Beauty Abounds | Crazy Crafter Blog Hop with special guest Dena Rekow

Welcome to todays Crazy Crafter Special Guest Blog Hop, we have the great pleasure to be CASEing Dena Rekow from the United States, I love Dena's creations and tutorials - you many have visited her at The Creativity Cave.

When I saw Dena's card, I fell in love with the double stamping, and decided to CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit) this element. Here's what I was inspired to create...

I don't normally post projects from an upcoming catalogue so early (in this case the Occasions Catalogue, pre order available to Demonstrations from 5th Dec, and customer purchases from 3rd January 2019), but I got sooooo excited with my weekend delivery of Product Purchase Premiere from OnStage I couldn't resist.

This stamp set is called Beauty Abounds, and is a bundle with an absolutely gorgeous butterfly die cut (stay tuned for projects with that - there will be many, it's stunning).

After stamping using Crumb cake colour select parts of the stamped images with Old Olive, Soft Sea Foam and Melon Mambo using an Aqua Painter, then apply a soft layer of shimmer using Vegas Gold (I mixed with a little rubbing alcohol). I love my bling, so a little Metallic Thread and Pearls later and my card was finished.

Get comfortable and work your way through the list below to see all the amazing creations inspired by Dena, I can't wait to see what the rest of the team has to show you, don't miss out on any of these blog posts today as I know you are going to get inspiration!

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.

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!

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!

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
