Welcome to the monthly Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. This month's theme is "something Different". You are currently visiting Sue Vine from Adelaide, Australia. I stepped outside the square of card making today and created some fun Tree Ornaments. These were super fun to make - the Season Chums images were the perfect size for the small baubles I found in my local Spotlight store. Once stamped I used the die cuts, then trimmed off the little tag section, then it was fun time - colouring! I used Fast Fuse to hold the tag together, then onto the next step! The real fun started, mixing Embossing Paste with Dazzling Diamonds to create the snow, then carefully putting a layer into the bottom of the bauble, taking care to keep the application the same on each side, then some extra glitter into one side of the bauble to shake around after it is joined - you can't have to much glitter can you, lol! I carefully laid the bottom of the die cut int...

Welcome to this month's International Blog Highlight, our theme for September is Sympathy.  It is a really sad time when our friends and family lose someone they love. As paper crafters we have a wonderful gift of being able to let them know that we are thinking of them by taking time to make them a very special card or project to show them we love them and are thinking of them during their difficult time.  I've created the below card using the Colorful Seasons stamp set, capturing the essence of caring with the simple sentiment "Thinking of you" Using a Sponge Dauber I applied Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz to the solid stamp for the small leaves, and heat embossed the sentiment with Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder. I heat embossed the outer layer of the card with Copper too. The copper Trim used for the bow is so unique - you can keep it as a "solid" ribbon like I have around the card as well as tease it out like I ha...

It's the middle of the week, time to catch up after busy past few birthday weeks. It was the Birthday Memories suite to the rescue for me when I have had to make so many male theme cards recently. This is such an amazing Suite, you are so spoilt for choice! and even more choice when you incorporate the Happy Birthday thinlet. What I love about this card is the happy cheerful colours, Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Pacific Point are such a vibrant combination - courtesy of the Birthday Memories Suite, and the pattern of the DSP is just fabulous.   I changed up the Happy Birthday die cut by snipping the words apart and adding the "special big five zero" in the middle raised up on mini dimensionals, finishing of with a strip of 1/4 in Stitched edge ribbon. Other products used to make this card: Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project.  I would love to update you when I create a post! If you would like to receive...

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with special guest Stesha Blookhart from the River Falls, Wisconsin. You can view her wonderful creations at her blog, Stampin Hoot I decided on the below project as love the quick and easy watercolour background technique - I tend to "overthink" when I am using an aqua painter to create a background, but this technique works for me even though I am not in total control hahaha! I think it's because you get you achieve a beautifully random background so quickly - no time to think about it! I used a combination of Bermuda Bay and Marina Mist on Shimmery White cardstock using a small piece of Window Sheet, and in the process noticed that when the colours blended there was a hint of purple! So on some scrap I played a bit more and added some perfect Plum - I used this to die cut the swirls and snowflakes.   I'm in love with the Snowflake Sentiments Bundle , the font is just gorgeous, and those swirls, love the s...
