Crazy Crafters Blog Hop | Special Guest Nadine Köller


Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with special guest Nadine Köller. Nadine's blog had me mesmerised... clean and white themed cards really appeal to me - yet I don't make them often, funny that!  After a cup of coffee whilst viewing Nadine's gorgeous projects I decided on the below card to CASE - Copy and Selectively Edit


I love the background effect, and especially the colours,  and how there is a hint of the stamped design, however the randomness (is that a word?) of the technique freaks me out as you can't really control how your pattern will look - anyway, I've stepped out of my "control" zone and given this technique a go


 I chose Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum for my colours, I was a little bit heavy handed with amount of ink I applied to the watercolour paper with the cling wrap, and I was freaked out! (hahaha), but I walked away and left it to dry - I was pleasantly surprised when I returned, the colours weren't as intense as when I first applied the ink, they were more subtle, I was a little calmer now.

Next I stamped the large daisy from the new Daisy Delight stamp set (available 1st June) with Versamark and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss powder, then I sentiment. Instead for "splattering" the card, I used the tiny daisy heads stamp and applied my little dots, then stamped single mini daisies randomly. I mounted on Blushing Bride and Sweet Sugar Plum, then on the Whisper White card base.

I enjoyed the card so much I got adventurous and made a second!


This card highlights 3 of the gorgeous 2017-2019 In Colours - Powder Pink, Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist (my daughters favourite), I wasn't sure at first as the colours were so bright, but when I added the strips of Lemon Lime and Berry Burst cardstock, WOW I was so happy with the pop of the colour combo.

    WOW Sue...I adore them both BUT The 3 incolour card is my fave :) I love bright and cheery and this ticks both boxes. (Plus Green is my fave colour and I am addicted to LLT)
    The beauty of water colour is it fades as it dries ... what you think you ahev been heavy handed with will more than likely be quite alot lighter whenh dry

    I wish I was as brave as you Sue! I am scared of not having absolute control over the outcome and have not been able to be brave yet..... one day hopefully :)

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!

Fancy Folds Stampers Showcase - Hues of Happiness Circle Easel Card

Hello there crafters! You are going to love today's Stamper Showcase Blog Hop - we are all featuring FUN FOLDS, I just love a fun fold, I should really do more of them! I decided to a Circle Easel Card, it's a smaller card, but I think you will agree is just super cute, and with the Hues of Happiness DSP is just Gorgeous! This card is a relatively simple for a fun fold and comes together very quickly - I think I spent more time doing the floral arrangement than the actual fun fold itself. I took advantage of being able to die cut images directly from the Hues of Happiness DSP - I love it when we can do this with DSP, and aren't the flowers just stunning! I took 3 different flowers and some foliage and arranged to fit within the Basic White Circle cut from the largest circle die in Layering Circles Dies set, and the largest scallop die is used for the coloured section of the card. To create the card base you need to fold a piece of card stock and positon the largest die slig
