Crazy Crafters Blog Hop September 2015 - Holiday Catalogue




It's that time again; Crazy Crafters Monthly Blog Hop, come join the fun and see our inspiration from our projects featuring items from the 2015 Holiday Catalogue.



There are so many fantastic items in the the Holiday Catalogue - where do I begin!


I fell in love with the Snow Place stamp set when I set eyes on it - so versatile, you get to pick and choose how you dress up your little snow buddies   with the Snow Friends Framelits dies and create unique characters - mix and match with all of their accessories!

Remember- if you purchase the Snow Place Stamp set and the Snow Friends Framelits as as a bundle you save 15%



First card of the rank here is my daughter's choice - she wanted to see the adorable penguin in action, except she couldn't choose how to dress them, so I ended up with 2 cards!



I've used Whipser White with Soft Sky cardstock and ink, I edged the card using my two-way glue pen then dipped in Dazzling Diamonds.


Smoky Slate and Cherry Cobbler used here for a different look.  I embossed the Whisper White with the new Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder - it is just divine, I added a little Dazzling Diamonds to the Santa hat too.

I couldn't stop here, I hadn't used the Snowmen!  Consultation with my daughter had the large snowman with buttons, ear muffs and a bow tie.  I was on a role and thought - why not try a step card?



I created the snow hills by cutting several ovals and then trimming them and overlaying on each other, each is edged with Dazzling Diamonds.  The trees are from the Peaceful Pines Bundle - they are first stamped with Old Olive, then with Versamark, Heat & Stick powder, then Dazzling Diamonds.  I used Fast Fuse and Dimensionals to attach and layer depending if I wanted to have the snow flat or raised.

Thank you for everything Hues of Happiness

Hello crafty friends, I'm using one of my favourite layouts today with the simply gorgeous Hues of Happiness DSP . I decided to make the card using Pool Party cardstock to complement the blue flowers in a bed of purples, I think it turned out lovely. I added detail to the card front by using the Scalloped edge from the Scalloped Contours Dies , and heat embossed a sentiment in silver from the Color & Contour stamp set .  To finish I added a touch of bling with Rhinestone  Basic Jewels . Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspiration and tips this month. I’ve listed the products I used below, just click on the picture and be taken directly to the product.  I truly appreciate your support, it inspires me to keep crafting and helps to keep my blog and YouTube channel running. If you live in Australia and don't already have a Demonstrator I'd love to be yours.  Hues of Happiness DSP Scalloped Contour Dies   Color & Cont

Color Fusers Blog Hop May 2024

It's time for this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, our colors include Pebbled Path, Bubble Bath and Moody Mauve - perfect colours for a Mother's Day Card! I've used the new Attention Shoppers Bundle for my design - a super fun set with a mix of font and cute pictures that can be mixed and matched to be used for so many occasions. I added some InColor DSP and cut the feature circle using the online exclusive  Everyday Details Dies  - they are just amazing, I missed them being released due to being so busy at work - so take it from me, make sure you keep an eye on the Online Exclusives released each March, July and November. I decided on a "wash of colour" using Stampin' Blends then die cut with the coordinating dies. After stamping the sentiment I adhered the 3 die cut images and finished by adding a touch of bling with Silver ribbon and Basic Rhinestones.

Color Fusers Blog Hop July 2024

Hello July! and welcome to this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, we are featuring the Black, White and a colour of our choice. Well, I just happened to have Pretty in Pink on my desk from another project, and being pink, that became the colour of my choice! I started by grabbing a blending brush and applying Pretty in Pink, then run my fingers under the tap and splattered water onto the pink - the longer you leave the water the more colour it draws out from the card stock. When the card front had dried completely I stamped the butterfly and sentiment from Sketched Butterflies , adding splatters with a Stampin Write marker and the "splatter" stamp from Layering Leaves . To finish I splattered some Wink of Stella and added some rhinestones for that touch of bling!

All Star Design Team - Lighter Than Air

Hello crafters, a new month, means a new bundle from the All Star Design Team. This month we are showcasing the Lighter than Air suite  from the Mini Catalogue. The All Star Design Team not only design a Tutorial Project that’s exclusive but we also each design an additional project to share here for further inspiration. Like my tutorial, I've featured the Designer Series Paper for my card - this paper is sooooooooo pretty! Pastel yet bright, it's a win win for me. The Hot Air Balloon bundle is fantastic too - stamp your own balloon's and die cut in your choice of colours, and detailed dies, the possibilities are endless! Lighter than Air Inspiration Below is a sneak peek of what’s in store with this month’s Bundle. You’ll see my teaser in the bottom left of the image.  There is more inspiration from the Team within this Blog Hop and another twelve designs in the  Bundle this month.

Color Fusers Blog Hop June 2024

Hello and welcome to this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, we are featuring the 2024-2026 InColors. I decided to create a "mixer" using all the colours with a stamp from Country Birdhouse. The flowers are a mix of Petunia Pop and Pretty in Pink with a Peach Pie centre, with Shy Shamrock leaves.  I used a Blender Brush with Summer Splash to the top and bottom of the card, working from the bottom edge up fading the colour as I went, then added a touch to the top for symmetry. To finish I added a touch of bling with Iridescent Pearls. These colours just "pop", so bright and cheery!
