Crazy Crafters Blog Hop | Special Guest Susan Wong


Welcome to another Crazy Crafters Special Guest Blog Hops. Susan Wong from New Zealand is joining us today and we've all selected a project to CASE (Copy & Selectively Edit). You can see all Susan's amazing work at her blog Stamping Susan

When I think of Susan, the first thing that comes to mind is her amazing memory keeping projects, she is such an inspiration, whether it be pocket pages or 12 x 12's.  Here are just a couple of Susan's projects that have inspired me:



So, inspired to create my own 12 x 12, I searched for photos on my computer - now that is an achievement in itself, connecting to our home network and shared photos, I think I need an IT degree some days! Once the folders were located I found so many memories I had forgotten about, I decided to theme my project on a wonderful family day at Mt Lofty last autumn


Creating my own falling leave using the Colorful Season stamp set and co-coordinating Seasonal Layers Thinlet dies was so much fun - the detail in these thinlets is amazing.  



I sponged the edges of the die cut leaves with various autumn colours.  the base colour of the background leaves is crumb cake, then a mix of Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie for an autumn feel.

The large letter framelits were prefect to notate the location of the lovely day, I stamped the leaves randomly Whisper White cardstock the laid out my letters and cut them on the Big Shot.  I really enjoyed creating this, I'll be printing more photos and creating projects to bring memories to life.

    I'm not a memory keeper, I just couldn't achieve anywhere near what you have done here so I'll just stick to cards. I particularly love the leaves you've created. They are just perfect.

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!

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
