Miss Pinks Craft Spot

Welcome to What will you Stamp, this week we have the adorably cute Sweet Home to show you. Now before you think I did an awful lot of fussy cutting, I didn't - this set can also be purchased as a Bundle  with the Home Sweet Home Thinlet dies  , look at all the amazing die cuts available! When I was looking at the set, I got the idea for a princess themed card - I have used a combination of the stamps and thinlets to make my card: I was totally in my element making this card, pretty pastels, glitter and bling!  I trimmed the die cut to create the towers for my card, and used the web stamp to give a tiled effect on the spires.  The die cuts for the roof of the treat box act as the top of the castle walls, and I trimmed the banner die cut to create the little flags.  All the stamping has a layer of Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter  , making it fit for any little Princess! I'd love to see what you can create with this set, come join in the fun wi

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop, today we have the super talented Paula Dobson from New Zealand joining us special guest! What makes today so great is that we get to CASE a project and hop along with Paula - Awesome! We hope you find great inspiration from the projects. The full blog lineup below will help you move along to see all the projects. I  so love Paula's style, I spent quite some time viewing her amazing work, then I found it, here is the card I decided to CASE: There are so many aspects of this card I adore, the colours, the sunset, the layers, but what most drawn to was the sponging technique - I'm normally a clean lines kinda girl, but I really liked the rugged hills and foreground and those sunset layers, what I was inspired to create: I created the mounds of snow by tearing paper, yes you heard right, I didn't cut I, tore the paper! I've used Smoky Slate and Soft Sky for sponging snow using the torn paper as a mask at the

Today I decided it was time to pick up a stamp set that I hadn't used before - you know one of those sets you see in the catalogue that you just have to get, and you just haven't got to use it yet!  I recently re-organised my crafting area (amazing what you find when you do this); my electric  cutter is now in a much more usable space, so I dusted it off and and had a play with that too - don't fret, you can achieve a very similar result by fussy cutting, I just didn't feel like fussy cutting today. Aren't these little fish just adorable, I can't decide between the black and white or the Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight as my favourite, the both look so lovely. H ow good does the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder  work for creating little bubbles rising from the ocean floor, and that curvy edge on the top of the card is courtesy of the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies I've used sponging on the seaweed, rope an

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop, today we have the lovely Sarah Berry from the UK joining us special guest and we get to CASE (copy and selectively edit) one of her projects. Here is the project I chose: Here's my project: I wanted to make the hero of my project the beautiful May Flowers Framlits Dies , and did this by creating a "positive/negative" design by positioning of the edge of the plate of the Big Shot and only cutting half the image on Whisper White. Then I cut a 2nd image using coloured cardstock, lined up to the first cut then trimmed and glued in place - another method you could create a similar effect is with an acetate sheet like Kim Oliver has done here . I added the  strip of Ruched Ribbon to border my change in colour then layered onto matching cardstock, then for the finishing touch of a cute little bow. Here's a different view to show the detail of the die cuts: I think Sweet Sugarplum has turned out to be m

It's CASE the Designer this week at Global Design Project ! I always love seeing the wonderful projects the design team creates, and what better than being ask CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit)  one of their projects!  I've chosen the new born baby element from Teneale's beautiful card, here is my creation: I just love the Foxy Friends  Bundle, the number of cute little critters that you can create with the stamps and punch is only limited to your imagination!  I've used Smoky Slate and Pool Party to create my baby boy card, I adore how the grey fox turned out.  And that adorable framing leaf stamp - LOVE it! I couldn't resist decorating the inside of the card too, how adorable are those little mushrooms! The top layer of my card is mounted using Foam Adhesive Strips ; these are fantastic for popping up layers for added dimension - they are a little thicker than Dimensionals which is what I have used to put together my fox.

I love fun folds and 3D projects, so when I have seen the wonderful variety of projects including candle holders, gift boxes and  Jauna Ambida 's wedding card in a box  made with the Detailed Floral Thinlets Dies  I knew I wanted to give them a try,  then I had the perfect opportunity - a special request for a 60th Birthday card. You do need to make sure that you place your dies in the correct position, but it's not too tricky to do, and as you can see the end result is just stunning. The  Floral Phrases  stamp set has the perfect stamp for adding detail to the bottom of you box too. I fussy cut a flower to place in the middle of my card and the "Happy" die cut is from the Hello You Thinlits Dies  and popped up using a strip of window sheet.    Number of Years  is just fantastic for creating Numbers for any special occasion - this card could be used for a birthday or anniversary.    Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my

Ahoy stampers! This week we are showcasing the amazingly versatile Swirly Bird  You can create such a variety of images with this set: flowers leaves birds background splatters  kites boats The stamp set can also be paired with the Swirly Scribbles framelits - purchase as a Bundle and save 10% I have made a number of cards using the flowers and leaves, so I've decided to go nautical with my latest creation, here it is I stamped my little boat and fussy cut, using the co-ordinating framelits to create the ocean, and for that WOW factor created a Life Bouy using Calypso Coral Thick Baker's Twine.  Then I went a step further and added the shaker element... there was a slight cataosrophy during this process.... I knocked the sequin container, I don't think any more needs to be said! UPDATE: Lots of people have been asking how I created the outer loops, I folded the bakers twine and tied a knot, then measured around and repeated, then I
