florals and the perfect excuse to use the beautiful All that You Are stamps. 

I made this card for my lovely mum for Mothers day at the end of last month, the sentiment was perfect and I love this flower.

No apologies for the blatent repeated use of this stamp set! I love it.

The colours I have used are Calypso Coral and Old Olive. The flower is stamped in Memento Black and I have used the Blend pens to colour it in. The sentiment is stamped in Calypso Coral ink onto Whisper White and cut out using the Stitched Rectangle Framelits.

The card base is Thick Whisper White with a layer of Calypso Coral and Whisper White to stamp on. I added some Old Olive Ribbon to finish it off.

It was very easy to make the envelope match beautifully too. I stamped the flower again off the side of the envelope and coloured it in with the Blend Pens.  Tip  - Whilst colouring in the envelope tuck a piece of card inside to stop the marker bleeding through, and remove it when you are done.

I have some other projects featuring this stamps set. You can see them here, here and here. 

This stamp set is now on the Retiring List under Last Chance Products, so if you'd like it, order it today because it wont be around for long.

I cant wait to see what all the other people taking part in the hop have come up with for the Springtime Floral theme. There are some super talented people taking part so grab a cuppa and hop around for some fabulous inspiration.

Happy Birthday, All That You Are . Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Happy Birthday, All That You Are.

Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

I am so excited to be part of the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop and very honoured to be in amongst some very talented stampers from around the world! If you are starting here or continuing to hop, hello and welcome to my blog. 

For our second hop the theme is Birthdays and the perfect excuse to use the beautiful All that You Are stamps. I based my all day craft event that I ran earlier this month around this set and I just can't put it down.

This flower image is so beautiful and lends itself beautifully to all sorts of colouring mediums. 

I simply stamped and embossed it in White embossing powder onto Sahara Sand card. I then used my Lovely Lipstick ink pad and picked up the colour with a blender pen and coloured it in. I did the same for the leaves in Old Olive - very simple. Blender pens can certainly make your ink pads more versatile.

I added a layer of Whisper White behind the Sahara Sand layer before adhering to the Sahara Sand card base. The Happy Birthday sentiment is stamped in Lovely Lipstick onto a square of Whisper White and I added some of the Lovely Lipstick Ribbon to finish it off.

I stamped the same flower image in Memento Black off the side of the Whisper White layer inside before glueing into place and stamped the envelope to match. I always like to stamp my envelopes. It gives a nice finishing touch and is lovely to receive.

I have some other projects featuring this stamps set. You can see them here, and here.

I cant wait to see what all the other people taking part in the hop have come up with for this theme. There are some super talented people taking part so grab a cuppa and hop around for some fabulous inspiration.

Home Decor Calendar - All That You Are

Home Decor Calendar 

All That You Are

I have this sitting on my conservatory windowsill and it looks very pretty. It looks store bought - that's because it is. It came ready made with the months and numbers on the tags and I just added the stamping. I used one of my favourite stamp sets called All That You Are in Lovely Lipstick, Old Olive and then Crumb Cake to match the month tags. All available in my online shop.

And where do you purchase the calendar? Well it's very exclusive! I bought it in the Pound Shop !!! Seriously, I did. 

The inspiration for this came from another demonstrator. A very talented lady in my wider team  - Crafty Claudette.

I loved it and couldn't wait to have a go.

You could decorate as much or as little as you wish.

I really hope you like todays project. Here are the products I used with clickable links to my online shop.

All That You Are Card - Stained Glass Technique

All That You Are

Kylie's International Demonstrator Training Blog Hop

I am so excited to be part of Kylie Bertucci's February Blog Hop! We are an international group of demonstrators all working towards growing our business's and sharing ideas and inspiration along the way.  Thank you so much for joining us !

You may be starting here or have come from another blog. The list is at the end of the post do you can hop along from blog to blog getting lots of ideas and inspiration as you go.

I've been playing with the new All That You Are stamp set and I just love it. This was one of the cards I designed for my all day craft day yesterday.

I wanted to show them how by heat embossing the flower image in White Emboss Powder and colouring in on the reverse with the Stampin' Blends it's easy to create a beautiful image. A little like stained glass.  I added a few of the self adhesive sequins and attached the vellum to the Whisper White layer using glue dots strategically placed under the sequins and sentiment. The sentiment is stamped in Black Memento and cut out using the new Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I've just got mine and can't put them down!

I used Powder Pink as the card base and stamped inside in Powder Pink and Soft Sea Foam ink. I repeated the stamping on the envelope too.

Dimensions

Card Base - A4 Powder Pink, Scored at 10.5 cm and cut at 14.9 cm

Whisper White Layer 10 cm x 14.3 cm

Vellum 10 cm x 14.3 cm

Inside Whisper White Layer 10cm x 14.3 cm
