Hello crafters, a new month, means a new All Star Tutorial. This month we are showcasing the  Hues of Happiness suite . The All Star Tutorial 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. What can I say, what is not to love about this suite! I am particularly partial to the gorgeous DSP, I love how the flowers can be die cut, so I've used this as a feature in my card today. #loveitchopit I used just 3 flowers in my design, with the largest being cut in 2 and placed at the bottom and top of the card, then I filled the gap with 2 smaller flowers and leaves also die cut from the DSP. I added one of the die cut edges to create interest on the right hand side of the card and then stamped the sentiment, add some Basic Rhinestones and my card was finished - so easy with the die cut flowers! Hues of Happiness Inspiration Below is a sneak peek of what’s in store with this month’s Tutorial ...

Hello crafters, welcome to this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, our colors include Petal Pink, Poppy Parade & Smoky Slate. Now, Poppy Parade isn't a colour that I use much, its quite bright and I'm more a pastel kinda gal. That got me thinking, and I decided to water colour flowers because then I could control how deep or pastel to make Poppy Parade. I started by stamping the flowers and leaves from the Happiness Abounds Bundle onto a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock , covered with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set. To add colour I first flooded a little water using the mid size Water Painter to the centres of the flowers and where I wanted the colour to be darker, then using the smallest Water Painter I picked up colour from my Poppy Parade ink pad and added to the water, then left to dry. When dry or almost dry I repeated the process to fill the remainder of the flower with Petal Pink, to later cut with the coordinating Blossoming Happi...

Hello my crafty friends, welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog hop - our theme: Strip Cards, and what we mean by this is cards that use strips of cardstock or DSP, even scraps - you may be familiar with the Scrappy Strip Technique? A great way to use those left over pieces you can't bear to throw away. As you know I love layers and fine lines and details, and to tear a piece of cardstock............ewwwww! But, my problem is solved with the new Deckled Rectangle Dies , torn edges with form .. WOOT, it's a win for me! So with the torn edges under control, I also cut into a piece of DSP... I know, right!  The Awash in Beauty DSP is so pretty, especially the piece that is perfect for a card front all by itself - it was just begging to be cut, so I did. I made the card slimeine so as to not loose any of that gorgeous print. For contrast I added "torn" strips of Mossy Meadow and Polished Pink with my Basic White and used a sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp se...

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...

Hi there crafty friends, this months blog hop theme is OMBRE - one of my favourite effects, I just love seeing a colour going from light to dark. I was in a pinch for time as a storm is coming and I was running out of light for my photos, so I've used DSP for a "simple" Ombre design. Like all Stampin' Up DSP, "side B" of the Awash in Beauty DSP is just as beautiful as side A, and of course I just loved this Polished Pink design when I saw it. The paper has subtle variations of Polished Pink behind the white images, just perfect for this blogs ombre theme. I've used one of my "goto" layouts for quick cards and added stitched and scalloped edges with a Penned Flowers die to highlight the bright but soft design on the DSP.  The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings stamp set , and I added some Glossy Dots to finish my quick ombre card.
