Snow Place - PP264 - lots of layers

I don't often get the time to play at "The Paper Players" due to the working week, but it's school holidays, so I've managed to fit another challenge in this week.  There are lots of layers in PP264 from The Paper Players this week, and I love layers!


Below is the sketch by Claire that has inspired my card:


I was a little bit challenged with this, I was sure the I had some edgelits somewhere, but I couldn't find them, so I improvised by creating an edging with Soft Sky seam binding ribbon and edged with Silver Cording Trim and a thin layer of card stock - I'm quite happy with the result!


I just love the Snow Place Photopolymer Bundle (you probably already know this by now if you have visited me recently), not just the cute characters you can build, but right down to the Snowflake stamp which I have used in the background.

I layered the Whisper White and Soft Sky, then prepared the final layer for the snowman, this has been run through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling TIEF, I wrapped the cording around the middle of the card and it all started to come together - I am so glad I have glue dots, they were so handy for putting this together!

I have added touch of Dazzling Diamonds for sparkle too.  Wish I had the opportunity to photograph this in natural light, but as it is already night here and the challenge has less than 7 hrs remaining I had to go with the flash; apologies, my colours are looking a bit "warm" from the lighting in my dining room

Hope you have enjoyed my card,

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.

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!

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!
